The Rules

I’m sorry, but fuck free speech as so many people are raving about. Its the worst thing that has happened to the world since the Internet came on. All idiots now have a loud voice and the vast majority of humans apparently are very poorly equipped to weed out this bullshit.

Don't even need the internet, the printing press gave us Malleus Maleficarum which fed the whole witch hunting craze. Then we had the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a fake book made by Imperial Russia to demonize Jews. People were just as vulnerable to bullshit back then when it meshed with their existing biases.
