Yes it matters. The truth always matters. I'm sure you and @thecoastguy would both agree, though, that we are being presented with stories that demand we abandon or invert our values and sacrifice our freedoms. It's important for people to realise, first, that whether or not those narratives are true, our moral foundations must always hold firm against any story. Opposition to lockdowns, masks, testing and jabs did not require or rely on a strong belief that there was no virus. The virus could have been a thousand times worse than they told us, and very real, and there would still have been no ethical justification for what they were doing. Obviously, we know it was a lie, and it was a carefully crafted lie designed to make billions of human beings agree to be poisoned. Eventually, it would be great if most people could grasp that, and it's difficult for us because we know these narratives are all false. We want to expose the lies, and we must never stop doing so. But the reason it worked so well is not simply because people believed the story. It was because their consciousness had been so trampled that they allowed a story to strip them of their freedom, dignity and moral principles. In exactly the same way, the story of October 7th, whether true or not, made people watch more than a year of relentless slaughter of children and accept it as justified. When it isn't justifiable. Ever. Now, another point I'm sure you'll both agree on, is that the authors of these fake stories know very well, that once you've made people invert their morals by selling them a fake story, they will then apply the same inhuman ideas to every story that comes along, real or fake. They will let their stories - their lives - be dictated by those same disgusting ideas. What we need to aim for, is a humanity with a sense of worth and spiritual fortitude so incredibly powerful, that even when the most terrifying, urgent, and true story presents itself, our minds and our souls cannot be captured, and our moral foundations cannot be shaken. You're both doing a great job of helping us get there.
