    Friend, nobody seeing or commenting on a pro-union post is a caviar-munching degenerate. While I know social media is prone to bias and misinformation by nature, that doesn’t necessarily mean everything is a lie. Can we not find factual information just because we happen to be on a website with commentary?

      Every single post/comment here should be seen as if from an unreliable narrator.

              Corroborate threads from multiple, non-including non-approaching sources from different globe- regions, ideally from different time periods. Seek peer reviewed, transparently funded sources.

              If there’s an opinion to be formed, seek it out yourself.

              If someone anonymous tells you something, they had a reason to do so. Hold them in high suspicion, they spent their time on you. No one works for free.

              Trust experts, but diversify sourcing as above.

              Ultimately, everything I just said is a lie.
