      Which pretty much sums up a core aspect of the current problem: namely, that one side frequently considers using citations "cheating".

      An argument I've had: Them: You sound like you're just reading talking points from [newspaper]! Me: Yes? Because THAT'S WHERE THE FACTS ARE.

      But they don't want facts. They want RHETORIC, but of a very specific, non-factual kind. They want to FEEL persuaded, not to reason it out.

      At the same time, there's a conservative subset that, through a mix of malice, ignorance & sheer stubbornness, can't evaluate sources.

      I'm not saying the left never muddles, fudges or fucks up its sources; clearly, that happens. But at the same time: https://gizmodo.com/facebooks-fight-against-fake-news-was-undercut-by-fear-1788808204 …

      Which is why so many FB fights abt recent politics get SO FRUSTRATING: you're debating people asking an impossible burden of proof -

      - not because your arguments can't be sourced, but because they won't accept your sources & can't distinguish the borked ones of their own.

      But when someone from their side crosses the floor and agrees with the left - like, at present, Glenn Beck? Doesn't count. He's a traitor.

      And so the burden of restating existing arguments that have already been proven, sourced & summarised elsewhere is put on non-rhetoricians.

      Which is setting most people up to fail, not because they're wrong, but because they've been denied the necessary tools to make that clear.

      In conclusion, I am really fucking sick of false equivalences, confirmation bias, wilful ignorance and hypocrisy dominating politics. FIN.

          It's like arguing religious doctrine with very devoted believers, and all you can offer is the opinion of heretics & apostates
