I normally wouldn't advocate for this style of deductive reasoning, but given how many people fail to pass the first post, I've lately been promoting the idea, "if you can't decide on an issue, look at the people who are promoting it." If it's the worst people in the world, choose the opposite.

Yep. Right wing fools are not known for their fact checking or their belief in being truthful.

People continuing to talk about what Arday may or may not have done in the face of THE ENTIRE UK PRESS harassing him into killing himself like his "lies" are remotely relevant in the face of a man being dead is fucking lunacy. "Was he lying" does not matter while the press walk free. 100 years jail.

Because he's a pure Aryan superman of course.

yeah true

Well, yeah, but also they always just look like the types of guys who never leave a basement.

for mother example if the mother constantly proves that she loves you, that's enough to trust her. Blind distrust is just blatant paranoia it doesn't make sense to treat someone who has never done anything wrong with the same severity compared to someone who constantly makes mistakes.

My point is that journalists (should) have incredibly strict standards for everyone. When you're dealing with someone like a white supremacist, those standards, or hurdles, should be orders of magnitude more strict. In other words, the failure here was mind-boggling. I was simply agreeing.

You misread these news articles as "proof" that Arday actually did everything he claimed to do & also didn't commit plagiarism. Re-read the articles with a healthier dose of "where's the evidence." Yes, Arday was brutalized by viciously gleeful racists. Yes, Arday was a "fantasist" & plagiarist.

I wish just nations existed. I miss when I used to be able to believe in the concept.

really hard to believe these larger media orgs are ignorant of any of this

this applies to at least one of my bosses

also: you should tell the white supremacist in question to bite a curb, just for good measure

He is related to this guy by the way

Totally, they're either lying or "every accusation is a confession"

The same UK media that will flip out about phantom antisemitism on the left will give infinite latitude to a literal Nazi.

I have a similar form of that idea that I sometimes use: If Hitler says that the sky is blue then that doesn't automatically mean that it isn't but you definitely need to stick your head out of the window to check before you believe it.
