They say x, ask for where they heard about x. They say from y news organization, ask the source for y. If they say z, if z is actually an actual document or otherwise, ask them where in z does y claim x is true.
If z is just another news organization, keep going until they provide (or don't provide) an actual document. If they can't procure an actual document, send it yourself. If z is just another video cIip, ask them for the whole video. Provide them the entire video if they can't.
Do not try to antagonize. Just simply ask the questions as if you were trying to understand their point of view, to learn something we might not have heard.
I did something similar to my neighbor when they started pushing masks in school. She said they work and there is documentation proving it. I said great can you send it so I can read it over I swear she has bearly spoken to me since. Covid fucked her up
Did the toilet paper frenzy have something to do with that?
Wow. Kudos, Fren. Longtime stalker, never talker here. To me, this is the best succinct synopsis of many of the problems I've read (I've either been here, or Voat before the close/migration, or r/greatawakening before the ban before that) in at least 4 years!
