Everything on the internet is a lie. What exactly is your metric for archival and what dilo you ever think you'll do with it?

The metric is probably "it says things I agree with". That doesn't mean it's true. It's like the "6,000,000/number of ovens*hours" calculation. It's a lie, because the 6 million figure actually had nothing to do with cremations. Yet some people get really mad when you point that out. Wooden gas chamber doors? It was exactly one door in one camp that held no prisoners.

Some people recognize that these are lies but recognize their memetic potential: they aren't supposed to be taken seriously. However many others actually believe these are bulletproof arguments and completely true.

So would you actually have any way of knowing if your Dissident websites are also full of lies? Or would you unwittingly fall for them because you agree with it?

In either case, then what is the point of archival? You shouldn't need anything to archive. You should be comfortable just making shit up and claiming it's true, because everything on the internet is made up shit. Everybody makes up lies to support their opinions all the time.

So I don't need to archive shit. Everything ever written by anyone is a lie, so I'll just believe what I want. Anyone who wants sources for anything is a fag.

The last time someone linked me to a dissident website it was a "debunking the debunking of the protocols" and it was literally hundreds upon hundreds of pages of schizophrenic raving that made no sense and barely addressed anything. But people believed it because they wanted to.

The entire world has been completely fake for decades. Literally every dissident I met pretends they're a 6'7" yoked Aryan living on a 600 acre homestead with 14 homeschooled children and 88 million dollars in crypto.

It's a big lie. So what good does archiving lies do.
