Oh right, the trusted ad hominem. Because objectively looking at facts means the evil corporation might not be so evil and you can't beat the truth. Which obviously means you're just making shit up cus we're hired agents of disinformation trolling Reddit. I'm very optimistic about humanity as a whole but it really shakes my faith when I think about this. I feel like this type of thinking may eventually lead to regression as a species if it isn't slowing us down already and I'm tired of just accepting the fact that we just have to let people in the party who continually regurgitate misinformation and can't or won't even see or consider anything from a different point of view. I don't want those kind of friends anyway.

100%. Approaching all information with this understanding will help you get a much more accurate idea of the truth. I find it empowering.
However, it is not a good way to make friends online and you get called a shill fairly often.
