Wouldn’t it be great? But yes, it’s antithetical to those instances, which are fully intended as propaganda.

My hope is that the best ideas can handle a little dissent, while the ideas that fully rely on memes and echo chambers get deflated.

I’ve seen what happens when moderation enforces an echo chamber. It’s so much easier to believe a narrative when it’s the only one we hear. It’s the entire premise of reading fiction. We’re primed to believe the story goes as the author says, whether it’s fiction or non-fiction. Timed correctly, it doesn’t take a huge opposing narrative to trigger us to think about it more.
