No. I also said that it need to be the right kind of critical thinking. I didn't say no critical thinking
What's the wrong kind of critical thinking? 'I did my own research'?
It's when you have an agenda or only are critical towards opinions that don't suit your situation or opinions
I think we've seen plenty of that recently
I wouldn't consider those examples to meet the definition of 'critical thinking,' from what I understand it to be. In fact, they're kind of the exact opposite.
I would interpret those examples as just being "critical" or biased towards something.
Ya that is being Critical without the Thinking
The issue is, where to draw the line and who shpuld do it. Most people who believe in conspiracies, consider themselves critical thinkers
Those people are incorrect.
Should i just accept this or maybe be critical of your opinion? /s
Being critical of someones opinion ≠ critical thinking

You are just being contrarian, not critically thinking. Big difference.
