          We are in a political climate where anything is believable. Like the idiots who think Biden shat his pants in France… when it clearly looked, to me at least, like he was hesitating to sit down (he wasn’t supposed to sit down in the first place).

            We also live in a world where Deepfakes exist. You’ll just accuse any evidence of being fake and keep moving the goalposts.

              I don’t trust chit from the media. I would even say, I don’t trust it unless I see it with my own eyes and hear it with my own ears… but now that AI is around.

                So asking for evidence is pointless. You’re still not seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears because it could have been faked.

                Asking people for proof when you will not believe anything they could possibly provide (short of bringing you a time machine to see it for yourself) is entirely disingenuous.

                  So we’re gonna pretend like false allegations don’t exist? I’d think by now people would wisen up. How many false allegations have we witnessed? How many lives ruined because of accusations? Families destroyed? Men imprisoned over lies?

                  I try to be careful about what I accept as fact.

                    You’ve still not actually stated what you would accept as a fact that would be reasonable for someone to actually provide.
