I mean like if you translated Project 25 so the opposite or reverse of every single policy prescription it makes is compiled, could that be the playbook for a much better and equitable future society?

Sorta like a Project 21st Century™️

EDIT: I’m not necessarily saying if they say “=18% corporate taxes” == “-18%” or “+36%”, I just mean they want to lower the taxes to reach that so why not consider raising it in the opposite direction so you’re moving away from anti-utopia

    I feel like the easy approach to dealing with misinformation folks is to ask them to cite their evidence in one source and have that source live debunk their asses

      Problem is that, in the post-truth world we are living in, there are large groups of people in online spaces who put feelings over facts. It doesn’t matter what you can prove, it only matters what you know, because other things they believe in like religion and conspiracies that define their isolated worldviews can’t be proven either.

        Drag asked someone to cite a source the other day and they refused. They wanted drag to cite a source for saying there wasn’t evidence. You can’t prove a negative!
