So you feel good about downvoting someone for rightfully pointing out a lack of evidence, then sending a link to an entire book review which might or might not even show evidence of the thing I was asking for?
Dude, you said show “proof” and he showed proof. Dunno what you are complaining about. How was he supposed to prove anything without linking to an external source?
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.
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.
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.
No

LMFAO.

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.

The review goes over some of the methodology.
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.

Do memes need burden of proof?
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.
Maybe… Maybe the memes community isn’t for you.
