Just as a precaution regarding Ian Miles Cheong since the opportunity came up... I tend to like what he tweets most of the time... But he has a tweet where he immediately dunked on Trump after the midterms and other tweets in the past that felt off. He used to work for Jeremy of theQuartering (on Youtube) and Jeremy made videos to warn people about Ian. He basically said Ian used to be on the SJW side before he "awakened", has never set foot in the US but presents himself as being in the US, and that everything Ian does is for clout and/or just to gaslight. I'm not slamming Ian's tweet above, but just wanted us to be mindful of who the messenger is.
I don't care who the messenger is anymore, unless they're running for office. It's all about the message for me. Might as well black out the name of the messenger.
Agreed. There are so many people playing so many roles, I don't give a crap anymore.
I base every evaluation of information on proof and corroboration - the source does not matter to me at this point. I try my best to apply the same rules of verification to both information that I want to be true and information that I dislike.
Knowledge is power - but only if it is true. Falling for propaganda hurts you.
Yeah, I share that sentiment. It's more a precaution to not trust a message simply because it comes from a certain messenger that you may trust (e.g., just because this message from this messenger speaks truth doesn't mean you should assume his next message speaks truth). But as long as you verify/focus on the truth of the message itself and not the messenger, you'll be fine.
