"Factivism" is fine as long as you use the "true" facts and not skewed facts. As we all know, the "facts" can be twisted and manipulated into whatever you want them to say. Just look at our current administration, they are the masters at skewing the facts, and a lot of people buy them hook, line and sinker.
What's a true fact? What you believe in? Or what you support? Or what's supported by other research? It's easy to complain, and very hard to actually put up a fact that isn't easily disputed to some extent by whoever disagrees.
I'm not defending this, or any other administration, or even activist's view. What I want is the data behind any facts or quotes being available. I'd like people to take contrarian views and debate and discuss the particular situation.
