An old slur gains new salience. Here's why:
Facts matter. Reality matters. Right now, it's possible that facts and reality matter more than ever before, as we are being faced with crisis upon crisis. If we do not stand up for the facts, and demand that reality be restored to its rightful place in our politics and policies, we will not be able to survive all the crises that we are faced with.
Conservapedia is a joke, to be sure, and it's not even a good joke. The truthiness culture that it represents, on the other hand, is a clear and present danger to our future well-being and that of our children. It is a mindset that is unhealthy and unacceptable, and it needs to be fought.
Some, however, just can't get enough.
