Yes its implied, evidenced by the people down voting you. Thats how rhetoric works. Same message, different delivery.

No, I implied nothing. The other person went out of their way to assuage people that just because they were calling out misinformation didn't mean they're not on their side - I just stated facts without making any indication about what I thought of OP's intent. Loyalty and tribalism come before truth. People posting false information have to be reassured that you think they're great before you correct them. It's ridiculous.

Okay I disagree.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, there's nothing you can point to in what I wrote that implies anything about intent so I'd say your disagreement is pretty objectively wrong.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works -1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you dont know what objective means.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If you just say "I disagree" while having absolutely no grounds for that disagreement then you're objectively wrong.

I think you're asserting something with no basis again, making you objectively wrong about that too lmao.

Well as long as you are getting something out of this then thats a win in my books.
