      Do you know how theory works?

      You have to prove a theory true before you can say it’s a fact.

      Saying it’s a fact is misinformation.

      Like saying “Biden started the genocide in Palestine”. Might make you feel popular in your echochamber, but reality is at odds with the statement.

        I sure as hell know how gaslighting works.

        I get that you’re just happy to pretend that anyone to your left is a Trumpist because it gives you an excuse to dismiss anything you don’t like.

        You have to prove a theory true before you can say it’s a fact.

        Saying it’s a fact is misinformation.

        Ain’t a whole lotta room for “jeepers, it’s totally only a theory” here:

        also because most of the terminally online far left agree with the far right. which is why most of them are transphobic and anti-immigrant af.

        Which is straight up libeling an entire movement. There is NOTHING that says most leftists are transphobic or anti-immigrant. Not a goddamned thing. That’s not a ThEoRy, it’s a fucking lie.

        Like saying “Biden started the genocide in Palestine”.

        Which I’ve never said. I’ve said that he supports Netanyahu’s genocide. But hey, you’re not above some libel. You can just call it a theory after the fact.
