- **FALSEHOOD: "[Java](java.md) is highly [portable](portability.md)"**: While Java runs on several platforms, it's inefficiency and overhead of its extremely high level programming makes it unusable on devices with limited resources such as [embedded systems](embedded.md). Its [bloated](bloat.md) nature and high number of dependencies limit it to running on a few types of **mainstream** devices that are privileged to have the Java virtual machine implemented.
- **FALSEHOOD: "[C](c.md) is not [portable](portability.md)"**: C is extremely portable if written [correctly](lrs.md) (e.g. without dependencies), in fact it is probably the **most portable language in history** because firstly a C compiler is available for almost any platform -- a C compiler is one of the most essential things to have -- and secondly because C is extremely efficient and will run even on devices with extremely limited resources such as [embedded systems](embedded.md).
- **FALSEHOOD: "[Capitalism](capitalism.md) fuels [progress](progress.md)"**: [Monopolies](monopoly.md) that inevitably arise in capitalism want to forever prevent others from creating innovations that would make the subject of their business obsolete (e.g. fossil fuel businessmen will want to prevent electric cars). Of course, small businesses cannot compete with large corporations, therefore corporations win and keep the status quo. Small businesses can mostly only succeed in creating [bullshit](bullshit.md) that exists for its own sake (there is e.g. an online store selling literal shit) -- this we would not call a progress. Furthermore capitalism is against the important kind of progress such as social progress or education, because of course educated, independent and mature people would engage less in consumerism and even realize that capitalism is bad.
- **FALSEHOOD: "[Feminism](feminism.md), [LGBT](lgbt.md), [Antifa](antifa.md) and similar are leftist movements"**: These are in fact [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md), [fascist](fascism.md) movements who don't care about true equality but rather privileges for a certain minority, just as the Italian fascist or Nazis did. This is proven by their [naming](name_matters.md) and means of operation such as violence, censorship, bullying etc. which are anti-equality.
- **FALSEHOOD: "Professional programmers are good programmers"**: The opposite is true, professionals are those who get paid for writing the [shittiest code](capitalist_software.md) imaginable, their aim is to make things quickly, satisfy metrics, they destroy and rape technology for profit and adhere to corporate [bullshit](bullshit.md). No skill beyond literacy is needed to do what they do, that's why we call them code monkeys, they don't and even cannot see programming as [art](art.md), they see it as something to be exploited for making living. Actual good programmer cannot psychologically bear doing this, so you cannot be a good and professional programmer at the same time, not in [21st century](21st_century.md).
- **FALSEHOOD: "Rich people are smart and vice versa"**: It's the other way around, see [IQ](iq.md).
- **FALSEHOOD: "Some celebrities are good people"**: Celebrities, nearly by definition, can never be good people. A lot of people seem to acknowledge that most celebrities are probably assholes, but almost everyone has that one favorite celebrity he thinks is "different", an "exception" -- it ought to be said there are no exceptions among celebrity assholes, in the same sense and by same principles by which there exist no ethical [corporations](corporation.md) or altruistic billionaires. Fame is a kind of [capital](capital.md) that's being [fought](fight_culture.md) for, it's impossible to get a celebrity status without active effort, a fight which ALWAYS comes with taking unethical steps, therefore only immoral individuals can ever become celebrities. Being known for exceptional abilities is one thing, but being a celebrity -- e.g. having one's face being shown to others frequently -- is another thing which has nothing to do with being good at something, it's solely about building one's image, taking opportunities, exploiting the system, being in right places (something that actually becomes the focus of said individual before getting better at his art). If a good man has an opportunity to become celebrity, he will willingly turn it down exactly because he is good and knows that being a celebrity is bad. So no, your celebrity is not special, he's an asshole like all other celebrities. Never worship [celebrities](hero_culture.md).
- **FALSEHOOD: "Rational arguments, logic and civilized discussions are a superior tools capable of refuting or proving most things."** This stuff only work as long as we're firstly discussing things within boundaries of rationality and have sufficient data and tools of proofs (i.e. basically never), secondly if both sides in addition to that have truth as highest priority before anything else (nowadays never the case, priority is some other goal, mostly self interest -- it is always the case that if one doesn't ever want to be proven wrong, he can't be proven wrong) and thirdly if both sides understand rationality, can use it efficiently and agree on what rationality even is (which axioms to accept, which methods of proof are acceptable etc., all of which are irrational choices by the way).
