Free Thinker 

A philosophical viewpoint that opinions or beliefs of reality should be based on science, logic and reason. Ideas should not be derived from religion, authority, governments or dogmas.
A free thinker should not reject nor accept any proposed truths of organized religion, established norms, media, etc. They should determine if the belief is valid based on their own knowledge, intuition, research and reason. Just because other people believe in it, doesn't mean it's right! Use your own judgment and think critically!

Free Thinker 

Someone who thinks that they have "unique" or "interesting" opinions, while in reality simply regurgitating whatever they hear from others. Peolple who call themselves this typically have very little critical thinking skills and fail to actually challenge their own beleifs because they live in an echo chamber of "SJW OWNED" and other denominations of cringe surface level right wing commentary. The name is actually a misknowmer because they should be more accuratly called people who are "Free of thinking".

free thinker 

A word meaning someone who doesn't necessarily base their opinions on any particular creed or system of ideas, but based on their own intuition and perception of reality.

free thinker

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
