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

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Those people are incorrect.

Should i just accept this or maybe be critical of your opinion? /s

Being critical of someones opinion ≠ critical thinking

Critical thinking is the process of analyzing available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to make sound conclusions or informed choices. It involves recognizing underlying assumptions, providing justifications for ideas and actions, evaluating these justifications through comparisons with varying perspectives, and assessing their rationality and potential consequences. The goal of critical thinking is to form a judgment through the application of rational, skeptical, and unbiased analyses and evaluation.

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