People accusing others of lying all the time is a major problem in current societal discourse.

It’s not a lie if the speaker believes it to be true; it’s just a mistake. A lie must have the intention to mislead behind it.

I don’t dispute that there is a lot of, perhaps way more, lying going on, especially in politics now, but let’s not both inflame opinions and cheapen the word ‘lie’ by just using it for non-deliberate falsehoods.
