We've created a society where being confidently wrong pays better than being cautiously right. Is it any wonder we're drowning in bullshit merchants?

welcome to the network state of r/confidentlyincorrect

but that's just it. it’s always been about posturing. 

history’s full of loudmouths winning crowds while the cautious got drowned out.

Because, generally, the ones who truly know tend to watch from a distance

Probably a new tactic of deception. Maybe yes.

you mad that I'm talking like a cowboy so good?
well maybe someday you could do it as well as me 
Yeehaw

I think the shock value/being wrong and controversy to get more attention has been there for years and still being used as a strategy unfortunately.

Those though who are being right and loud aren't even heard but slowly communities around them are forming too.
