things we know are false

so there's fuckloads things that are obviously totally false and yet completely enshrined in the leftist worldview. we all kinda implicitly know a lot of them or we wouldn't be here. what are some parallel totally completely obviously false aspects of the conservative zeitgeist?

i was hoping to get more interesting esoteric answers to this tbh. maybe i would need to ask a more high quality conservative audience this question rather than my probably more left-grey audience

oh yeah this is probably the biggest one that's been posted so far. like the clearest and strongest effect that conservatives literally view totally opposite from reality

@leoshatrushin1

Immigration is good for the economy

another critical one. like lotta complexity on the topic but transitioning is one of the most effective psychiatric treatments known, beats out anything we have for depression or anxiety etc by a MASSIVE margin

@Nexuist

Sex change operations are not effective treatment for gender dysphoria

the idea of "paying down our debt" being important should be absolutely ludicrous at this point, especially to any even mild techno-optimists, but trump still brings it up in every other speech

we talk a lot about leftist forced speech and cognitive blindspots, but 3 decades ago admitting to being an atheist could lose u jobs and turn u into a social pariah. one of the most widespread forms of cultural authoritarianism.

- immigration is obviously a cornerstone of this country’s economy
- tariffs are a tax on your own consumers
- the new right seems to be a bunch of obviously non religious elites extolling the virtues of religion for the general public in a cynical way
