The stones could have gone with him (like other people's shoes, etc., did), and Endgame could have cut a lot of its first 20 minutes in order to shore up its back half's more hand-wavy stuff.

Black Mirror has made a lot of "video game" episodes but proves each time that it doesn't know how they work and has absolutely nothing to say about them.

But also (and no one loves to hear this) a functioning republic relies on gatekeepers and party apparatchiks to shoo away unfit individuals before they can be taken seriously.
We leftists love to eat our own for not doing enough, but we can't control to whom the other side hands their flag.

You *can* find and grow an audience by charging into a topic saying "this is wrong," but only as an entertainer, not an educator. True debunking only really works after you've built up trust.
Social media and influencer culture has warped everyone's idea of how public debate actually works.
