The people railing against student loan forgiveness have gotten their PPP loans forgiven.

You do with that information what you want.

Are the J6 protestors "political prisoners" or are they "undercover fbi agents"/"antifa"?

Or is it whichever is most convenient for your narrative?

Misinformation by any other name is still misinformation. If that's not positive enough for you, truth seeking may not be for you.

We have a lesson or two to learn from France.

If Donald Trump is a billionaire, why do his supporters keep sending him millions?

They're falling for a grift, is all.

Shame to those who do and want to ban books.

Let's not become a home to bigots like this.

For truth to prevail, lies have to be called out.

It's simple, obvious, and not being done nearly enough within this community.

If you trust the justice system enough to dish out death penalties, I've got bad news for you.

I wish I could be as excited about something as Sarah Huckabee Sanders about repealing child labor laws, making it easier for teenagers to work for poverty wages.

Idaho: GOP shoots down bill to criminalize child marriage
West Virginia: GOP shoots down bill to criminalize child marriage
Arkansas: GOP eases child labor laws to make it easier to employ 14 and 15 year olds.

These are the people taking away other's rights to "protect the children".
They are the people that get books banned to "protect the children".
They are the people that try to get your votes with "protect the children" slogans.

Their goal clearly isn't really to protect children, otherwise they would when they have the chance to. Go figure.

You have come to the realization that the public was being misled this whole time. There is not a doubt in your mind. There are the people on one side, and the media and politicians on the other side, telling lies.

Now go one step further and realize that you never stopped being "the public" and that there are still interests out there actively lying to you, actively misleading you, actively manipulating you.

The narrative has a counter-narrative, and both sides are fabricated, and engineered with a purpose. Not falling for one is only a partial success.

If you turn away from one just to lean into the other, no progress has been made. That's what I see entirely too much of on here.

All of the sudden nobody is calling Jan 6. an Antifa event anymore.

You want to complain about mainstream media, do. By all means, there's more than enough reason for it. Just don't forget to look around. There's a lack of honesty on both sides.

How much are the Trump NFTs worth these days?

If I'm gonna manifest anything, it'll be the change that billionaire sucker-ups like you are you are actively preventing.

You try to lecture me about optimism while having nothing to offer but dimwitted insults.

In the word of the false shepherd you so wrongly idolize: Sad!

It should be noted that it's worth being extra skeptical of anything those people post.

Especially if it sounds appealing.

"Anons" who respond to anons asking for a source with snark, ridicule or arrogance are not part of the solution.

They are part of the problem.

Always the banker class behind the chaos."

“So you talk about the mobs and the working classes as if they were the question. You've got that eternal idiotic idea that if anarchy came it would come from the poor. Why should it? The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all. Aristocrats were always anarchists..."

--G.K. Chesterton

Who are we to tell the Ukrainian people to give up their homes and their country?

Telling Russia to go home if you want this war to end is the only sensible thing to do, other than shutting up.

Norfolk Southern, the company responsible for this derailment, decided to spend $10 billion of their $12 billion profits on stock buybacks, rather than hiring more workers, paying them better, training them better, equipping their trains with better safety features, etc.

Be upset about Biden, about the media, at the governor who refused federal help, which is probably one of the reasons some idiots got to burn the stuff, and take your time with it.

Just save some anger for the greedy assholes at Southern Norfolk that decided to enrich themselves instead of using it to run their operations safely.

Daily reminder that you will pay more in taxes this year than many billionaires.

When you start taking things at face value and stop interpreting your own hopes and beliefs into the things people say, that is when you realize Trump is an empty shell with nothing to offer.

Shit on academia all you want. There are many reasons to.

But shitting on science just means you refuse to learn from observation, experience and trial and error.

If you suspend your disbelief because someone with thousands, or tens of thousands of followers, posts something, you're doing the whole truth seeking thing wrong.

The biggest influencers on this website spread lies and misinformation on the regular.

Below is VK sharing some story of an alternative history where giants existed. It's entirely fabricated. The image is of the Giants of Reus, a traditional procession during the festival of Reus.

They're big puppets, basically. I added some more recent images of the festival.

Bullshit detectors need to be on high alert, but I keep seeing people doubling down on this crap. If there was just one reason the word disappointed is in my bio, this would be it.

Anons are better than this. They need to be, because otherwise nobody is.

Simple way to identify posts that exist solely to sway opinions.

Y'all are on top of the news game.

It's not rare that I see something here hours before the algorithms on other platforms feed it to me.

I may have my criticisms, but this is something I commend.

Copy pasting text from Wikipedia to "win" an argument is a bad move already.

Copy pasting the wrong text from Wikipedia to win an argument and still acting like a smartass?
That's more of an outing than a triumph.

Without wishing to sound harsh, critical,or disrespectful, playing the blame game card, only leads to more division and heartache.
Everyone makes choices, and whilst they may not be our own, we have to learn how to respect their right to make their own choices.
You believe your choice is the right one just as they believe theirs is, There is no right and wrong here, otherwise you set yourself up as Judge and Jury with bias.
