Debunking Lies: Is It Worth It?

From Robert Reich:  The right wing is dominating on TV and social media, reaching tens of millions of people and feeding them baseless conspiracy theories and propaganda. Stay informed so you can debunk these lies in real time, and beat back right-wing disinformation.

I suppose if you have a communications platform as wide-reaching as Reich’s, this makes sense.

My megaphone is many orders of magnitude smaller, and thus, I don’t “debunk lies in real time,” nor do I “beat back right-wing disinformation.”

And that’s not only because of the relatively tiny stature of 2GreenEnergy; it’s mainly due to my policy: don’t argue with idiots and lunatics.

The MAGA crowd has very little interest in opening their minds to a world that is of full of facts and based purely on rational discussion.

I wish I could change other peoples’ minds in statistically meaningful ways, but I cant.
