The two examples given, “marijuana” and “flat earth” are two completely different topics, and should be handled IMHO in two completely separate ways. Marijuana you could have a discussion/debate about because it’s a real thing and very little real medical research has been done on it. On the other hand allowing bad faith discussion/debate about “flat earth” is pointless and a waste of time and energy for anyone with critical thinking. Those types of comments should just be shutdown as you can’t argue a bad faith topic and leaving it around only reinforces these bad faith view points creating an eventual decline in a community.
Bowing to those that use bad faith arguments as a way to “prove” this fake sense of censorship should not be tolerated, and deserve to be called out and removed. Removing posts in bad faith is not censorship, and claiming it is, makes you a bad faith actor.
Vance looks like he’s been a bender for weeks, and Trump’s hair looks like it’s trying to perform magic so you “can’t see” how thin his hair has gotten.
