Refusal to engage with information I’ve provided and putting straw man words in my mouth doesn’t make you a serious person. Disinformation is a frame. The fact that some people consider it to be an objective category of information is dangerous.

I directly engaged and refuted everything you said. You can keep repeating what you want to be true over and over, it won't make it so.

That's the point. You cannot will reality to fit your worldview.

It doesn't work that way.

Yes, information cannot be verified as true or false. No one can know anything for sure, because then your feelings and opinions can become facts without having pesky things like evidence or proof.

Why let a small thing like the truth get in the way of a good story? Especially one you've invested so much time into, maybe even a good chunk of your identity as well.

Given all that, I might as well be talking to a wall.
