I guess to be fair I was never really a stickler for any particular method; I’m just a lot more open to a lot of them.

    CONTEXT MATTERS

    You mean like the fact that they’re a fascist and deliberately speaking in half-truths to create a distorted narrative?

    For instance, suppose I told you that this quote was written decades ago and predicted the current Trump administration:

    CW: quote from fascist

    In economics he undermines the states until the social enterprises which have become unprofitable are taken from the state and subjected to his financial control.

    I wouldn’t actually do that though, because this is a cherry-picked excerpt from Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Context like the fact that it was literally Adolf Hitler saying something antisemitic matters.
