I must draw attention to a diary that is currently, for some reason, featured in the Community Spotlight, that is promoting pure fantasy, in direct contradiction to well established history and science.
The left should be the political side that bases our worldview and opinions, whenever possible, on evidence, science, reason, knowledge, and education. Without that, what are we, other than yet another patronage association?
Am I being a scold? Hell yes. As the cliche goes, you are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts. When opinions contradict well founded historical and scientific facts, you need to adjust your opinions. If you think something is 'interesting', if it is then shown to be completely false, you must demote it from interesting.
