I like how I use sources when stating things but you just state things are factually incorrect without any references. How about you try backing up your statements else you're just spreading disinformation.
- verisimi 3y agoPerhaps, if the information is not something you have verified it could be false. Governments and media do lie. If that is the case here, by providing sources, it is you spreading misinformation. The other person is merely giving am opinion. Myself, I am trying to establish the truth of the matter - I don't accept so-called authoritative sources when they are proven liars. The only way I know of to satisfy myself off the truth is to verify it personally. Involving myself in these narratives, is like acting upon (convincing) hearsay or gossip. It's simply not part of my life. I won't call for harm to people I do not know on account of a story that could be a lie.
- canadiantim 3y agoThat’s fair and I think you’re wise to only try to verify information yourself, but atleast by providing sources I am giving you more information you can digest to make your assessment. More information is better than less information even if its bad information (since as you say, you’re assessing the quality of the source anyway). So I think it’s still fair to say that it’s better to provide possible sources or support for a statement than not.
- verisimi 3y agoFair enough! Cheers - all the best.
