Any space where the centralized power wielding quorum of leaders uses their authority to silence opposing viewpoints? Is not only toxic but intellectually weak.

I took the debate out of Luke's personal discord and echo chamber and none of them are capable engaging in an objective, evidence-based discussion in front of the rest of the wider cryptosphere. Evidence shows that Luke himself literally rejects objective data.
They only wish to operate within the context of their ardent supports and acolytes who blindly follow them no matter what...
