I think you should read the article, I'm talking in relation to it, and children is absolutly a terrible analogy for what I'm talking about. I know its not the same thing. But I don't see how it matters to the article. The article is about how falsehoods and lies can cause fear and lead to chaos (amongst other things). Such as what happened in world war 2, where countries turned against each others and targeted Jews. In that sense, I don't think it matters, you believe Jews are responsible for all your problems and up to get you, so you go commit genocide against them. Does it matter if that idea was a lie or a falsehood? What if Hitler truly believed it? Okay, its a falsehood. So what? He just made a mistake? Everyone makes mistakes? That's my point. How could all this happen? Suddenly, a falsehood or a lie turned rogue, doesn't matter, but somehow everyone has these ideas, and the whole world starts to act irrationally. You're a politician, you need to validate your claims before claiming them. You should fact check, have a confidence ratio, justify yourself. You can't just go: "oh sorry, I guess it was false, I just didn't know" after you've already rallied, propagated and enacted laws and decree based on it. But it seems you're trying to claim that spreading falsehoods as a politician isn't as bad as spreading lies. Like if spreading falsehoods was okay. I don't think it is. It's just as bad, and can, and has, lead to great historical atrocities in the past.
