    I’ve never hear the phrase “reality has a leftist bias”. in which contexts is it usually applied?

      Generally whenever conservatives claim something that goes against reality.

      Examples include: “COVID is a hoax!” “Obama’s birth certificate is invalid” “Trump did nothing wrong” “The earth is flat!”

      Then someone comes around telling them that they are in fact wrong. For some reason, it’s always the leftists telling the conservatives they are wrong, because for some reason, conservatism is a ideology based on the idea that if you tell the same lie over and over, it eventually becomes truth - to other conservatives.

      A common one recently is in response to the assertion that chatGPT and similar LLMs have a leftist bias, when the reality is that they’re just regurgitating the data they’ve been fed.

      One example I particularly remember was someone asking chatGPT what it thought of trump, which it responded to with a list of things Trump lied about or fucked up. Never mind that it was all accurate, it “clearly” showed that it has a left bias lol

      It’s actually untrue. Consensus reality is a social construct created by the white supremacist state. Science and truth are left wing, but reality is right wing, because reality is incompatible with science and truth. Reality is what the white colonisers brought to Australia and the new world along with god and capitalism.
