I think the most common thing I see online and offline is constantly adding more sources to the discussion to the point that the other person feels they can’t know anything. My grandmother does this with her nonsense and pseudo-intellectual books. Just because I haven’t read “why inner city black people have guns 3” doesn’t mean I can’t not be a racist.

That’s sounds like a made up term

All terms are made up terms

On the other hand, when the sources are literally just news stories on npr.com or whatever, there’s no excuse not to just click it and at least read the headline.
