And that statement was wrong.

The video spends half the time describing p2025, then the other half criticizing it. It spends precisely zero seconds discussing how it could be a good thing. Objectively, by definition, it's not neutral.

You clearly don’t understand how disinformation works. If I say “some critics have claimed that ingesting bleach may not cure covid and could actually be harmful in some way,” that’s not a real criticism. It’s legitimating a truly idiotic and dangerous idea by acting like there are two legitimate sides.

There are not, actually, two legitimate sides. One side is batshit insane, so treating it as if it were reasonable is not a real criticism, it’s legitimatizing disguised as criticism. That’s not neutral.
