Let's be frank. A few years in the future, the behavior this article is referring to as stoking vaccine skepticism for money, will be rightly seen as fighting the vaccine / medical tyranny hysteria.

So, if 450 ppm is bad, wouldn't 900 ppm be worse? It wasn't so long ago in the climate's history that it was that way. Not so long before that, it was 1800. Wouldn't that make the world ultra-XXXL screwed beyond belief? What happened there?

These doomsday prophecies are always conveniently distant. You can tell people any scary nonsense as long as it's far enough away that everyone will have forgotten the details of your prediction by the time it fails to come to pass.

It's just the same as how we can show people today any number of doomsday prophecies from the past about how the world was definitely going to be wrecked by 2020, or 2010, or 2000, or 1990, but somehow nobody thinks they were serious back then... but then they take the doomsday prophecy about 2030 seriously.

I doubt strcat disagrees with that. He's responding to specific statements comparing GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. I don't think we would have seen those comments if nobody had mentioned GrapheneOS.

When you see it's from WaPo, there's always an excellent chance that it's propaganda that serves the establishment, and this seems to be yet another example of that. There's no ongoing effort to disenfranchise eligible voters; there's an ongoing effort to count legal votes and not count illegal votes.

Felons can't vote; those under 18 can't vote; those who already voted somewhere else can't vote; you can't vote if you put your address down as a post office box or an empty parking lot; you can't falsely claim to be indefinitely confined and vote by mail; if you do vote by mail, there are procedures that have to be followed, things like verification that the ballot was actually sent out, verification of the signature, etc.

But all of those rules and many more were broken during the last presidential election, which made a lot of people wonder if we actually put the correct man in office, which in turn is why we're seeing this dishonest article today.

I agree with you. I remember Snopes being really useful. I don't think I ever foresaw it being corrupted... your idea that politics corrupted it seems plausible. On the other hand, more generally, it seems like whenever any entity becomes so useful that many eyes are on it, it becomes like a magnet for corruption. In other words, it becomes a tasty target. Maybe Snopes is a victim of its own success.
