What do the fascists get out of saying the truth? Shouldn’t they be cheering on the war machine? My conservative family is sharing this vid around and I’m very confused on what to do. Why can’t it be socialists and communists who get millions of views by talking like this?

      Googled this and one of the first results is snopes

      WHAT'S TRUE: A 1998 episode of SNL included a "Schoolhouse Rock!" parody segment called "Conspiracy Theory Rock!" that was dropped from subsequent reruns of the episode. WHAT'S FALSE: The "Conspiracy Theory Rock!" segment was banned or suppressed by the network because its anti-corporate message was deemed too dangerous, offensive to sponsors, or otherwise unflattering to various corporations.

        My favorite deboonker site is Politifact. After Biden's BBB bill was so stone-cold dead that even everybody on MSNBC was calling it dead - Politifact refused to use that word. Anything involving BBB was described as "stalled" or the topic had articles that were 1,000s of words long "explaining" everything with half-truths and lies.

          this one takes the cake for me

          https://checkyourfact.com/2019/12/24/fact-check-633000-homeless-million-vacant-homes/

          An image shared on Facebook claims that there are more than 633,000 homeless people and more than 13.9 million vacant homes in America.

          Verdict: False

          The most recent data from the National Alliance to End Homelessness puts the number of homeless people at 552,830. There are more than 17 million vacant homes across the U.S., according to the Census Bureau.

            Today I learned that more than 17 million is actually not more than 13.9 million.

          I gave up on that site in 2016 when the links were being shared. I read one article about Hillary Clinton and it sounded like it had been written by her attorney. All evasion and "you can't prove that in court" and other obvious bullshit tactics. Conclusion: false.

          Politifact was partisan from the beginning, but seeing Snopes do the same bullshit killed the last shred of optimism I had for the Internet in 2016ish

        Watched it. It's not very good. It's by that "TV funhouse" guy who made all those unfunny shorts back in the day. A typical embittered liberal pouring his vindictiveness out in public.
