Well, it is in our TiBB calendar, so it deserves a thread:

June 5th is Festival Of Popular Delusions Day. To understand the
holiday, you must be familiar with D-Day. If you’ve been living under a
rock, new to the planet, or suffering from delusions of your own, let me
remind you: D-Day was June 6, 1944 — the day of the Normandy invasion
which cracked the Nazi grip on the planet.

In Germany on June 5th, 1945 (the year after D-Day– yet one day before
the anniversary of D-Day), the Festival Of Popular Delusions Day began.
This day marks the Nazi’s plan for world domination — the Popular
Delusion of the day — right before its fall. A reminder that
delusions and delusional leaders can be dangerous. They too can be
‘cracked’ and reality will force them to fall to an invasion of reality.

It’s a day for ourselves to perform a reality check not only on our
selves as individuals, but take a look at the popular ideas of the day.
Are we living with delusions? Among delusionary leaders? If so, we
should be making our own plans to shatter the delusional holds upon us.
Today we celebrate Popular Delusions Day with some serious thought to
the matter.

So share in here some popular delusions... if you will

I'm sick of conspiracy theorists and crackpots telling me he doesn't exist.

It wasn't a pleasant experience.

It was like falling out of a Russian helicopter in a radiation-contaminated, overgrown, sub-tropical bayou with a leaking sewer line flowing freely into it

So that's where Godzilla came from

Speaking of delusions though I once stumbled onto the flat earth society's forum. That was fun.

In ROUNDabout way, yes it did. Luckily its SPHERE of influence doesn't extend much beyond pockets of western society.

But I'm not, of course.

One I had when I was a kid (which terrified me) was if I looked out of the window on Halloween night, I'd see a witch flying across the sky.

I always made an effort to avoid making eye contact with the window on Halloween.

The youngsters at my kids school have brought Bloody Mary back... there is a delusion past down through the ages
