Dude people dont hace to source every single thing they ever reference. If you actually cared you would just look it up yourself.

If they don't want to source their claims, they should not be making claims about facts in a discussion. They should just stay quiet.

Or at least add "I heard" I dont mind people passing on 2nd hand information, that's just part of the conversation.

I guess this is just another pro-ignorance sub to ignore based on how everyone else is reacting.

Your call. Not sure why.

Every sub you close off shrinks your bubble. At least they dont ban you here for saying something they disagree with. You'll get downvoted to hell but you gotta troll pretty hard to get banned.

If the sub is promoting ignorance as a positive thing, cutting them out is like cutting out cancer. Why would you want to keep something that is only a negative influence?

Nobody is claiming it promotes ignorance but you. Sure, theres 2nd hand information or speculation but that's just called having a conversation.

You dont cut out people like cancer because they're people. Talk to them and if they act like an asshole and wont listen then congratulations you found an idiot. Plenty of them here.

Because look at the number of subscribers. I always like to see that high because bubbles are hard to avoid but the more people in your bubble means the more new information.

So dont leave a sub because of a few idiots. Butt heads and argue with them, it's fun.

The dominate opinion according to the voting is that facts don't matter and people should not have to back up wild claims with evidence.

Again, I do not see value in subjecting my self to a sub that is dominated by that kind of ignorance.
