So if the whole argument is that being able to see radicalized propaganda will make people radicalized, and thus is wrong to allow people to see it... does that work both ways.. If you are "radicalized" towards good and taking doing and treating people good to an extreme, then shouldnt the bad radicalized people turn into good radicalized people by that same exposure to good?

The logic doesnt really add up for me, but regardless this is not the reason why we have open federation as many of you know, but it does show a flaw in their logic.

@undefined @freemo I don't know whether there are people for whom this works. It doesn't for me.

I deliberately look at material produced by people who I disagree with, from time to time. It helps me in various ways.

If that person seems to follow deliberate deza (disinformation) talking points I get to see what those talking points are today. (For example.)

If a reporter talks about an incident but says the images are too horrific, they won't show them, I'm immediately suspicious. Sometimes I go out to find the images. Sometimes the reporter is wrong in important ways.

People who often make sense to me and seem right, can make mistakes. I expect that, and I expect to make mistakes myself. I don't stop talking to them if they make a mistake, and I hope they don't stop talking to me, when I do
