10. Why let a filter come between you and TSF?
Mon Feb 23, 2026, 01:29 PM
Feb 2026

Watch and decide for yourself. Bearing witness is uncomfortable. Letting someone tell you what TSF said is giving up your agency. Why set yourself up for gaslighting? Why let others tell you how to interpret what is being said?
Those moments when he says the quite part out loud can be reveling.

Participating in a democracy means paying attention. Even when it's painful to watch or listen.

Go ahead and watch a recap. Some will play it straight, most will have some spin.
