Description
From a series of memes I published at my blog: www.webomator.com/2017/01/17/t…Obvious, but so necessary. And this one’s also a problem with echo chambers: because in your own personal bubble you can make forceful restatements of what all your friends believe, and everybody feels good about that. About themselves.
The problem is that so many things that “everybody knows” are downright false. These empty blanket pronouncements are a prime target for people who disagree.
So there you go. Rusty’s got a meme just for unsupported statements.

It sounds like the difficulty involved in proving this would be all about getting others to accept evidence contrary to their preconceived views. At least, I've always found this to be the central obstacle. Evidence comes in five major varieties, but sadly, many people will simply reject or ignore evidence which goes against their assumptions. I would offer evidence of that as well, but many online debates have already done it for me.

I like all of these little memes, but this one is probably my favorite. Rusty is a pretty cool robot first of all, he's got a nice, simple design that's easy on the eyes. And I definitely agree with the statement; people seem convinced that if they are the loudest voice in a conversation, that it magically invalidates whatever the other side has to say, when all it does is make them look as if they are desperately trying to turn things back in their favor, and somewhat invalidate their own argument. Great work on this, some solid advice right here
