America wasn't built by slavery.

So... Given this is an international website with the majority of countries in the world represented are you restricting this to USA lies or are you allowing the biggest lies from other countries?

The biggest lie I'm aware of is the belief that China is a communist country.

It took you 6 posts to figure that out?

Black guys got big dicks. (Some might say this was started by black dudes but im sure it was a white guy with a teeny weenie.)

That being said, I'm black from the waist down. True story.

If you don't know the difference between welfare and a veterans pension then you are not to be taken seriously in a grown up political debate.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.....just keep telling yourself that comrade!!!

I'm guessing he's one of those "REAL socialism has never even been tried much less communism." types.

Totally ignoring the definitions of socialism and communism.

Biden gave a eulogy at a "former" Klansman's funeral ffs!

If Trump had done this, the fact that the guy was a "former" Klansman would have been irrelevant, once a racist-always a racist eh?! Dems and the MSM would have had a field day with it.

If you don't know how to use apostrophes and hyphens properly, you are not to be taken seriously on a grown-up literary site.

women think men's dicks are as important as they do

not a lie, but the reasons why...

so many are happy to embrace the big lies: we are programmed from birth, from religious tenets to santa, politicians to news media to how we should strive to make as much money as possible because there's nothing more desirable than all the trappings of wealth and power.

https://www.yahoo.com/now/still-won-t-admit-why-091320462.html

There are other big lies, of course. Some are related to the religious lies—like the divine right of kings or the lie that the clergy somehow are more in touch with truth than, say, scientists who actually devote their lives to studying the truth. Some come from political leaders. For example, the lie that to die in war is glorious is one that has done irreparable damage for eons. It has been disproven for thousands of years and yet remains so essential to getting young men and women to give up their lives to serve the ambitions of the rich and powerful that it endures. You know many of the other lies that have lived for centuries—about the superiority of races or genders or nationalities, about patriotism, about comforting ideas like that everything is for the best or things work out in the end. It’s not. They don’t. Read a book.

We dress these lies up in protective cloaks. You will burn in Hell for all eternity if you don’t believe one set of lies. You are betraying your country if you don’t believe in the merits of a particular war. Don’t question your elders. If a teacher says it it must be true. Priests and rabbis and imams are tighter with the Alleged Almighty than you. (Do you capitalize the “a” in alleged when you are using it to question the existence of a God?)

All these lies are aided and abetted by the fact that simply believing in what you are told to believe is much easier than actually figuring out the truth. What is more, if your family and friends believe in a lie, challenging that lie might make you an outcast, might alienate those with whom you have or wish to have a bond. With the advent of social media, where like-minded friends become “editors” and select the news their followers see, lies spread among audiences inclined to believe and thereby endorse them. We live in an age of media “echo-systems”, ecosystems that reinforce disinformation spreading it from dubious sources like QAnon to Facebook to TV propaganda networks to you.

And of course, when lots and lots of people adhere to a lie it is seemingly validated. And to help that along for millennia, the purveyors of lies have made it clear that not believing those lies makes one an other, apart, the enemy, an infidel. It’s not just wrong to question these big lies, by doing so you actually side with evil, with the enemy. We have created a world divided and left bloody by the differences between the lies to which different groups of people adhere.
