"This brave little girl was fighting of Canadian police during the 2022 anti-lockdown protests in Canada!"
Except she wasn't. The picture was taken in 2018. In Germany. At a public training day for new recruits for a local police force.
For people who claim they always conduct 'their own research!' rightwing people are really bad in doing their own research. In above case a simple reverse image search revealed the true story behind the picture.
This wasn't the only time that some right wing idiots used a child to 'prove' a point they don't actually have. They even claimed to have captured a video of a abducted child escaping Buckingham Palace!
It was soon debunked. The 'secretly taped footage' was simply a scene from a television series.
This xenofoob takes stupidity to a higher level: He actually seems to think people will believe him if he shows them that in Italy truckers suddenly drive on the left side of the road, instead of on the right as they have ever since memory serves. But people actually fell (and probably still fall) for this person's lies.
Again, a simple Reverse Image Search would teach them
this picture was taken near Kent (click), England and does not show truckers protesting Covid-rules. But truckers waiting in line to get accross to the mainland. Which is harder to do because half the population of England decided to believe a handful of populists, followed them like the sheep they are and are now stuck with 'Brexit'.
Here are a few more examples of rightwing people spreading false information ('Fake news!', their hero and savior Donald Trump likes to call it) on purpose. Knowing the majority of their followers is too stupid to do any kind of research and will simply repeat the narrative they want them to repeat.
For some reason President Obama is a favourite target for Trump fans, conspiracy believers, neo-nazi's, hypocrites and other evangelicals.
Like when they spread this information:
Some right wing people know the news is fake but by far most sheep will simply take it as a fact, believe and spread it. They're not 'critical thinkers' but simply simple minded people who shout they're against something, hoping it makes them belong to a group.
And here's the picture of the guy in Black Panther outfit before someone edited Obama's face in it:
For years they have seen Fox Entertainmentchannel do it succesfully. Fox spreads lies with so much succes that most people watching Fox with their Maga cap on don't even realize Fox is owned by extremely rich foreigners and their cap is made in China.
The answer to the question: 'Why do people lie to prove a point?' is:
To hide the fact they know they don't have a point.
Challenge for my readers: provide examples of how and when 'the left' lied and manipulate to prove a non-existing point.
