Fact Check

 “What do you think of those Fact Check posts you see littering the internet nowadays from that Fact Check crowd, wherever they sprung up from?”
“They’re doing great work for the kingdom of reality.”
“You don’t think they might be a disingenuous bunch of arseholes?”
“No, they’re completely objective, and only interested in furthering knowledge.”
“How come you have so much faith in them?”
“Because I fact checked them, and that’s what I found out.”
“And what’s their motivation?”
“They’re just ordinary people who are policing reality so that we don’t end up accidentally believing things to be facts that aren’t.”
“But why do they give a shit?!”
“That’s just the kind of people they are. And it’s also their hobby - they love checking facts.”
“Have they any particular interest in us believing or not believing in certain kinds of facts.”
“No, no, just all kinds of facts.”
“So there’s no agenda?”
“No, there’s no agenda.”
