Modern misinformation is often let's find some common ground so I may "Seem" altruistic. It's unfortunate as common ground us the best way to reach people but it now being weaponized. "Trump is bad but atleast he's not Biden, who is supporting the genocide in Gaza!!" Like Trump wouldn't be doing the same shit, like come on..

Yup, yup. Really sick of having to defend a fact that a color is red, because someone else calls it magenta and now I have to go back and explain color theory and try to have an airtight persuasive argument to 'win' for something as obvious as a color... Or Trump...

It's all apart of the plan, muddy the water, cause static, tire people out. I seen some mega bullshit bait posts of late on Lemmy of late (foreign bride stuff?). It's best to downvote move on and not write 9 paragraphs but just say look heres the article sum in 2 sentences and move on. So atleast if someone follows the conversation they can say "we'll here's proof so I won't bite on the troll bait".
