    I really don’t understand this… To me they seem like someone who believes all media can’t be trusted and is telling lies, now responding to idk what, likely a post about Israel lying. Just venting their belief that all media can’t be trusted. Doesn’t seem to me to be defending either lies or taking a particular side, or even engaging with the topic at all very much, in fact I could believe they saying this to literally any topic where “media has lied/news are fake”.

    • They’ll all acknowledge that both sides politically bad, but at the end of the day, they’re leaning on one side of the political fence or another, regardless if it isn’t in the mainstream political binary as of now, because the same person would most likely use this response on mostly one side, while “coincidentally” sharing most of their political views on the other opposing side

      In short, liberal ‘neutrality’ self-superiority and political equivocation…

        I don’t think self-superiority is a feature of being liberal or anything, I see plenty of that everywhere, also here. That’s just a human thing.

        And yeah, I guess I understand that people do have a political leaning and naturally try to argue that even covertly/unconsciously, however I really didn’t see it in this particular screenshot, that’s why I’m trying to figure out if I’m missing something.
