Yeah but people don't use it correctly though. Like with throwing political terms they don't understand as an insult, they'll scream dishonesty from a disagreement.
I don’t necessarily distrust people, but too many people uses their own opinions as a basis for right and wrong, and do everything they can to position themselves as the good person.

No, I think there are some clear acts that are immoral - unprovoked, intentional murder, for one. Yet other acts are murky and hard to ascribe morality to.
However, trying to attain the position of 'the good guy' in all situations, never taking an opinion that is outside of what an pure idealist would believe is something done by the insecure who are seeking validation - or a manipulator of the highest degree - just my take, no proof really.
People throwing political terms as an insult is weapon of choice for faux intellectuals (and extreme adherents to certain political philosophies ofc).
Without going into anything personal, I have had to learn to trust that people aren't operating in bad faith, but my first instinct is to think that the majority are, and that they only want to win rather than convince others. I have, however, come to learn that some people really are that idealistic...
