I haven't had the time to follow the discussion closely, but I don't understand the logic: It seems that you see going to north as a goal that needs to be reached, and the tools existing when people went there as something required to achieve this goal. That makes no sense to me. But I may misunderstand.by Tommi Huhtamaki - Humanities

Debunked David Rose doubles down, goes full Trump Apoligies for the actual topic of the blog article, lumping all thing 'conservative' in one group. This is something I don't agree with, and believe that people thinking either 'liberal' or 'conservative' news are unreliable and ignoring them will lead only to more polarization.
