    Goddamn, you really got yourself worked up there, and a shit take to boot. Most of the time that someone uses the phrase “facts don’t care about your feelings” those people are arguing in bad faith, cherry picking data and purposefully excluding context to cater to their desired conclusion. My go to example is the statistics of violent crime convictions by race. There are so many extraneous details to that statistic that you could never truly conclude anything based on that statistic alone. It fails to take into account the environmental conditions, social factors, economic factors, and biases in the justice system when you present that statistic at face value.

        Are you responding to the correct comment? I literally never said anything defensive… basically nothing you said applies to me or my comment, so it’s pretty clear you are engaging in some egregious projection there. Hopefully you figure your problems out.

        I mean, where did I specify right-wingers in my comment? I intentionally left it open because of course people of different opinions are capable of bad faith argument. Once again, you are projecting, and it’s making you look silly.
