    Yes its implied, evidenced by the people down voting you. Thats how rhetoric works. Same message, different delivery.

      No, I implied nothing. The other person went out of their way to assuage people that just because they were calling out misinformation didn’t mean they’re not on their side - I just stated facts without making any indication about what I thought of OP’s intent. Loyalty and tribalism come before truth. People posting false information have to be reassured that you think they’re great before you correct them. It’s ridiculous.

          Well, there’s nothing you can point to in what I wrote that implies anything about intent so I’d say your disagreement is pretty objectively wrong.

              If you just say “I disagree” while having absolutely no grounds for that disagreement then you’re objectively wrong.

                  I think you’re asserting something with no basis again, making you objectively wrong about that too lmao.
