Which is interesting as it's coming from reason.com
There's another fundamentalist influencer family, a conservative wannabe Eminem and his disturbingly meek wife. They also have a gaggle of children and have been investigated by DCFS. Oh and then there's the family that Shaq buys stuff for all the time, and the one whose oldest son is in prison for possession of CSAM, and the family whose grandparents were literal Nazis.
These people all know each other, have all kinds of cronies, and spread all kinds of misinformation. I wouldn't put it past any of them to make a fake "news" website to back up their own claims, and name it something dumb like reason.com 😂
Reason.com is a publication that's been around for years, decidedly libertarian lean. No idea what that means for it in current political context. I used to see people from Reason on Bill Maher's show as non-Republican conservative-ish voices.
Hm, interesting, thanks for sharing. Libertarians and fundamentalist influencers have quite a bit of overlap in the ideologies, funny enough. I don't know how to feel about the Bill Maher tidbit though... I'm not his biggest fan, lol.
Me neither. Part of that came from watching him for a while.
As another commenter pointed out Reason magazine has been around for decades. It's a libertarian publication so I don't trust them to not push views a 14-year old would think is deep but any well-adjusted adult could see right through, but it isn't like they are some fly-by-night website.
Thank you for sharing, but now I'm even more suspicious. Libertarians aren't exactly known for their fact checking abilities, and I can't find this news story on websites that seem any more reputable.
