    I don’t understand this take. Trump has a huge following that won’t believe any evidence, but besides those fucks, evidence will always hold value to anyone not in that cult. It might even snap a few of them out of it.

      Exactly, and in the future it can also be used. It can be used in conjunction with other efforts. It allows to report on these things with hard facts that provides levels of protection, even in the current system. And if anyone looks up from their cult-dream, there is gonna be something strong to look at.

      Saying it’s “to soothe the soul” to shining light on truth of such dimensions is incredibly ignorant.

      Also, if it’s so meaningless and won’t change anything, it’s pretty weird they fight hard on every front to keep it away.

      I think some people are very limited in their understanding of how it can be utilized.

      Guess there’s no point writing, investigating, or sharing anything about cults either, since many still exist and people are so stuck in them.

      Sorry, OP. I’m sure you mean well and are being genuine, but to me this isn’t thought through far enough and stupid defeatism in essence.
