    The interesting thing about reading from different bubbles to get the different perspectives on the same event is just how different the set of events covered is.

    The right may be furious about something and the left barely cover it and vice versa, it needs to be a huge event to attract comment from both sides.

    This is literally what I’ve been dealing with recently. It’s insane. Liberals and Conservatives are equally to blame.

    I find that truth is relative to different people, but facts are undeniable and should be where logical decisions are based on.

    It helps to think yourself. At least you can make more consistent arguments. But also, yeah, our world is sometimes complicated. Understanding everything isn’t feasible.

    I’m immune to propaganda because I consume all of it. Can’t taste anything when everything is blended together.

    Or if the first side is objectively right, an infinite percentage more misinformation.

    You also need a third, unbiased source, then cross-reference the information gathered from all sides and build a reasonable conclusion.

    But if that’s too much work, then join the side that benefits you. After all…

    "The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.

    ~ Genghis Khan"

    ~ random internet person

    Or the abridged version:

    “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

    ~ Conan the Barbarian, as copy-pasted from random website

        There is literally no such thing as an unbiased source of information. Anyone who tells you otherwise just wants you to switch off your critical thinking when it comes to the sources they say are unbiased, whether they know it or not.

    Wait until the “enlightened centrists” weigh in. Both sides are wrong, it’s a global conspiracy is created by the Illuminati.
