“Popular” doesn’t mean worthwhile. This is such a dumb argument; if fentanil is so bad for you, then how come so many people use it? If McDonald’s is such terrible quality food, then why do so many people eat it each day?
But you not liking something doesn’t make it unworthwhile.
Something not being rooted in objective facts does make it unworthwhile though. A personal opinion on a <<thing>> is irrelevant; factual information is relevant. The source that you keep insisting has value does not use objectively correct, verifiable, factual information. Since there’s no accurate information coming from the source, what, exactly, is the value proposition that it offers?
So, despite being entirely devoid of any factual information–and actually being deceptive–you like it because it validates your emotions? Is that correct?
Seems to me that I remember a certain conservative icon saying something about, “facts don’t care about your feelings”.

I’m one of them. Stop trying to force your opinions on me.
He’s just posting his opinion, you don’t have to read it.
Correct!

I like what trump is doing.

I didn’t write the article.
So, again: you’re posting this article because it validates your feelings, despite the article being devoid of any facts?
I saw an article. Read it. Posted it. It’s fucking Lemmy, dude. It’s not that deep or serious. Calm your tits.
