For me I think it has to be Russiagate. It’s just become a catch all for centrist libs to refuse to believe anything bad about their team, make up crazy conspiracies about anyone to their left or right, dismiss every contradiction of capitalism as “Russian interference”. It’s maddening. At least the RWNJ conspiracies like Q and the Alex Jones shit are usually pretty funny because of how ridiculous they are, russiagate doesn’t even have that going for it.

What are some other contenders?

    Honorable mention: libs saying everything shouldn't be political. I've heard so many people say black lives shouldn't be political, science shouldn't be political, etc. These things have always been political, of course climate change is political when ignoring it benefits the economy tremendously. I feel like refusing to accept that everything is political leads to a failure of a worldview very in tune with the incoherent ideology of liberals, because you never look at the bigger issue and see who benefits from pushing these issues. It's not random that black lives matter is contentious, we have a police state that will fight tooth and nail to keep their power.

      Bespoke Marxism: everything is economic and politics is part of the superstructure
