"Pedantically Correct": The Key Difference Between Midwittery and Dimwittery
Revisiting the midwit question from a different angle: How does one tell the difference between a midwit, and a dimwit? The answer lies in a common trait shared by midwit takes: pedantry.
There is a lot of heated discussion going on right now about the recent Russian invasion into Ukraine. Unfortunately, a lot of people are getting duped into a classic false dichotomy - this idea that you have to be either Pro Russia or Pro Ukraine. The reality is you can criticize both sides for their wrongdoings, while recognizing that the war is overall unnecessary. There are multiple alternative positions to take on this conflict that we can choose from that don't involve blind support.

You know that totally insane conspiracy theory that a lot of big tech censorship is actually coming from corrupt agencies within the federal government?
More evidence has come to light about the DHS and CISA involvement with much of the Big tech censorship we have been seeing in recent years, and much of the media's response has been...underwhelming.

"Clown World Journalism" is the best phrase I can think of to describe the difference between Wikileaks' scientific journalism and Wikipedia's obsession with secondary editorialized sources over hard facts.
Wikipedia has a lot of problems, and the way that Wikileaks looks at journalism provides an interesting look into why Wikipedia has these problems. Biased sources, prejudiced editors, and a culture of complex gatekeeping have degenerated the once very usable site into being merely a mouthpiece for special interest establishment propaganda.

Here's a WEIRD trick on how to destroy your own political movement from within: Rally around influencers of questionable integrity and make a complete fool of yourself! It worked for the Alt Right. It's working well for Breadtube now as well! In all seriousness, let us learn from their mistakes.
