    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.

    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

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

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