constantIllusion posted:I alternate between believing that the people who share these memes don't know that this is the age of the internet and verifiable proof they're full of poo poo can be found within seconds on even the slowest of connections, and believing that these people already know that they're lying and they're actively trying to get a rise out of people. Somebody did a study on chain letters. They found that most people share lies knowingly, and most of them do it because they want other people to believe the lies. Not surprising I guess. There's also a social signaling element to it.

Do they actually internalize them as "lies," or is it merely another part of living in an alternate reality bubble where facts matter less than reinforcing worldview?

I think the line of reasoning/argument they're trying to go with here is: "Obama is bad for minorities, therefore the KKK endorses Obama because he harms minorities." Doesn't make it any less ridiculous though.

A large number of my friends believe really silly conspiracy theories. A very large number of millennials think the moon landing was a hoax and Bush did 9/11. I used to argue facts with them, but that just makes people mad. So now I just go "huh, interesting" and hope they stop talking soon. Which they never do. On a related note I visited the 9/11 museum a couple years ago and while I was in the pentagon display there was two guys on a bench talking about how "they never found any plane man!!" and they were actually sitting on the other side of a divider from a 20 foot section of the actual fuselage and part of the landing gear.

SalTheBard posted:I would say it was roughly around 2007 that I stopped really really being into 9/11 truthiness. While I don't believe it, I'd say George Bush knowing the attack was coming and not stopping it is plausible in a way that "controlled demolition" isn't. We do know that Bush ignored at least one direct warning that OBL was planning some sort of attack and brushed it off, and he certainly did exploit the poo poo out of it after the fact. The problem is that if there were explicit information about how exactly it was going to happen, it would have to pass through a lot of hands to get to Bush, and there's no way everyone involved would keep quiet.

Even if it is written from the perspective of a woman that still leaves the question of why that first guy was in the women's bathroom in the image so he'd be able to body slam the second one.

I've walked into the woman's bathroom... twice? In my life. I do this because I am oblivious, and both times I realized where I was, said, "Whups! Sorry!" and left. Fortunately I've not been pile-driven through the floor, because it's pretty rare for people to respond to someone in the wrong room by trying to kill them.

At one place I worked the entrances to washrooms were consistent in terms of left/right, except for one floor of one building. We moved to that floor, and I probably stepped into the women's washroom half a dozen times before I left that job. It was a near-constant thing that someone was backing away from a door and apologizing.

Jurgan posted:Okay, I don't know if this counts as political, but I need to share it anyway. So there's this college biology professor whom I've known all my life. His daughter was one of my best friends growing up, I've stayed at their house, he ran my Scout troop, etc. He's practically family, so I want to be nice, but he's also a stubborn jackass. He's constantly fighting with school administration and anyone else he can find over trivial poo poo, and it finally got him fired. The straw that broke the camel's back was he refused to write learning objectives on his syllabus, insisting on using a quote from Woodrow Wilson that he thought summed it all up. On the one hand, I get the value of academic freedom, but it's such a stupid hill to die on, and it's at least the third time he's been formally reprimanded by the administration, so what did he think would happen? Now he's posting articles on Facebook talking about how right he was, including one from the Weekly Standard talking about how brave he is and how terrible liberal education is: Oh, dear, this just keeps getting worse: "Posted by a friend at The College..."

  today in ruining simple jokes  looking like a mad dog at the very mention of the president's name (but it's liberals who are unhinged)  kick the president on the playground  a nice martha stewart look (new dogwhistles 2016 model)  so wait, are we agreeing with obama or not?  :nowwatchthisdrive:  giveafuck  bad president  trying to erase racist whitebread america you mean. good riddance  illegal aliens = heavily tattooed gang members  and if I were a black student that just had a car accident and I knocked on your front door for help, you'd shoot me in the face, so there's that  yeah because you'd deport them  telephone pole jobs  anti-welfare propaganda has been astoundingly successful  so no handouts and no illegal aliens except for this one that Barack Obama should personally support. got it.  yeah that worked so well in 2012, you should definitely keep doing it  you getting a mortgage interest credit, taxpayer?  then again logic is not a racist's strong suit  like so. "helping poor people makes them more poor"? (they mean dependent but they can't even do their own lie properly)  wrap it in copper coil and power the eastern seaboard, because drat  nuke poo poo amirite  Nazis  any idea what this is referencing? minimum wage?  way too many white men?  maps maps maps  bathroom  NO U are the sexist ones!  muslim wives  muslim hordes  disgusting muslims  gently caress israel   reminder it is our job as white people to call out racism like this when we see it. Especially in our family members and friends.  homosexual acts of congress  science of poo poo I made up because I can't even differentiate between a drag queen and a transgendered person  if anyone's wondering how Trumpians are justifying the racist poo poo he did this week, the answer is "blacks love trump, you're the real racist"  trump literally endorsed by david duke? Nope, Hillary's the real racist. It's interesting how we've come to a cultural place where being called racist is a bad thing, but feel free to do or say the most racist things.   now with commentary  obama hates white people - a literal war criminal   not racist nope nope nope Hotrod Len is making a name for himself you guys  PANTS PANIC, always evergreen

I mean if I had my choice it would be for restricting firearms, but at this point I acknowledge that isn't something that is possible in America, so I am willing to support gun safety instruction if it means we'll have fewer toddlers/children shooting themselves and other people in the country. Although given that we still have people handing off automatic weapons to children at shows, maybe we can also have a period of universal training so it's not just kids getting lessons?

Keep in mind that the mere idea of having more scrutinizing background checks is the exact same as confiscating all guns forever for all time. Somebody somewhere is seeing this as socialism run amok that will snatch kids from homes and indoctrinate them into Obama's Thug Army.

It's suprasocial conflict It's remedial poo poo because understanding how the eejits do it so badly is the first step to doing it even remotely well. Like, Satanic Panic denominations, New Atheism, etc all have their own NewSpeak and their odd single-perspective worldviews where despite having made enemies of the masses, being in the world but not of it, etc they aren't even capable of understanding that the public can disagree with them. Every disagreement must be the result of enemy action, and enemies are not granted agency either, because the fanatic has no agency and is incapable of plotting their own course. It's all just running on automatic, and anyone who knows how it goes can seize on it to just gently caress it all up.
