Several anti-physics myths are quite common in the modern world, or more generally anti-science myths with almost no evidence to support them.
1. The "Geneva Convention" Myth that Military targets or people can be usefully or justifiably bombed while Civilian targets cannot be usefully or justifiably bombed. After WWII, the "winning" nations attempted to explain Nazi atrocities as due to their Military, even though Hitler and his SS and Gestapo were all Civilian people/organizations which seized power by destroying and/or captivating the Military. Likewise, Stalin, Mao, and most Dictators in history were Civilians with their own Civilian Secret Police which took over the Military.
2. The My of Non-Referendum "Democracy" (Democracy not based on Public Referendums in most decision-making) has no consistent meaning. If one elects a President or Senator or Congressman for 2 to 6 years and turns over the decision-making to him, one literally has "pass-the-buck" or "pass-the-responsibility" Dictatorship, regardless of whether one re-elects the person after the expiration of a fixed time period. With propaganda and stage-managed pre-elections, election and re-election are literally based on the "best" propaganda either in the whole nation or in the local area of particular voters.
