This guy called a conservative radio show and listed names of punk bands.

“One of my main problems is… I’m a Republican in a fairly liberal area, sometimes I feel like everyone is just Against Me!,” Dobi began, talking to host Liz Gabert. “I feel like what we need to do is listen to what our Descendents told us. ’Cause in the past we Refused to live a Life Of Agony. I’m Sick Of It All. Im sick of people thinking we’re just a Minor Threat. Enough of that Fugazi. A lot of these people just got Bad Brains, that are Misfits that waive Black Flag and they’re practically Anti-Flag. I think we need to Converge and help the Youth Of Today because every time you blink, 182 kids, they go missing…”

Only vid I could find was from the guy on shitter, sorry

I'm not into guys, but that dude is sorely tempting.

...they're gonna have to deal with the Fallout, Boy

That ending was way too good

[-] dreugeworst@lemmy.ml 13 points 8 months ago

Omg they even got reel big fish in there

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Ok this is the pure essence of trolling

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 117 points 8 months ago

I've met way too many people who think schools have litter boxes for furries, so nobody would question a dog playing basketball.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 56 points 8 months ago

It was shared on here that that story stemmed from the fact that classrooms are keeping kitty litter handy so kids can shit in a bucket during school shooter lock down incidents.

Tiny bit of truth ÷ deflection x thing I hate = popular lie

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 26 points 8 months ago

Hol up, that's a thing? Fuck, I almost wish it was just to appease the furries, the reality is so much more depressing.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

I think that's why the hate story works so well.

[-] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

As a bonus it also deflects what would otherwise be a damning story about the gun violence problem.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

The way you create a narrative is by saying something that's ninety percent true, omitting a bit of context, and sprinkling in one or two lies. That way, when it gets debunked, the firm believers will just say that it's close enough to the truth.

[-] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

People insist it happens in the UK, too, and we don't have school shootings, so wouldn't have that source for the claim.

[-] Olgratin_Magmatoe@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Misinformation isn't constrained by geography. At least, not enough to keep stupid from spreading.

[-] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Same where I am in Canada. I've heard it from several different sources.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

I mean, it doesn't say a dog can't play basketball in the rulebook, so why would anyone question it?

[-] Silentiea@lemm.ee 4 points 8 months ago

They seriously haven't updated the rulebook? It's been a quarter century!

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I'm going to start spreading this.

[-] sanpedropeddler@sh.itjust.works 101 points 8 months ago

It never ceases to amaze me that some of my relatives genuinely believe that's a real thing that happens regularly.

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 65 points 8 months ago

I've heard so many people parrot the cat litterbox story, even though it was an obvious lie from the start.

And even if it were true, I can't imagine giving the slightest fuck about it.

[-] thewitchslayer@sh.itjust.works 45 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Dude, yesrerday my fucking manager claimed that a local high school has a litterbox because a student identifies as a cat. It was almost bar for bar the same fake story that Joe Rogan was saying months ago! I had to tell the other coworker in the room at the time that I'm almost positive that it's not true and where the lie comes from.

[-] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 8 months ago

It's scary how many people parrot what they hear almost word for word with no thinking at all

[-] sleen@lemmy.zip 4 points 8 months ago

That's what society is, it's not just them - we also tend to do this on some things. It's just a matter of realising that what society says may not be true after all.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 12 points 8 months ago

The place that came from is that one school started keeping a box in the closet just in case there was a school shooter and someone had to go to the bathroom while the school was locked down.

[-] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah it’s because our country’s gun problem is so out of control that our schools need bunkers and since the cops are too scared to go in, they need to be prepared to stay locked down long enough to need to piss in cat litter.

This is what I said to the last right winger I hear parroting the cat litter bullshit. He changed to complaining about Hunter in the next breath.

[-] Hupf@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago

When propaganda is so effective it becomes the Mandela effect.

[-] Pelicanen@sopuli.xyz 24 points 8 months ago

Even worse, in the cases where there are buckets with cat litter in a school, it's for active school shooter situations (about halfway down, where Columbine is mentioned).

[-] wick@lemm.ee 88 points 8 months ago

"I said it makes no difference to me but a dog can't play basketball, but the woke lib ref says there ain't no rule says a dog can't play."

[-] ElderberryLow@programming.dev 41 points 8 months ago

Air Bud was Disney I think so they probably don’t let their family watch.

[-] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 39 points 8 months ago

Different time. Air bud came out in 97. This was well before "woke" was a thing conservatives thought they were afraid of. 9/11 didn't happen yet. America was a very different place and America loved Disney. This would have been watched by a lot of gen x, both on the early end as parents, and on the late end as children. Millennials have seen it for sure, myself being one of them. I think the odds are pretty high that someone would catch on sooner rather than later.

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I'm genx and have never seen it. Nothing to do with Disney but my wife and I quit our movie theater jobs right before that cane out and it took years for me to be able to pay to watch movies again after that. Years of free movies, private showings, etc had spoiled us.

[-] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

Gen X was born before around 82, I think, so they were probably a bit old for Air Bud to be a childhood movie in 97. Definitely the older ones might have watched it with their kids, though.

[-] Beefytootz@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That's more so what I was meaning, my father's gen x from the early side and watched it with us as kids, including my older brother who's on the tail end of gen x. I guess it really does come down to proximity to millenials

[-] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 8 months ago

As a younger Gen X, my memory of Air Bud is a young cousin giving me a long-winded description of the movie at Thanksgiving, but I never actually watched it lol

[-] TheFresh16@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

If only Disney and Fox Corporation had something in common

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago

I want to spread this rumour in conservative Facebook groups. They'd all fall for it.

[-] pythonoob@programming.dev 14 points 8 months ago

Something something litter boxes

[-] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 8 months ago

Got yelled at by my boss this morning for saying "we're in a province that just legislation in banning pronoun changes in schools without parental consent, does it seem likely there are litter boxes in schools". Fuck this province
