Confusion of issues

I am a non-conformist living in the most conformist era in history. One form of conformity is binary political conformity. If you agree with A, you must agree with B and disagree with C. If you disagree with A, you must disagree with B and agree with C. If A, B, and C are all different, then why do we treat them as connected.

As an example, I read an article where the Associated Press claimed that there was a consensus that the wildfires of 2020 were driven by climate change. The consensus mentioned was clearly a reference to the consensus that mankind is impacting the climate. It's irresponsible to apply that to wildfires at a given time. In fact, the scientific community has made it very clear that they are not relying on a snapshot of time. Simply put, there's absolutely no way that there is a scientific consensus that wildfires at a given time establish long-term trends.

I made the mistake of calling out the Associated Press's deceit. Someone criticized me on the grounds that 97% of the scientific community agrees that climate change is influenced by mankind. That actually matches the point that I was making.

In another case, someone called another person on Twitter stupid for complaining that an article from Sinclair-owned Komo showed liberal bias. I pointed out that the article was from the liberal Associated Press rather than the conservative Sinclair. He responded with a quote that insisted I viewed Trump as my "beacon of truth." When I mentioned that he changed the subject, he blocked me.

I have already scaled back coming to the defense of others. If you say one thing, people make an assumption that is vastly different. How do they get away with it? Because, unfortunately, these assumptions are overwhelmingly correct.

A lot of this is similar to the Antifa argument. Antifa is short for anti-fascist. People think that if you are against people who refer to themselves as anti-fascists, that means you support fascism. This is simply not true. Similarly, you can be for education and against our so-called educational system. You can believe in progress and against the unrelated progressivism.

As I have already stated, I don't like to write. I have things to say, and writing is sometimes necessary to say it. To deal with the writing process, I cut corners. I don't waste my time explicitly stating what thoughts I don't have. This is where these assumptions create a lot of problems.
