Interesting article about current state of Libertarianism. Is it really broken or why they are acting so strange lately?

    The Brownstone Institute is Tucker’s project to push pseudoscientific garbage that will ruin public health as we know it. The wording “COVID ideology” alone proves that.

      That’s kind of interesting - you say that they do pseudo science, what exact claims weren’t verified? Also many other websites even here spread any stupidity like flat earth but nobody put effort to censor them. What is the reason? I mean, could it be reversed, that the pseudoscience need censorship to suppress the real data?

        Flat Earth has not been shown to be an infectious disease. Believing Flat Earth generally does not endanger anyone’s life unless you are working for a space agency or NASA? There was that one flat earther that got himself killed trying to launch himself in the air to prove the Earth was flat.

        It’s pseudoscience not just because there were unverified claims. But because they in a Freudian slip call it an ideology and not a science proving that they are not being scientific about anything. But rather ideological. Therefore not actual science. They were disproven on many things like masking etc. But no matter how many times it gets posted or linked. Certain types of people ignore or just refuse to believe.
