Credibility with who? We’re so polarized that a single binary label will shift all credibility.

Experience, success, credentials none of it matters anymore. The left thinks everything on the right is stupid and evil, the right does the same, and everyone drinks their own kool aid.

We’ve all stopped listening.



If we all spent more time listening the guy who called someone a pedophile because he suggested the guy's plan to save people was ridiculous, would that improve discourse? I am skeptical.


I don't think Twitter is going to be the place where a revival of listening is going to start.


Perhaps EFF doesn’t want to find and legitimize the people pushing such divisivness.


This is the fallacy. These organizations no longer have any ability to “legitimize” as trust is fundamentally eroded. Leaving will simply remove any engagement with the very people they want to influence- people that are unengaged and people that actively disagree
