"liberals are afraid of facts" is a meme created by people who usually present opinions as facts, or worse yet use a single small sample study to assert "facts".

it's cute to watch someone present "facts" on facebook that turn out to be fake studies then watch them sheepishly say something like, "ok you got my it's fake but still proves my point" or "that's just one study, i could easily find one that proves it."

I have a REALLY small sample study that i conducted by reading my timeline over the last 2 years. I'm aware of the methodological issues, and stated as much in my conclusions, but the people that paid me to conduct the study keep block quoting it all the same.

Not much of a mystery really.
Challenging ideas requires intelligence, something o/p is completely devoid of

even a step worse, he challenges caricatures of people rather than the actual people. Thus everyone he disagrees with is a "sjw" "leftist" "cuck" "communist" etc

I think that the alt right started doing this to counter the alt lefts overuse of buzzwords like "racist" "fascist" misogynist" etc, but they got high on their own supply and are now employing the same intellectual laziness because it's convenient and labeling theory has some net positives for them as well.

Party that does not believe in climate change and somewhat believes that the earth is 6,000 years old accuses the other side of being afraid of facts.
