If faced with critical thinking, people tend to disregard what you’re trying to say and push back to their outlook.

    Seriously, that title is worded like a straight up attack. Such a question, while open ended in who would consider what truth, still leads to the same outcome: engagement based purely on outrage and “proving the other side wrong.”

    I sometimes wonder if people post things like this with the intention of filtering through comments to block people that post their political viewpoints in response. If thats the case, I would conssider this a very effective and intelligent post. However, I don’t think that this is the case.

      My goodness that sounds like a lot of work lol.

      “Can’t handle the truth” = I’m gonna write you off as a whole person and call you weak and stupid because we disagree.
