Now hold the bus there, now I just specifically said my “ideology” is based on fact checking myself. Taking what someone else tells you as a fact check is not fact checking and should be called what it is.
Why would someone want you too accept what they say as fact and not look for yourself? Because that have an ideology to push.
Yes, your ideology doesn't work, because essentially you don't have the time to fact-check anything that way.
Have you really checked that the Earth is round? Go debate a flat-earther and see how far personal fact-checking gets you.
Because my ideology relies on verification of facts it doesn’t work? That doesn’t make sense.
I’ve debated flat earthers and simply because my ideology doesn’t sway someone is not proof it doesn’t work.
Being muddled enough to not even read fact-check sites because you're so paranoid about ideological bias, is a nonsensical point of view.
Why were you even arguing with a flat-earther when you haven't checked the fact? That is what they were saying wasn't it? All that dismissing fact-check sites offhand does, is helps you to believe obvious bullshit whenever it suits your worldview.
Have you really fact-checked that water changes phase at 32 degrees? Even that requires trusting the expertise of others, and their ideological biases.
