Precisely my point. Source is the very first thing I look for when a quote is posted. If there's no source posted, I try going to the tweet in question etc. Why? Because I've actually shared things like this from here that everyone was upvoting, got pinned etc just to have my semi-progressive partner look it up and proving to me it is fake. That was embarrassing and didn't happen just once. Now I've learned my lesson. I'm certain that I'm not the only one on here who's experienced this. It is so so crucial to do our due diligence. How can we be digital warriors who fight for the truth if we don't care about the truth? Confirmation bias is NOT just a woke or normie issue, it concerns us all.

Same has happened to me. It really sucks when you share it with someone you've spent real time on and who was starting to come around.
