That's just human nature, tribalism justifies everything. It's why echo chambers are so appealing to so many people, and why they devolve into meme-slinging and a lack of critical thought.

Echo chambers and political tribalism are one thing. Government and courts using police forces to coerce your speech is quite another. Uncritical discourse is sad but it does not excuse this blatant censorship.

Yeah courts unilaterally deciding what political advocacy is disinformation or not is just a monarchy in disguise. It is just like the King deciding what is good for the Kingdom .By the way your comments on the current situation in Brazil have been so eye opening to me as an outsider. I did my own research and the more I read, the more shocked I become.

There's plenty more in my comments and submissions history. I can make a list of links if you'd like. This is where it began:

Other brazilians here on HN have also corrected me on points where I was wrong, I learned plenty from them even in in cases where I didn't agree.

> It's why echo chambers are so appealing to so many people
When I realized just how much of an echo chamber I built myself a few years ago, I essentially forced myself to develop a habit of seeking out "the other sides" opinions. One of the better decisions in my life.
