The issue too is that a lot of the time people never accept a source as good enough, and sometimes that's even because the source isn't actually good enough. Then there's the whole issue that comes out when two competing sources are presented.
Yup, because this sub is a cringe centrist-conservatiard sub, when I commented about people giving me just a single argument for a pro life position they just down voted my shit and said nothing, the Emily horseshoe theory ftw
And by reading them you find out 3 are blog entries, one is a thread of messages from Facebook and one is a whitepaper made by a medic without license.
I once asked someone for evidence that the capitol riot was perpetrated by undercover feds and they sent me a link to a blog post describing a Tucker Carlson segment based on a Revolver News article that cited an indictment - and after digging through all those layers to find the indictment, the "evidence" was the mention of an unindicted co-conspirator, which undercover feds aren't ever listed as (for obvious reasons)
The page won’t load for me on mobile for whatever reason but it’s infinitely funnier to just see the FES header and then nothing but grey for like 6 pages then their contact details
To be fair, I’ve been provided sources on occasion in arguments here. They’re not always particularly good ones, but an attempt at a source is still something
Yours is the same you know, just you concentrate your source-retards in californian universities and give them titles. Our source-retards are plain, honest retards.
My favorite thing over the last week or two is just posting factual information about abortions and when fetuses are viable etc. and see how fucking allergic to facts the debate has been.
This has been my experience. It seems to be an exercise in wasting the time of people you disagree with online. If someone truly cares, they would be more more informed and familiar with opposition arguments. If they just post "Source?" online its just a low effort passive aggressive discrediting tactic.
If an argument is based on something measurable and that measurement seems odd to me I will ask for a source for it and that is not in bad faith. I will either learn something or know that the claim is false.
Don't ask sources to a guy who spends every weekend saving crime statistics infograph from a private discord, you will just waste time explaining that genocide is bad.
Welp. Is there any place on reddit were left bad and right bad meme get equal upvotes? Or is literally every single forum here heavily biased one way or the other?
Based, truth is from my eyes first. And thus also, whatever sources agree with what I can see. Hence, I amalgamate them into knowledge, and can further judge sources by their coherence with this set.
There has ALWAYS been fake news. It's all about the credibility of the source. A source's journalistic history/integrity, their possible motives, any possible benefits from possible motives.
If argume ts dont need sources anymore you can claim anything and the other person cant deny it because without sources there are no facts, and without facts there are no awnsers
Hey I had someone PM me and do exactly this not long ago. Saying that vaccine mandates were just private businesses making business decisions. I showed him the mandates in Quebec, the Australian quarantine camps, and the Biden administration's vaccine mandate. He still couldn't admit that he was wrong
i thought you double posted this, until i realized you switched the colors.....you sly dog
Lol. He A/B tested it?
PCM, you claim to not only upvote libleft bad memes, yet this one has 4000 more upvotes. Curious.
--UNFLAIRED--
Oh damn, clever fuck
He just plays both sides for max karma
He’s playing both sides
He's playing both sides so he can always come out on top 😎
My source is me! I made it the fuck up
My source is that it was revealed to me in a dream by a higher power
Based and max0r pilled
Based
The virgin peer reviewed multi year Harvard study vs the chad I made it the fuck up.
To be fair. Reverse the colors, and it's still true.
But get a fifth of the upvotes
Reverse the colours and it gets 5% of the upvotes.
Maybe it's like... People lie, and have pre-dispositions, and that's something every human except maybe Jesus Christ himself, has had.
The issue too is that a lot of the time people never accept a source as good enough, and sometimes that's even because the source isn't actually good enough. Then there's the whole issue that comes out when two competing sources are presented.
Check his profile, thats litterally what he did
Not here apparently. He made that post with the colors swapped right before this one and it only has like 100 upvotes.
Thanks for this
100%
Yup, because this sub is a cringe centrist-conservatiard sub, when I commented about people giving me just a single argument for a pro life position they just down voted my shit and said nothing, the Emily horseshoe theory ftw
u/ --UNFLAIRED-- Despite posting quite a lot of quality posts, should not be respected due to his being a filthy unflaired.
Yeah.. I think one more time ought to do it.
The bot has gained sapience.
reminded for 134 times?
Some day this bot just begins posting his address...
This motherfucker has his own unique flair bot message. I regret to say it but that is quite based.
The bot dev should drop the "for" before the number
When will a perm ban come into effect? We cannot allow such animals into our safe space.
Good bot.
good
Fuck your flairs
as unflaired you are factually always wrong
[удалено]
(first of all, look at my flair)
She is the left wing Tucker Carlson, in that they have argued her show is opinion and not news
I don't know much about you, but about 10 years ago I was in your quadrant.
I like how this has three fourteen times the amount of comments as otherwise identical colour-swapped version right below.
I did my part and down voted both because they came from a filthy unflaired
Because I want them to be wrong. I don't want them to want me to be wrong.
A lot of the comments are bullying unflaired, keep in mind.
Left......bad?
I enjoy reading the copes of people insisting this isn't because PCM has a heavy right wing bias lol
Why do people think this sub is a right-wing circle-jerk?!?!!!!1!
Forty times more upvotes rn lol
Source?
Obligatory Max0rposting.
Nothing brings me more joy than bullying Emily's or the unflaired.
Damn right!
This but with rightwingers who won’t admit they are aroused by femboys.
MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE FUK UP
My source is that Alex Jones made it the fuck up
We all know this goes all ways.
Jokes on you, I also read the sources of my opponents.
And by reading them you find out 3 are blog entries, one is a thread of messages from Facebook and one is a whitepaper made by a medic without license.
Same the other way around
Yes, and you can go to the other post for it
“Sources? Yes, we have plenty of sources”
I once asked someone for evidence that the capitol riot was perpetrated by undercover feds and they sent me a link to a blog post describing a Tucker Carlson segment based on a Revolver News article that cited an indictment - and after digging through all those layers to find the indictment, the "evidence" was the mention of an unindicted co-conspirator, which undercover feds aren't ever listed as (for obvious reasons)
Completely unrelated but my great great grandpa loosely helped capture and kill Bonnie and Clyde
So then don't ask for sources and make shit up like everybody else.
twitter post of a notes app screenshot that totally came from an "inside source"
Or it's "I don't like your source".
tbf this does have some weight. If someone cites OAN to me ima laugh. same with the Jacobin by leftists.
"shows a YouTube video from Jordan Peterson
This works in both ways
Idk this place isn't as bad as yahoo answers, not by a long shot.
This applies in both directions, a palindromic meme if you will
the source
The page won’t load for me on mobile for whatever reason but it’s infinitely funnier to just see the FES header and then nothing but grey for like 6 pages then their contact details
I have never seen a right-winger on PCM that gave a source for his claims.
To be fair, I’ve been provided sources on occasion in arguments here. They’re not always particularly good ones, but an attempt at a source is still something
Sauce?
FBI crime stats
I've seen a few that give sources that directly contradict their claims.
To be fair reddit site wide bans a lot of websites that break the narrative.
The one true compass wide unity, wanting the other guy to feel stupid
Yes right winger thank you for … yep, another source that doesn’t say what you think it says and/or some random blog that cites other random blogs.
You have no idea how much I hate blogs that cite other blogs as a history student.
Yeah, but if you ho through ALL of the random blogs, you get to mega blog, and that blog, is the correct blog
Yours is the same you know, just you concentrate your source-retards in californian universities and give them titles. Our source-retards are plain, honest retards.
Source? Source? Source?
My favorite thing over the last week or two is just posting factual information about abortions and when fetuses are viable etc. and see how fucking allergic to facts the debate has been.
I can’t think of any factual information that would bother me
I know many facts about abortion. I just choose to be liberal about it, despite it probably to some level being morally wrong.
Can I get some, I’m obviously pro choice but always ready for stuff I don’t know.
My favorite is sourcing The Bible to confront the Bible thumpers.
If you're trolling abortion advocates then it's pretty obvious which side you've chosen
Unless it's a really specific technical question, source requests are always in bad faith.
It depends on the seriousness of the discussion. If it's a light chat, then the request for a source is pretty honest.
and providing me with that source gives me a chance to discredit it
I always ask for source when I’m too lazy too google it.
This has been my experience. It seems to be an exercise in wasting the time of people you disagree with online. If someone truly cares, they would be more more informed and familiar with opposition arguments. If they just post "Source?" online its just a low effort passive aggressive discrediting tactic.

This is why you always ask "what would you qualify as a credible source" before giving sources.
More like the throw some shitty academic study about dog park rape culture invented by some woke researchers from Berkley or some such bullshit.
Based and they'll believe anything even mein kampf as long as it's confirmation bias pilled
UselessAcademicStudies
Sir this the internet, not a persuasive essay. No one gives a shit about your sources
Yeah but if you don't give people a reason to trust you then they should not trust you.
Exactly. Some people treat Reddit like they are writing an editorial rebuttal to original research in the New England Journal of Medicine.
But... Can you even prove a point then
Or if you're in a conspiracy sub, half the posts are just "trust me bro, do the research" instead of properly sourced points.
This kind of sucks 🤓
Don't ask sources to a guy who spends every weekend saving crime statistics infograph from a private discord, you will just waste time explaining that genocide is bad.
Who the fuck even gives about sources give anybody on this sub a source and they will say well actually my source says .
It's called Truth Decay - by RAND of all groups
Both sides are guilty of this
[удалено]
It’s a joke
I actually did this yesterday...
People are telling you to flair up but you could flair as a centrist and your opinions wouldn't matter anyways 🤷
this can go both ways sadly. Everyone’s stupid on this political spectrum
That's because, anon, you keep using magazines and tabloids as sources.
Both of you do this.
This works both ways though, no need for colors
Both sides do that a lot
Literally anytime I provide a source, they tell me the source isn't up to thier standards.
My source is that I made it the fuck up -Senator Armstrong
Senator Armstrong is high.
Disgusting unflaired
Same thing turned around if you bring up reaganomics
"Psh that's your source? Why don't you find a source from only places i agree with?"
Last time we got given sauce it was when we evolved into homo sapiens, this post is pure soychugging
I ask for sources because I want people's arguments to be better.
Both sides have these types of people
Source?
Welp. Is there any place on reddit were left bad and right bad meme get equal upvotes? Or is literally every single forum here heavily biased one way or the other?
>opens envelope
"I object your honor"
"You always use the same argument, stop using it"
Typically it's the leftists who pull the stuff like "why is a human more valuable than an animal" and not us.
yall call Newsmax and you aunt on Facebook sources
Flair up or you’re banned from my grill
POV: You say anything critical of Covid vaccines
If the lights are on and have worked for 20 years, do you need a source that the wiring was done so it works?
ah yes the book banning people that think the election was stolen-- a robust source of accurate information
That's why when someone asks you for a source you tell them to go fuck themselves.
"Just Google it, and find whatever source you want, whatever source pleases you the most, because I know you won't like my source"
"Here's some money, give me a study that proves me right"
spoken like a true retard

Fuck you, you just need to read the source and if it's from bozos say it is, sources are good
Flair the fuck up scumbag
Even an AuthCent named Cock-Tyrant is more based than the unflaired. That's gotta prove something.
"SOURCERINO??!"
Leftist > sauce?
Based and Wikipedia is leftist pilled
Flair up, literally a convicted paedophile who we learned was just released in 2020 after serving 5 years for raping a child.
Once I had an argument:
Anything I disagree with is far right.
YOUR SOURCE ISN’T APPROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATION OF TRUTH!
And the leftists downvoted
You must’ve watched TimCast yesterday. Matt Binder is a moron.
That was a rough watch
When will authleft mod come and force unflaired to get a flair
Do you have a source why your unflaired
I liked this meme until I realised who posted it. Flair up.
FLAIR UP YOU DIRTY FUCKING NASTYNESS
You used source? Everyone knows source is biased. Even other source says so.
left bad right good
The Virgin "Show me your Source(s)" vs the Chad "Fuck you, I am the Source!"
Hey I had someone PM me and do exactly this not long ago. Saying that vaccine mandates were just private businesses making business decisions. I showed him the mandates in Quebec, the Australian quarantine camps, and the Biden administration's vaccine mandate. He still couldn't admit that he was wrong
Bro, I lit gave a source to some right wingers on here…I got BLANKED.
what is this even about? i can't see anything past that unflaired bullshit.
Flair up u fucking piece of shit
huh that's weird you accidentally put the colors on wrong
You're all wrong and all your sources are based off emotions.
The source is that I made it the fuck up - The senator guy
This meme would also work if the colors were reversed.
While the meme is good, the fact that an unfl*ired is being upvoted is catastrophic to the PCM order.
You can smell the irony
My source? It came to me in a dream
This can also be vice versa.
Sauce?
Reverse the colours and maybe you'll be correct.
More like, I’m not wasting my time googling a source for you because this is Reddit and you won’t change your opinion anyway.
My source is I made it the fuck up
People who constantly ask for sources are extremely cringe. Unless someone is quoting a specific study or a specific statistic.
