I don't know why people have issues with others asking for sources. Particularly, I don't know why you assume that it's only leftists who want sources.
If you want credibility when you make a claim, then you should always provide a source, or at least reason out your logic. There's no reason to be offended when someone asks for a source or for help, because not everyone has the same knowledge base, and by providing sources, you can help others expand their own knowledge base. That's part of what "helping others to prepare" is about, as far as I can tell.
I mean, a good number of leftists probably hold the beliefs that they do because they only have the MSM as their providers of information, and they never had the personal need to look deeper. They shouldn't be snubbed when they ask for or challenge you for a source, because they might actually need some proof put under their nose before they'll question things deeper. If they're being obstinate, and actively ignoring or deriding any proof provided, then that's a different case altogether, but that shouldn't be the assumed default expectation.
Just to clarify, I'm not talking about looking up an outage map. I've just seen this criticism before, and I find it to be counter-productive. I have trouble convincing my family and co-workers of some things, because they've already given up, and were wary of Q to begin with. Being told "you're lazy, do more research" is very ineffective in trying to convince them of anything.
There’s a time and place it’s relevant to demand a source
A fucking outage map isn’t it
Like it or not, effective or not, telling people to go look it up is the correct answer
If we don’t convince people to do their own research they will always believe someone else’s opinion, you people have to learn this is what q tasked anons with
"Just to clarify, I'm not talking about looking up an outage map. I've just seen this criticism before, and I find it to be counter-productive."
Help others prepare. That's what this time is for. If others ask for help, provide it. Don't pull a sanctimonious, self-righteous attitude and turn them away. Don't be counter-productive. You certainly don't tell them what to think, but at the very least, you can give them a place to start to look for their own answers while you're complaining about them wanting to learn more, so that they can learn what to do the next time they have a question.
People are scared and they are demoralized. Disinformation is everywhere. There isn't time to chase down and prove every lead, not at this critical juncture. Do your own research, but don't just ignore pleas for help, and certainly don't scoff at and alienate them. Is that really what you think we're here for?
Agreed. That is the worst thing that SM and the educations system has done in making people believe that they are incapable of thinking for themselves and that they need help from someone else. And in the DS eyes that is all their corrupt establishments.
Source, please, for your assertion that leftists who are too lazy to do research almost always yell SOURCE.
Support this assertion with each of the below.
First of all, provide link to the universe of "leftists".
Then, show that any (or more preferably the subset) of that list are "too lazy to do research".
Then, show that any (or more preferably the subset) of that list who "almost always yell SOURCE".
Otherwise, I will interpret your post as an opinion that you hold all those who seek to know the source of someone's post in equal disdain as you hold lazy leftists who do not research.
Gmail has been terribly slow, last night & this morning. Taking 12+ minutes to add a 6 of .PDF (same PDF used to attach within seconds). Maryland, inside Beltway
Outage doesn't mean Google search is down completely. It means problems such as this have been reported.
Hot spot on D.C. What a coincidence.
Source? When was this screen shot taken?
Leftists that are too lazy to do research almost always yells SOURCE? Anywho D.C. has cell phone signal blockers in place.

It's almost like [they] don't want people in and around D.C. to be researching on the Net.
I wonder what news will come out today?
Are they trying to kill the interwebs? Internet bill of rights coming?
