It’s Not The People We Should Platform, It’s the Ideas

Karel Cast 25-41

There’s a petition from Democrats to demand Gavin Newsom stop platforming extreme Right people. And I agree, we don’t need to give these people any more oxygen. But to dismiss their ideas, their arguments, or their issues prematurely, at least some of them, may be just too dismissive.

For instance. Vaccines. Are they safe, all of them? No. They are not. And I am living proof. My life has almost been ruined by the Shingrix Vaccine from GlaxoSMithKline. And thousands of others as well. But science finds that acceptable for the good of the many. But what if YOU’RE the one? Why release something that could do those things to more than 100 people total? So RFKJr has a point, he’s just obtuse and misguided.

The Department of Education. We all agree Education in the USA is broken. We charge too much to college kids to go and have an entire bureaucracy setup to handle their loans. We underpay teachers, schools have become shooting galleries. And kids are coming out of the system complete idiots. Something is wrong and reform should start on the federal level. Abolishing isn’t the answer, expanding its mandate is but we can all agree, it’s broken.

Government: There’s not one of us that thinks it has ever truly worked well. The post office is a mess, but privatizing isn’t the answer. DMV is a mess. Every government agency is overloaded an inefficient and doesn’t really serve the people well. But gutting it is not the answer. Repairing, replacing, modernizing and expanding is.

Their grievances often mirror those of the other side. The solutions is what we disagree upon.
