    Okay I am with you but to be clear these sources do absolutely have bias. There is no such thing as unbiased information.

      In this case they’re biased for reality since there is a genocide happening in Gaza rn. But when the person saying this also dismisses a genocide as “not genocide, it’s a war crime” and then unironically sites a source that’s ran by Zionists, that’s how you know you’re not dealing with someone who is speaking in good faith on this issue

      edit: wording, bit tipsy and I can’t type rn

          I don’t think a ban would be seen as ceasing to be a ban just because there are federation glitches right now that causes the ban to fail to be federated (not to be confused with a community you are “banned” from and only your instance can interact with you in), but whatever. You’re probably right. Assuming you’re even anyone who has been here before.

          I cited Snopes too.

          This does undermine the OP’s point.

    Cognitive dissonance is deeply uncomfortable and most people will double down on whatever will validate their priors rather than face a preponderance of sources that contradict them.
