Your sentiment is understandable.

Groupthink exists on both political sides. The question is, how can you ever be certain that the side the you are on is factually correct?

Do you truly believe that the "right side" is wrong about everything???

How would you know if you don't listen openly to their arguments?

I'm formerly left-leaning, but I've realized that choosing a side is not a wise decision if I'm interested in objective, and measurable facts.

Political discourse is predicated on misleading the public.

I understand your point but it's pretty easy to know your on the right side when the other side is stuff like 9/11 was Jewish conspracy, Vaccines cause autism, NASA says global warming isn't real, LGBT vegan communism is turning the frogs gay type stuff

Yes. It is.

How do you know?

I agree that many of those appear absurd, but have you thoroughly investigated each and come to this conclusion on your own?

Google is now using it's algorithms to censor an alarming volume of formerly available info.
If you look for info on the major search engines then you be inundated with propaganda.

If you were to decide to investigate any supposedly ridiculous claim, then I would strongly recommend asking the most credible source where to find info, so you can decide for yourself based on any available evidence.

The most receptive and open-minded source that I am aware of is JasonCarswell.
He is exceptionally open-minded and I consider him a reliable source of info; even though I disagree with him on a number of issues.

The only fact that you can always be certain of is: You don't know, what you don't know.

I do know however that 3 buildings collapsed into their own footprint on 9/11, and that one of them was never damaged by any aircraft..
This is obvious controlled demolition. Terrorists didn't do this, and it was never investigated as a crime.
Wouldn't you agree that this should be investigated as a crime?
