In social media, when something is mostly deffended by whom you hate, just by talking about this thing without positioning yourself against it will set yourself like an untrusted person or even an enemy.
Like, could you imagine a famous right libertarian just talking about covid by its true level, without shitty fans putting him as part of the ones that uses covid for political control?
Sure covid exists and killed a bunch of people, but as the discourse window set two sides and now social media set everyone in a false dichotomy of denying all or supporting state.
And, social media dictates that a little paragraph positioning yourself is a boring thing; so no one has any incentive to discuss truth as it is; because it certainly will set them on bad strips. What is on social media does not truly reflects what people think.
