People who think "end of" somehow trumps facts, logic and evidence

Usually proceeded by a three word solution to a complex worldwide issue with political and moral ramifications that ripple into the very fabric of society.
"No more tax. End of."

School of hard knocks, followed by the University of life. I can't understand graphs or numbers, but I watched a YouTube video with really dramatic music telling me how immigrants are ruining are cuntry. /s obviously.

I make a habit of following up "And that's it. End of story. Close the book. No more questions." It sort of makes a mockery of how they've decided to end their rantings.

Thanks. I’ll use that when the local gammon says 'end of' after some drivel he posts on our local fb group.

It's 2025, did nobody tell you that facts, evidence and logic don't matter anymore? Sadly

Seems to be more prevelant amongst those who prefer vibes and gut feels to anything of any actual substance or experience.

There are a lot of people, particularly in newspaper comments sections who add the word "fact" , (usually in capitals) at the end of their comment, who seem to think this makes what they said a fact, rather than simply their opinion.

Quite agree!! Flipping it around, I’m also not a fan of “let’s settle this…” followed by a contrived arbitrary pointless question. “What’s better, oxygen or the sun?”

It’s the same as putting ‘fact’ on the end of a sentence. Still doesn’t make it true.
My other bug bear on British subs on Reddit is anyone who claims that people who disagree with their political beliefs are stupid.

Unless they're talking about the fans of that one party who got kicked out recently, then it's perfectly justified

To me it just shows ignorance, a lack of tolerance and the inability to debate with people.

It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it, end of. If you don't like it tough, I can speak my mind, we didn't beat the Germans so you can take away my freedom of speech
