I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

The WEF really is infiltrating governments with their pawns. One of Canada's national papers is finally acknowledging this, and its the more left one.

The correct usage of the word "c*nt" in Australian culture.

Here's one that I saw on Facebook just yesterday: People getting upset and kicking up a fuss about the installation of a protected bike lane on a street, claiming that it causes traffic congestion and blocks emergency vehicles. This is truly a triumph of brainwashing or motivated reasoning. The pictures clearly show cars causing the congestion, and it's the carswhich would block the emergency vehicles. It's just that cars are so normalized and internalized that people can ignore the evidence provided by their own eyes, with the help of self-told lies about how another lane would fix congestion.
