  1. It's starting to feel here like it looks in S. Africa: unmitigated violence against the perceived "other". The stupid are much more susceptible to emotional capture precisely BECAUSE they are stupid. Smart people don't need "protection" from speech OF ANY KIND. The exercise of Intelligence provides all the protection desired. People have been vetting fake news for thousands of years, and doing pretty well at it, given the requisite intelligence, that is. But we're being lobbied to believe no amount of intelligence is sufficient to combat fake news, so we have to be protected from seeing it in the first place, since, once seen, we are unwittingly victimized/damaged by it. Bull shit!--unless you're stupid. Has anyone yet considered in detail how Dunning-Kruger plays out?
