I have not seen this mentioned before, but the Teslas people buy in the US isn't helping the environment. You just are saving on fuel!

I came into the comment section hoping for interesting things, but knowing it would be almost all political. Why do I keep doing this to myself, I know better.

That global poverty has declined because of the spread of liberal economies

So many things I could type here... I'll just keep it silly:

Some people think drinking peroxide will give their body "extra oxygen".

The US military is there to protect their country's "Freedom"

That the 2020 election was stolen.

Liberalism.. that is classical and neo-liberalism, as they were invented by a bunch of lords and sir's who were angry that the monarchy was getting a cut. It's the preferred ideology of the finance industry, as they can't have liberationism or lazze fair capitalism because the guillotines would roll out much too quickly. But they sure can define global markets and the value of currencies.

Watch US pundits harp on and on about the monarch's of Europe, but not a squeak about the aristocracy or the barons. It's also funny to note that because of goal post moving, liberalism which technically is slightly right from center, has become "left wing". So when you tell Americans that technically they have two right wing parties, they lose their absolute shit.

"This war is different, this war is nessasary" "This is the most important election of our time" "Invasive surveillance is done for your protection" "We only censor misinformation"

"we are free"

That the 2020 election was stolen via widespread voting fraud.

There's a TVTropes page for things like this, of course.

Capitalist realism

This is the entirety of trump. Tell the lie on a TV show to accelerate results

That there was a protest against something in Beijing from April until June 4th 1989.

Heard the glorious communist party rolled over the protestors with tracks but that's impossible!

News ownership has consolidated over the last 40 years from around 40 companies in the 1980s to 6 today. This is that "liberal news media" conservatives keep yammering on about. The one that's owned by 6 corporations.

The council of nicea verifiably, empirically did NOT collect the gospels to make the new testament as we know it. The gospels were already being bound together, seen as a whole, etc before the council, and after the council there was still a bunch of what's now considered apocrypha.
