So, who gets to decide what is true, what opinion matters, what theory is a conspiracy, etc? What you are proposing is what leads to fascism. Only a few decide all of the above.

We have a functional legal system and a functional democracy. Who said anything about one person making the decision. We have worked out regulations and laws for centuries - why so little faith now? II don't get how that somehow ends in fascism. How do you think we worked out property laws, libel laws, any law for that matter?

What we currently confront is a small group of extremely wealthy and powerful people who think they stand above the our legal and political system. That needs to end. They are not above either and their platforms need to be brought to account to the legal system and to the people. Their argument that what they've created is somehow a uniquely separate ecosystem to that which the rest of us operates is bullshit.. it's elitism. It's why we had revolutions to devolve power to the people away from kings and others who held individual power over us.
