I find that truth is relative to different people, but facts are undeniable and should be where logical decisions are based on.

This is literally what I've been dealing with recently. It's insane. Liberals and Conservatives are equally to blame.
Both sides are wrong. The centrist are also wrong. Only my conciousness is real, and y'all are part of my imagination. I'm the sole arbitrator of the truth. 🤓
Btw, Earth is a TARDIS
This is true, but it's for me, actually.
Oo bad news for both of you …
You thought i knew how to pilot you're thing LMAO! _ ...pulls random lever_
It helps to think yourself. At least you can make more consistent arguments. But also, yeah, our world is sometimes complicated. Understanding everything isn't feasible.
You also need a third, unbiased source, then cross-reference the information gathered from all sides and build a reasonable conclusion.
But if that's too much work, then join the side that benefits you. After all...
"The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.
~ Genghis Khan"
~ random internet person
Or the abridged version:
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women."
~ Conan the Barbarian, as copy-pasted from random website
Where can i find a third unbiased source? All the news sites i've seen have some kind of slant
There is literally no such thing as an unbiased source of information. Anyone who tells you otherwise just wants you to switch off your critical thinking when it comes to the sources they say are unbiased, whether they know it or not.
Oh you'll find all the different slants on Ground News!
I hate this vehemently but you’re getting an upvote
I'm immune to propaganda because I consume all of it. Can't taste anything when everything is blended together.
Wait until the "enlightened centrists" weigh in. Both sides are wrong, it's a global conspiracy is created by the Illuminati.
"Enlightened" centrists are just extreme contrarians.
I find they're usually just cowards afraid to stand both feet on anything, and/or self-aware of their ignorance so they give the "both-sides" spiel because it sounds pithy and intelligent.

Shpheal is a Pokémon.
nuh uh
Or if the first side is objectively right, an infinite percentage more misinformation.
