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.
