    Let me clarify. I’m an imbecile who normally comments on porn and trash memes. I didn’t put much thought into it besides “PSA: we’re inclined to believe things that align with us! Make sure to check!” Because I gotta remind myself often because I believe most things I like. and think people also might appreciate being reminded. I just think too often in binary terms because (see above) I’m an idiot and it’s all easier that way. But I’m always trying to grow and do better so I’ll take your critique of my comment to heart.

    I guess I’ll try to phrase things less binarily in the future. Or keep it short. But thanks for keeping me on it.

      God damn, this is an awesome level headed comment.

      I like that you are BOTH right.

      “Both sides” has definitely changed in meaning. Every time I read it I just assume it’s some right wing dipshit trying to muddy the waters.

      Your point is totally valid though, misinformation comes and can come from anywhere, especially online.

      Keep up the good work both of you!
