    Modded as misinfo, worth to check the modlog… There were no links to any fake news sites nor information commented, just a realization that apparently all reports of even different cases can’t possibly have any truth to them.

    Trump’s lawsuits could be an allegory. There’s so many of them and similarly all of them have to be fake I guess. No fire where there’s smoke

      Really making it obvious here that when liberals say “misinformation” they don’t mean “false information” they mean “using sources I don’t like”. Your post contained misinformation; it’s got nothing to do with “links” or “fake news sites”

      There’s so many of them and similarly all of them have to be fake I guess. No fire where there’s smoke

      This is literally the argument that neonazis make to justify their antisemitism: “the Jews have been accused of so many bad things! Surely they can’t all be fake”.

      Turns out it’s actually extremely easy to fire hose bad faith accusations at your enemies.

        I’m sorry you see me as an enemy and act reactively. I see we the people as one and am not related to the image you need to attack.

        Edit: and after all the compassion that horrible projection of a reply is what we see
