Whether they crave internet points or run out of arguments in a heated discussion, some people BS way too much. But the overwhelming amount of lies shouldn't discourage us from calling them out. On the contrary. Think of it as herd immunity: the population is protected from a disease (a fake narrative) after vaccination (a response) by stopping the germ responsible for the infection being transmitted between people (destroying that absurd fantasy with facts).
There's even a whole subreddit dedicated to this noble quest, /r/quityourbullshit. With over 1.3M members, it accumulated a large collection of screenshots and images of people calling out BS, delivering burns so big, they might just set your screen on fire.

Quit Your Bullsh*t Peta, Going Agains Steve Irwin
Peta is America's number one petkilling machine, just because Ingrid Newkirk believes that people shouldn't have pets. So People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have found a simple solution: If you kill all pets, they can't be treated unethical again. It sounds sarcastic but it's the sad truth.

This is just a collection of stupidities, and there are many of them indeed. However, please, remember social media and the world is much bigger than this. (This is supposed to be an optimistic comment, btw. But take it as you will ♥)
Daria B- I enjoyed your comment and knew that you meant it to be optimistic. Please ignore the bitter troll who thought to act as your English professor. The lack of understanding lies not in your comment but in her lack of comprehension and empathy.
Thank you! Don't worry, I actually didn't care that much anyway. I had actual English professors in university, who were nice and skilful people. Linguistics is my field of expertise and I know exactly why I chose those words and expressions. ♥
Wendy..you need a T-shirt that says "I'm silently correcting your grammar." The key word is SILENTLY!

Just remove the first sentence and “However, please, remember”. Tighter messaging with no distractions, focused on the point you want to make. You don’t need to show you are smart/savvy before you say something hopeful. Just be hopeful.
How about not correcting everyone just to make yourself look better. Just take the comment as is. We're not all English/grammar Nazi's.
While it is easy to dismantle most lies noawadays, it has become so easy to create them. And sensationalist sharing seemingly legitimates them. The only cure is to be vigilant. And to punish those who spread lies with no further attention. Imagine everyone doing it... Populists and their media appearances would disappear in no time.
Wait! I went through the entire set of 40 - no bananas like in the lead-in photo on the main page of BoredPanda. Or did I just miss a hidden call-BS moment?

Ah, thanks, Blondhorsecrazy. I'll check that out!
Hey, so once you click on the link that opens up the rest of the posts, the banana one is #59. No comments on it except for mine so far...
I was looking g for them too. About 1/4 of these are anti-vax comments.
I specifically came looking for that banana post too. (I'm an anti-slavery activist, so I was alarmed to see this as an example of a fake picture, as that would discredit our movement.) Also, yeah - as much as I hate anti-vaxxers, too many posts on the exact same topic gets a bit samey...
