I don't think being a member of a political forum is just advocacy or learning political or philosophical POV . . . it is also, so very important that we share information about our world, and our personal experiences.
As history and the situation continue to unfold, some of the sources of information we will tend to find the most compelling, and the most reliable, are the same as what citizens in other closed societies in history have used. . . "open source intelligence." i.e., word of mouth.
When big tech, the monopolized billionaire owned corporate media, and the entrenched government bureaucracies tell us all one thing, but what we know to be true from sharing with each other is something vastly different?
This is where wisdom, and true deliberation about our nation and our world come into play.
Now. . . of course, there will always be those, who the TEE VEE can convince are in deadly danger, from internal and external threats when no such thing exists . . . but, as long as we all remember, we are all on the same side, all Americans, and are as honest as we can be with each other, the forum will always serve a useful function.
War of the Worlds isn't happening until several of us all report seeing the death machines in the skies for ourselves. . . .
