Here’s a fun one:

“No one actually opposes nationalism and colonialism, the anti-Zionists on campuses and online are actually all Soviet plants conducting a sophisticated psyop.”

Never mind the fact this is a conspiracy theory to avoid reordering your worldview to consider the fact that large swaths of the public don’t support the bombing of Gaza. And never mind that this is a thought-stopping attempt to avoid confronting the fact that an ideology you support is reproduced through genocide and ethnic cleansing. Also never mind the fact the USSR hasn’t existed in decades.
