This is a major theory for me. I'm going to give these ideas a lot of thought. They may settle down to being a slight restatement of what I already knew, or they might give me a lot of insight.

Key things that jumped out at me:

• The distinction between actual lies, vs. a wall of bullshit that contains vaguely true statements, but these statements are designed to distract, mislead, and obfuscate. The bullshit is effectively false, but you can't easily dismiss it or argue the conclusions with ideological opponents, because they can still always point to their pet facts to support their wrong conclusions.
• The idea that modern technology naturally generates an increase in bullshit, and an increase and diversification of bullshit points of view, all of which are spammed at us across more and more forms of media and communication
  

The idea of the bullshit market makes sense, but the point is slightly esoteric. However, this theory explains how and why the level of bullshit has gone up.

I will say that counter to this theory, we do see a lot of outright lies in the media as well. We saw this with the RVF meetups this past spring and Roosh's tour last year. We also see outright censorship, as with the European media reporting on rape statistics, or Facebook and Twitter censoring people like Milo.

I think they are counting on the bullshit to hide these things. Actually, when they say they are just disallowing "hate", this is more of the same kind of bullshit. To us, they're outright lying, but in their minds, what they are saying is true, and they are bullshitting rationalizations for their actions.
