Civilization and society is based on a foundation of trust. Lies are a violation of that trust, and thus each is an attack, however small, on that foundation.

Civilization and society is based on a foundation of trust. Lies are a violation of that trust, and thus each is an attack, however small, on that foundation.
Did you not see the effect of lies on the pandemic or this most recent US election?
- the-dude 5y agoWas Biden's election based on lies? Do you have sources?
- DonHopkins 5y agoI think he was referring to Trump's re-election. Edit: When somebody who proudly proclaims that "I lie occasionally. Sometimes enjoy it too." denies knowing about something so widely covered in the international news, believe them when they say they enjoy lying. the-dude: You have google and wikipedia. Look it up. No more excuses for ignorance and whitewashes for liars and blame for believers.
- the-dude 5y agoI think this is over my head ( EU citizen who avoids most mainstream news ). @Don : first, editting your comment is in no way the proper etiquette to discuss. Second, I looked it up, and apparently you are referring to this re-election campaign. Seriously, I didn't know about it. Ignorance is bliss.
- redis_mlc 5y agoThe US left pushed a narrative to assassinate the character and deplatform a sitting President in a federal election, while suppressing information about a candidate's family being involved in graft with a rival state, and the candidate being senile and hiding in his basement.
- DonHopkins 5y agoI'm referring to his campaign of Big Lies that he was re-elected in 2020, but Biden stole the election from him. If you missed noticing that, you didn't look it up very well, and you're not being sincere. There's really no point in taking seriously or continuing a discussion with somebody who brags he enjoys lying, and cultivates blissful ignorance. If your blissful ignorance is really sincere, then you don't have much to contribute to the conversation.
- the-dude 5y agoI do know Trump contested the election results, but I couldn't parse that from your Trump's re-election. I guess it hasn't been magnified as much here in the EU as in the US, and I don't particular mind much of the mainstream media. For me, Biden won in November and Trump apparently had a hard time accepting it. Big deal. Ignorance is bliss : practically, keeping up with the news doesn't really do much for anybody.
- DonHopkins 5y agoLying because you enjoy it doesn't really do much for anybody either.
