    I didnt downvote you. I’m not going to do research for you. Linking a book review should be enough to prove it wasn’t pulled out of this air.

      Burden of proof is on the person who posted, so certainly not you. But they’re quiet and you’re out here telling me to research why the meme is correct.

      That amounts to saying you don’t know how to prove it, and believe it on pure subjective opinion. Which makes whatever you link idiotic since it might not even prove what you’re trying to say.

        The review goes over some of the methodology.

        and believe it on pure subjective opinion.

        I’m not saying that.

        Edit: if you’re saying it’s based on nothing then I expect you to have looked into it, yes

          Why should I, as the person receiving a meme, research why it is based on fact and not fiction?

          That’s not how the burden of proof works.

            Because you asked for it? Someone posted a dumb meme and didn’t cite it with studies and now you are mad. You do have some burden since you are the one who started the discussion on proof in the first place. If you can’t even be bothered to look at the proof they bring, its not their problem.

              Any media with years, density, “shifting baseline syndrome” is not a meme, it’s an infograph disguised as a meme.

              So yes, your “meme” requires proof. And you’re a propagandist idiot if you think otherwise.

                There is no secret agenda here. Its just a dumb meme. You can a meme with the words “shifting baseline syndrome” if you want. In fact you can put whatever you want in a meme.
