I don’t know. I’ve heard leftists (mostly communists) espouse that fighting fire with fire and just outright lying at the same level they do would be beneficial to the cause, but that just feels wrong to me and I feel like it wouldn’t work anyways for some reason.
We're not NEARLY as good at lying. We have analytical thinking and want to understand the why's. They were generally raised in the church and want to get to the answer regardless of anything necessary to get to an answer.
Yeah that’s how it feels to me too.
