Oh sorry, I think my tone made my stance sound ambiguous, apologies for that! To clarify, I am against misinformation and I think it’s unfortunate when it occurs, but I can say drama in a meme community ranks fairly low on my list of priority areas so I’m just letting the dust settle where it may.
When I finished grad school during the last Trump administration, the concept of “Post-Truth” was a major (pessimistic) part of the academic zeitgeist at the time, and I think given the current state of events I guess I find myself falling back on old cynicism like I used to back then.
