1/2: It's always fascinating that the same people that tell me I'm 100% wrong on something because "it's way more complicated than that" are usually the same people who tell me they are 100% right about something because "it's not complicated at all".
They often also will ask me for independently verifiable documentary evidence from multiple sources on the spot as support my assertions, but when asked the same they will tell me, "Do your own research!"
They often also handwave away any...
3/2: I'm not saying that I'm not and/or cannot be incorrect, wrong, inaccurate, or misinformed, because I know I can be. I've seen me do it.
I'm saying intransigence, ego, pride, insecurity, emotionalism, etc., not to mention charlatanry, are and always have been problems. They are a very old and very familiar haunt on the ol' double-helix.

2/2: ...independently verifiable documentary evidence from multiple sources that I do supply them on the spot, and they say they're all false without having examined them at all. They even dismiss my first-hand accounts of experiences as lies or as errors in perception.
All of this happened prior to social media and is not remotely unique to it, and it doesn't happen uniquely or even predominantly with any particular demographic or combinations thereof. It's simply humans.
