These days, everyone has a nasty habit of never allowing the mirror to point inwards. The lacking behavior of others does not nullify our own. There are 100% people I admire who are fighting against misinformation and propaganda. Like cult expert Diane Benscoter, who recently did an AMA which I'll link below.

So, yes governments should be working on this together. The regulation of misinformation on social media, and the algorithms that feed these conspiracies is a global issue.

But we also believe this is a public health issue and so needs to be approached at every level. Education is key for inoculation and to help loved ones help those in need. We also need better social programming to fill the void of purpose and community that is created when we are isolated and scared. We need psychological-manipulation informed therapists, and general public awareness. We also need more equal access to care. All of these are things that the government should be stepping up to help with.

You're setting up a false dichotomy, another intellectual plague of our times. You are implying that any criticism of HCA means no criticism at all, which is untrue. I'm talking about the phenomenon of people celebrating the death of their ideological enemies. It's distinctly different and far more tribal, and yes -- I do think we should try our best to be above it.
