Brandolini's law, also known as the bullshit asymmetry principle, is an internet adage which emphasizes the difficulty of debunking bullshit: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude larger than to produce it."
An order of magnitude or more - AGW, Russia Hoax, Anti-vaxxers, Anti-Semites, racist group identity bigots, and general crisis mongers. Its exhausting to refute that which should be close to self-evident.
