>To save free speech we must stop funding people who theorize in bad faith

To believe this in a meaningful, rational way would require one to constantly call out administrations and propagandists, after months and years of debunking evidences the methods to serially operate in bad faith.

In the absence of any calling out: We can reasonably surmise they are either captured by political cultists and not processing rationally - or that they are simply operating in bad faith.

Granting, however, that some percent of folks simply get off on bad actors and the harm they do to those who never earned that. For them, cruelty brings it's own buzz and that is enough.



Sounds like you’re defining a binary, a big no-no in pomo! Better to say that political disagreement exists on a spectrum.
