This tool approves of using fake facts to form public opinion.

Fake facts like Joe Biden won the election?

Facts are not the friends of the right. The people who really control the Republican Party are the oligarchs who have the money.
The real goal of the party is low taxes on the rich.
If this became plain to the general populace we would reform our system of government to get the money out of politics.
You're all slaves.
For you on the right: facts are not your friends

I find the opposite to be true. Even the most articulate lefties here in their arguments tend to skip right by any facts and jump immediately to their conclusions. In fact, right there in your post you do just that in a string of factless conclusions--see how easy it is to provide evidence?

And counterfactuals: We all know since the election of Biden which side big banks, big tech, big media are on, and it's not the right.

And we are all far to familiar with that stringing together of self-righteous conclusion leading to shaming and moralizing, as in "You're all slaves."

Well, one thing slideman's good at is name calling.

When stringing self-righteous conclusions together for the purpose of shaming and moralizing fails, frustration resorts to calling names. Works every time. Not.

Are fact checkers going to shift into checking facts or just keep pushing an agenda with falsehoods?

Except that you are coming for the kids, you even demonstrate this in the above post.

He constantly bemoans "right-wing propaganda", while simultaneously hitting on left-wing talking points in the same breath.

And he sounds an awful lot like a perma-banned poster.
