Remembering to look for and ignore folks with that telltale indicator has made the fediverse so much more enjoyable.

I feel like this is why we need to stick with primary sources whenever we are debating with liberals . Liberals don't trust any news source coming from Russia, China etc (which I'd actually say is a rational fear considering there education) but western news sources time and time again have been proven to lie and not base any of there arguments on the truth.

If we want to actually argue points to liberals or other people we need to use primary sources that can't be disbuted by saying "that's Chinese communist propaganda". Although that does represent another problem in that primary sources are usually harder to read, or are very long and most people probably aren't willing to read through it to verify it's authenticity themselves, which does create a vector for misinformation. Although I still think it's better than secondary sources that liberals will just deny.
