General Discussion

The "I award you no points" one.

And it gets cloaked in "Just asking questions!" That makes it dumber. Because the Internet and media are saturated with information right now. Easily researched, highly visible, as thorough as it can be information. The "just asking questions!" stuff screams, "I have done no reading, have made no attempt to find answers, but I will still somehow form an opinion, make unfounded assertions, air out a lack of knowledge for some reason, and then get hostile if anyone points it out and rest on 'I have a right to an opinion!'."

Yeah, we have the right to remain silent, too. Wisdom is knowing how to choose between them.

Some of this stuff makes our side look terrible.

And I am honestly disheartened so much of it is being encouraged, allowed, or supported.

Remember when misinformation and disinformation were a bad thing? Reality-based community? Anyone? All done with that now?

This is just what the Internet and social media are doing to us now. When people close themselves off in a world where the concept of unacceptable facts exists, facts become unacceptable.
