Propaganda. Trolling. Telling people the standard for tipping is 20%. Lying with conviction.

  Propaganda is just a politics to promote certain narratives. Often full of lies. Trolling is mockery. 20% a standard for tipping? For who? Lying is alaways for conviction.

    > Propaganda is just a politics to promote certain narratives. Often full of lies. Trolling is mockery. Maybe? Idk. > Lying is alaways for conviction. Do you mean "lies are always said to convince someone"? Because that's not the same as what I interpreted the parents example to mean. And it'd argue it's not even correct. Lies are often just to spread uncertainty and confusion, fully aware that they're not going to convince people of the lie's validity.

      But do you trust someone you've found out is lying or says something you found out its not entirely true?
      • ffsm8 2y ago
        Literally everybody that ever existed has told things that weren't entirely true. Wherever its an exaggeration, misunderstanding or just something they misremembered, all of these will have occurred to everyone multiple times throughout their lives. By this truth, you cannot trust anyone. Which might be true - but definitely isn't healthy either. (It's also entirely unrelated to what I interpreted your argument to be, previously)

          I agree that it is human to be wrong. Intentionally or not. Which leds me to conclusion that so called disinformation is often just labeling of opposite opinions by vague terminology. If someone believe to lies, I would ask, where the trust is coming from?
