    An opinion that is just a factually wrong idea isn’t an opinion, it’s just a false belief that something is true

    Actual untruths should be removed by mods, they only serve to trick the uninformed into believing false shit. Down votes mean very little, many times someone who’s 100% factually right gets down voted because the community just doesn’t like what was said

      Yeah but I’d rather not have the mods remove anything - it’s the ol’ “how do we fact check the fact checkers” conundrum.

      One instance of an object or subject, can be viewed completely differently relative to your position in space and time. The observations of how something is functioning can be completely different from one observer to another, yet they can both be correct at the same time.

      So how exactly do you tell the truths from the untruths without proving intentional manipulation in the first place?
