That person who reported my comments as misinformation - it's a sign of an anti-intellectual culture where people use force against minority ideas.
I studied in a scientific field at university many decades ago - and, back then, the lecturer would have failed you if you asserted that the majority view is always right. The university degree was, above all, meant to teach one to think.
Whereas, within one or two generations, the tipping point has been crossed, where the entire Australian society is now based on crushing any opposing ideas as being misinformation. (This football forum is like a microcosm of typical Australia in 2024).
On this forum, when I cite scientific papers, videos of highly credentialed people - who hold opposite views to the Morning Breakfast host - instantly those medical experts are hosed down as "misinformation".
This is the cultural shift that's happened in the US, UK, Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand in the last 40 years.
The last bastion is the US, where there is still a 50/50 split between conservatives and progressives, mostly because of a robust conservative media.
But everywhere else, it's now the dark ages where opposing views are now met with jail sentences.

If you want to know how a seemingly intellectual society like 1930's Germany could go Nazi, it's because the people tolerated this crushing of opposing voices.
For example, in the U.S., parents who opposed their school libraries stocking highly sexualised books, were deemed by the Biden Democrat/Leftist government as being "domestic terrorists".
The Justice Department is facing a wave of backlash as parents criticize its recent decision to investigate potential acts of violence against school boards across the country.

Whereas in Australia, there is no more push back against woke. It is the norm to crush opposing voices. It might seem harmless for some
simple guy to report my comments as misinformation - but if that
very same person got into a position of power,
he/she would sack employees for saying dissenting things - or if he/sh
e became a politician, they would bring in legislation - as Labor have done - to crush any views that are against the government's position. So
that person's actions are not innocent. They are symptomatic of a society that is not just intolerant - but has crossed the line into destroying the lives of people who hold opposing ideas.
