Actual “independent thinkers” don’t have to announce themselves as such.
Much of the time, the ones who do are either ideologues in disguise or self-satisfied contrarians who take way too long to come around (if they ever do) to sense after spending a long time wallowing in false equivalencies. If this site is clever, they’ll give the latter type (who also tend to be blind to their own privilege) a special “gold star” to make them feel good about giving both sides a fair shake before coming down on the side of historical facts or science or logic or basic human decency.
