full of naive optimism

@putrice i think im doing ok for a girl who lazes around playing video games all day :3

If your side makes some absurd claim about the enemy killing their own civilians for not clapping or whatever, and the enemy points out your real war crimes, then, while your fanatics might believe you anyway, the response of the Educated Moderate would be: ‘Well, there’s a lot of misinformation going around, so it’s not really possible to know the facts for sure’ - tacitly going along with your goal of muddying the waters, and feeling like they’ve outsmarted you for it.

I mean - well, who knows if proper lockdowns actually work, right? Sure, you could point to the amazing efforts China and Vietnam have gone to to, which have saved countless millions of lives, unlike the US - but There’s A Lot of Misinformation Going Around and Do You Really Trust Either of Them?
