In calling us "truthers" while positioning yourselves in opposition to us, you are subliminally labeling yourselves "liars".
Who's in opposition? There's no "oppostition". You can't "oppose" a delusion or a fantasy. You can only "oppose" a solid proposition.
Since "truther" is not a real word in the english dictionary, we must look to its root word which is "truth".
OK, whatever.
The opposite of "truth" is "lie".
No the opposite of truth is not "lie". The opposite of truth is fiction. Truth is a noun, lie is a verb. That's like saying the opposite of tree is run.
Good lord, no wonder why explaining this simple stuff is so difficult.
I don't really know where you come off thinking you can only oppose a solid proposition. The main reasons for opposition are because each side believes the other to be delusional, wrong, false, fake, or deceptive. I oppose the OS because I think its a delusional fantasy. You are the opposition to the truthers, you oppose they're theories, beliefs, movement, etc. You consider us and our movement as being delusional and false. Likewise, we believe the same concerning you and the OS. The definition of "opposition" is "Resistance or dissent, expressed in action or argument". Resistence is defined as "a body of people united in opposing something". I'll let the definitions alone win the argument.
As previously stated, "lie" is also a noun as well as a synonym to "untruth", no need for me to go any further into that. I seriously question your intelligence, you are taught these things in middle school.

Kinda pathetic how the myth-huggers and shills attempt to make truth seekers sound insane by attaching a derogatory meaning to the word truth, but that's how the "FALSERS" roll.

Haha, good one! The try to radicalize us by calling us "people who want the truth", at the same time, they sort of shoot themselves in the foot through reverse implication.
