It’s frustrating how many assumptions people make about your beliefs just because you are trying to make a purely fact-based correction. Like if I try to say something like “the victim was actually armed when they were shot by the police” (made up example) people just instantly assume I’m a fascist bootlicker when I’m really just trying to get the facts straight. It’s just that misinformation that goes against prevailing opinion gets instantly swatted down but misinformation that validates people’s opinions is tolerated way more than it should be.

We are in a purely vibes based media landscape. The left cares more about facts than does the right, but overall neither cares overly much about them.
