    You’re clearly very passionate, so I thought I’d offer you a bit of friendly advice. Not about the content of what you wrote, that’s a whole different conversation, but about how you’re saying it.

    What you’ve posted is a textbook example of something called the fallacy of verbosity. That’s when someone overwhelms the reader with so much information, so many accusations, claims, and ideas, rapid-fire and without evidence, that it feels like you’re trying to convince through sheer volume rather than reason. It’s not persuasive. It’s exhausting.

    You’re not giving people a chance to digest or respond to a single thought before you’re already three topics down the road. It doesn’t feel like a conversation, it feels like a rant. And that’s likely why you’re getting downvoted. Honestly, I doubt many people are even reading it all the way through. It’s not necessarily that they’re rejecting your worldview (though some might), but the way it’s presented comes across as incoherent, aggressive, and conspiratorial.

    To someone who already agrees with you, maybe this kind of intensity resonates. But to anyone outside that bubble, even someone trying to listen with an open mind, it reads like shouting in a crowded room. No paragraph breaks, no sources, no structure… just a flood of unverified claims, many of which sound reckless or even dangerous without context.

    If your goal is to actually reach people, to get them thinking, to change minds, you’ve got to meet them where they are. Speak with clarity, not chaos. Choose a point. Back it up. Invite discussion, not submission.

    Right now, you’re not inviting anyone in. You’re just pushing people away.
