This guy called a conservative radio show and listed names of punk bands.

“One of my main problems is… I’m a Republican in a fairly liberal area, sometimes I feel like everyone is just Against Me!,” Dobi began, talking to host Liz Gabert. “I feel like what we need to do is listen to what our Descendents told us. ​’Cause in the past we Refused to live a Life Of Agony. I’m Sick Of It All. Im sick of people thinking we’re just a Minor Threat. Enough of that Fugazi. A lot of these people just got Bad Brains, that are Misfits that waive Black Flag and they’re practically Anti-Flag. I think we need to Converge and help the Youth Of Today because every time you blink, 182 kids, they go missing…”

Only vid I could find was from the guy on shitter, sorry

    I've met way too many people who think schools have litter boxes for furries, so nobody would question a dog playing basketball.

    It was shared on here that that story stemmed from the fact that classrooms are keeping kitty litter handy so kids can shit in a bucket during school shooter lock down incidents.

    Tiny bit of truth ÷ deflection x thing I hate = popular lie

    The way you create a narrative is by saying something that's ninety percent true, omitting a bit of context, and sprinkling in one or two lies. That way, when it gets debunked, the firm believers will just say that it's close enough to the truth.

    People insist it happens in the UK, too, and we don't have school shootings, so wouldn't have that source for the claim.

    It never ceases to amaze me that some of my relatives genuinely believe that's a real thing that happens regularly.

    I've heard so many people parrot the cat litterbox story, even though it was an obvious lie from the start.

    And even if it were true, I can't imagine giving the slightest fuck about it.

    Dude, yesrerday my fucking manager claimed that a local high school has a litterbox because a student identifies as a cat. It was almost bar for bar the same fake story that Joe Rogan was saying months ago! I had to tell the other coworker in the room at the time that I'm almost positive that it's not true and where the lie comes from.

    The place that came from is that one school started keeping a box in the closet just in case there was a school shooter and someone had to go to the bathroom while the school was locked down.

    Yeah it’s because our country’s gun problem is so out of control that our schools need bunkers and since the cops are too scared to go in, they need to be prepared to stay locked down long enough to need to piss in cat litter.

    This is what I said to the last right winger I hear parroting the cat litter bullshit. He changed to complaining about Hunter in the next breath.

    Air Bud was Disney I think so they probably don’t let their family watch.

    Different time. Air bud came out in 97. This was well before "woke" was a thing conservatives thought they were afraid of. 9/11 didn't happen yet. America was a very different place and America loved Disney. This would have been watched by a lot of gen x, both on the early end as parents, and on the late end as children. Millennials have seen it for sure, myself being one of them. I think the odds are pretty high that someone would catch on sooner rather than later.

    I'm genx and have never seen it. Nothing to do with Disney but my wife and I quit our movie theater jobs right before that cane out and it took years for me to be able to pay to watch movies again after that. Years of free movies, private showings, etc had spoiled us.

    Gen X was born before around 82, I think, so they were probably a bit old for Air Bud to be a childhood movie in 97. Definitely the older ones might have watched it with their kids, though.

    I want to spread this rumour in conservative Facebook groups. They'd all fall for it.

    Got yelled at by my boss this morning for saying "we're in a province that just legislation in banning pronoun changes in schools without parental consent, does it seem likely there are litter boxes in schools". Fuck this province

    It would take until Faux News aired the story and people started to make fun of them for it.

    Bleach7295 fun fact: I used to think it was said 'tangenitally.' But that's actually what you get on a nudist beach or something.

    This has been a Bleach7293 fun fact.
