Being right or wrong, righteous or foolish, constructive or destructive, is not about which “side” you are on; it’s about being relentlessly committed to the truth. I believe it’s proven clear that the Left is fundamentally anti-truth. But just cuz you don’t like them Lefties doesn’t then mean you are now automatically on the side of the truth. Eschewing falsehoods requires discernment, skepticism, reason, rationality, humility and at least some willingness and capacity for independent research and verification… and not knee-jerk emotionalism and desperate gullibility.
Humor and jokes are not precluded by a commitment to the truth; the fact is they are funny precisely because they are based in the truth. In contrast, there is nothing illuminating or constructive (or even fun) about perpetuating dumb falsehoods.
Based on the comments a lot of suckers will blindly swallow what anyone posts around here. We have our own NPCs and not enough people realize it.
Sigh. Yes. That’s the sad, but plain, truth.
