There was an incredible one-two punch of centrist misinformation around Iraq and the Great Recession that set the stage for destabilizing American politics. https://t.co/CuJYqbyKRM https://t.co/Wy9beBMViL — PolitiTweet.org

Probably the biggest example is that you persistently here some version of the idea that the world is currently on course for some kind of extinction-level climate tipping point which isn’t even what the underlying documents people cite are saying. https://t.co/CuJYqbyKRM https://t.co/mrCJ5KddzN — PolitiTweet.org

“Misinformation” as a problem has been construed in a very narrowly partisan and ideological manner that belies the clear reality that there’s lots of influential misinformation of all kinds floating around. https://t.co/CuJYqbyKRM — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Wallace, who arguably precipitated the whole thing, later went on to have a successful career in British politics where he currently puts his resume as a multi-time DPOY winner to good use serving as Secretary of Defense. — PolitiTweet.org

@ciphergoth Yeah I think the internet age has made this very hard since “the argument for X that is most likely to persuade a skeptical audience” is probably much less viral than many dramatically weaker arguments. — PolitiTweet.org

A good observation to make about any dispute that exists in society is that most of the people on [side you want to disparage] are making sloppy and fallacious arguments, because this is reliably true of all sides of all disputes. — PolitiTweet.org

If you think that invading and occupying Mexico could be accomplished for a fraction of what we’re spending on Ukraine, I’d invite you to consider the financial cost of occupying the much smaller country of Iraq. — PolitiTweet.org

Fentanyl is very potent, it’s easy to conceal, and it can be manufactured in arbitrary locations — it is unfortunately a hard problem. https://t.co/WJk0sPThqn — PolitiTweet.org

One thing that’s been impressive about the Ukrainian performance in the war is that they’ve shown over the past year that material assistance really mostly is put to good use on the battlefield — that wasn’t a given, and hasn’t been the case with every American aid program. — PolitiTweet.org

The US has spent ~$3 billion on Mérida Initiative security assistance programs in Mexico and I don’t think it’s done a lot of good. You could try to convince me that the problem here is we’re not spending enough, but you’d have to spell it out in some detail. — PolitiTweet.org
