Except for when it's very obviously bullshit, like the number of vatniks who insisted that the russians weren't going to invade Ukraine, or that insisted the russians hadn't invaded Ukraine even after tanks were halfway to Kyiv.

The fact is, there are many bullshitters, and their bullshit isn't up for interpretation as you suggest.

Even in that case, the people posting those statements probably believed that at the time.

Really? You think the foreign minister of the russian federation — the longest serving since the Tsarist era — doesn't know what's happening in his own country?

Obviously political appointees are going to be unreliable, I was more talking about the hordes of plebs on social media.

Where do you think they get their misinformation?
