Mine’s a tie between a near future and a not so near future sci-fantasy bazinga take:
“Self-driving cars are the key to a post-scarcity future!” (when asked how the fuck that conclusion was drawn, I was told “do the research.”)
“Even if climate change is proven to actually be a problem, climate doesn’t matter in space. We can have fully sustainable cattle farms in orbit producing as much meat as we need. Elon Musk.” (yes, that bazinga fuck actually said “Elon Musk” at the end of that claim like it somehow stamped a seal upon the rest of the take)
“Bernie can win” - me four years ago.
“There is hope for the United States” - me four years ago
The biggest one is just the idea that the climate apocalypse can be meaningfully stopped. Like sorry, no, that window closed probably 20 years ago.
A media-promoted take was about robots dumping ice cubes in the Arctic Ocean like a fucking Futurama bit.
Greenland’s way ahead of them.
Hillary is light itself was kinda out there.
On the topic of the Amerikan revolution. I stated that the revolution was a bourgeoise revolution that did not actually benefit the majority of people. This of course triggered the liberal into arguing Amerika is good actually. I asked, how did the revolution benefit enslaved people? They insisted that being enslaved actually helped those people, and that, had they been emancipated when Amerika revolted it would have caused mass famines and more death and suffering than the enslavement itself caused. They told me they could prove this with, and I quote: “spreadsheets, baby!”
“Gay people only exist in the west”
I heard a whopper to top that one, and worse, it’s from my own biological family:
“Gay people are just lazy. Men always want to fuck, so the ones that are (nazi slur here) just fuck each other.”
That’s a very funny take actually and frankly not too far from the truth
North Korea actually doesn’t have nukes
After only their first test, which was like a 0.5-2kt yield, I can understand this claim somewhat. They could have faked that as a bluff with lots of conventional explosives. Doesn’t make so much sense why they would, but it was a plausible interpretation I guess.
Given that their later tests were something like a hundred times that, it’s kinda absurd to still try to make the claim
I think libs think of the DPRK as a project of enormous effort to give the illusion of functionality from the last 3 remaining north koreans.
Man I’m not even vegan, but cattle farms in orbit is peak carnist nonsense
Oh my God I’ve never heard this one but it’s so stupid it’s very funny to me.
