This may sound like semantics, but what if your light bulb is affecting the colour of the curtain as well and, in reality, the curtain is actually beige? A bit of yellow and a bit of white? The actual physics would still be valid (for both sides) but that way, even the other side seems to suffer from belief perseverance, propped up by own belief in actual science?
The color of the curtain is white. The color of the candle-light is yellow.

John Pilger - this is a war of propaganda and almost nothing in the western press is to be trusted. I have covered seven, eight, perhaps nine shooting wars. I have never seen coverage so utterly consumed by a tsunami of jingoism, and of manipulative jingoism as this one.
Yeah Pilger, who claimed there was "no evidence" to suggest Russia would invade and called such warnings "raw propaganda by the western press", wants us to believe that nobody except himself can be trusted.

Yet in reality almost everything he says is BS and he is constantly and verifiably wrong while the "western press" is constantly right.

He even admits in interviews that he "doesn't have time" to verify the news and instead dismisses everything he doesn't have time to verify as "propaganda".

The only jingoist here is Pilger himself and at this stage his cherrypicked knowledge of events is based purely on his hatred of the US. Maybe if he went to Ukraine instead of swallowing Russian propaganda whole, he would gain some knowledge and start making sense. Unfortunately it seems he is too old and is loosing his grasp on reality, much like Noam "US censorship is worse than Soviet censorship" Chomsky.

Putin's remarks in that video last about 90 seconds...It's the remaning 11 minutes of the video, where your favorite ex-real realtor talks nonsense, is the part that needs fact-checking.

even that is completely BS according to you, it doesn't need to be "fact-check" it is because that is their own opinions. they have their rights to express themselves, that is called "freedom of speech".

do you understand that "opinion" is not "fact"?

you think that is BS but it doesn't imply that is BS to me.
leftist, understand?

you guys talked so much BS, did I ever ask you guys to "fact check"?

Sure..

The colour of the curtain is whatever the light source is (candles, globes, fire...). No one really knows, unless seen in natural light.

And nobody is prepared to open the windows..

Shining a green light on a white curtain doesn't change the color of the curtain. Neither does a blue light. The curtain is still white.

If you want to post videos of people lying about actual events, don't expect everyone to buy the "It's just their opinion" excuse.

They are welcome to say it, and we have every right to call it out for the nonsense it is. And if you insist on uncritically reposting it, don't hide behind "Don't shoot the messenger", especially when that youtube channel is something you regularly post here.

Perhaps if you actually engaged with people about things they post that you disagree with, you might actually understand the evidence behind why they post what they do.

leftists hate "freedom of speech / expression". at least if I don't agree with you, I won't say anything you said is "fake". I also won't say what biden / dems / zelensky said is "fake". but you guys will say putin / trump said is "fake". anything that is not within your narratives that is "fake". :sick:

No. The color of the curtain is that little ISO color code sticker attached to the packaging wheb you buy it. Candles don't change that. Your perspective on deciding what the color is does not change. ISO standards do not conform to whatever you decide.

Just ask the Putin fans or even Putin himself. They too see the facts as being whatever they decide them to be, filtered through their yellow candle light.
