Why don't you back that up with a source?
This is my personal favourite. Asking for sources in general conversation, and refusing to participate further in any discussion without them. Then it turns out their own sources are just links to some "journalist" opinion from a web site, written by a different human being without any sources.
I believe that tactic is called sealioning. It's very common on Twitter actually.
My source is that I made it the fuck up
No, you see, I already told you I am a superior being. My parents are both CIA psycho-astronauts with the highest security clearance, I'm THAT important also I have a IQ of 239 which is higher than all of you combined I don't need to back myself up with your so called "sources" only mindless sheep have to back themselves up with such. I am no mindless sheep, you see, I am a lone wolf my smartness makes others not want to associate with me because they feel so dumb next to me I exude IQ. That's also why I believe both sides are the same. * tips fedora * OwO
