Would love to read some examples! The most offensive things I know about that spring to mind have all been about either money or saving face.

"The Iraq War was for oil" -> the Iraq War was because Dick Cheney felt like it. Noone made any money or got any oil and in general US defense companies make /less/ money during war than peacetime.
"Housing is expensive because Blackstone/BlackRock bought all the houses and is keeping them empty to raise prices" -> very common online and couldn't be less true if it tried.
"X politician gets donations from big tech companies" -> 99% comes from misreading donations on OpenSecrets from /employees of a company/ as if they were the company itself, but employees have different interests than their employer.
