but not by explaining *how* the research agrees with them, its just a sigh and "do basic education and obviously you will agree with what everybody who does basic education already agrees with" even though this is often not true.

Though I think there are two uses for "do your own research". One of them is people not having the actual research and thus you get the condescending defensive attack from it. The other is when someone wants to challenge something you have evidenced...

Well, research is often not conclusive either unless you're talking about matters of established science. People often have bias whether or not they are good evidence to support their claims. I can understand being annoyed at not having a debate, but it's also a lot of work too

It's incredibly arrogant and always comes from those with least reason to be arrogant about anything in my experience

It's not saying that. It's saying: I'm not responsable for your education. You'll either get there or you don't. However, I prefer silence

You're right, but clearly certain topics are too complex to be discussed over social media - which is why some people will choose against diving into debate. It's just futile.

ok but i think, at that point, you just accept that you just arent willing to have the conversation. Dismissing it with a "educate yourself" or "do your own research" with the expectation that coming around to your viewpoint is the only possible outcome is ridiculous.

It's worse, all the research that doesn't adhere to their conclusions is to be dismissed and it's your job to sort it out and proof them right.
