A truth should exist, it should not be used like this. If I love you is that a fact or a weapon?

The speaker distinguishes between truth as something that simply is—an ethical, ontological reality—and truth as something wielded instrumentally. The line suggests that even declarations that sound purely factual (“I love you”) can be converted into leverage: a way to demand reciprocity, induce guilt, or control another person’s choices. By asking whether love is “a fact or a weapon,” the quote probes how intimacy can be corrupted by power dynamics, and how language that ought to clarify reality can instead be used to dominate it. The underlying moral claim is that truth and love lose their integrity when they are deployed as tactics rather than offered as honest, freely given statements.
