I’ve found the reaction to all this very telling. of course he’s wrong about some things because if you have an opinion on *everything*, as you tend to have to when you run for president, of course some of it will be wrong.

the regime is freaking out not because of the output here but the throughput: it’s not that he gets things wrong that they hate, it’s that he thinks for himself. he isn’t captured by borg financial interests. they are gaslighting everybody about the symptoms to try to deflect from the cause.

the real issue he is drawing attention to is whether or not you are allowed to think for yourself in the first place. if you are, it doesn’t matter that he might be wrong - as he would undoubtedly agree and encourage! but if you aren’t, then any narrative dissent must be crushed. and note I didn’t say “falsehood” - what I am pointing to is more like what is now euphemistically called “misinformation”.

to a thinking person, even the concept of “misinformation” as opposed to “falsehood” is offensive. to a regime that takes the concept of misinformation seriously, thinking people are offensive. RFK is appealing to thinking people and, in doing so, showing them that it’s okay to think.
