anon was promptly banned
anon puts it very well
They’d have to do actual research instead of conjecture.
I don’t always agree with 4chan but when I do…
I’m shocked, did all of this happen while Brazil was banned? Goddamn I wish the japanese artists I follow left already.
Conspiracy theorists are not about the actual theories. They are about being special. They are smart and figured out monkeys have been inflict the course of human politics since the roman empire. *They * are the only ones who “get it” that bic biro pens have finger print scanners the CIA uses to locate disobedient citizens.
As soon as it becomes confirmed they are no longer special, because everyone “gets it”.
When they say “wake up sheeple”, they wouldn’t know what to do if you “woke up”.
That’s why the idea of wokeism is so repugnant to right-wing conspiracy theorists. The idea that they are the ones asleep but also there are many others who woke up before them is so counter to their own self-image that they will alter their perception of the world before they will allow such a thing to be true.
The only consistency you should expect from the right wing is that they’ll consistently drop their “principles” the instant it’s convenient.
Conspiracy theorists are only interested in the idea of a conspiracy, and lose focus when the conspiracy is found to be true.
I have concepts of a conspiracy.
That’s were all that sweet, sweet serotonin is.
I’ve been saying this for a while. The real malicious actors are right there in the open, telling you what they’re doing. I think people gravitate toward the clearly fake conspiracies because it helps soothe their conscience - clearly their guy is Different, you don’t even have to think about it, right?
There’s also a feeling of “knowing” more than other people. You don’t know about how Albert Einstein and Nikola Tesla invented a time traveling aircraft carrier? Have I got some research that you need to do on your own. But if you did know about it, then it’s junk meant to distract you from what’s really going on.
None of that “knowledge” derives from any level of credible sources, but it does bring a certain level of superiority over people on Facebook. If it’s actually well documented and widely known, then that isn’t something where I get to feel better than other people.
It’s wild how long the Republicans have been plainly stating what their goals are, and people keep looking for alternative, easier to accept explanations.
If someone falsely accuses you of anything, assume they did that first. Investigate the accuser.
Like when someone farts in a conservative household, for all you conservative readers
It’s still crazy to me how much of the bad shit the government has done has been declassified and publicly available and people still just kind of ignore it. Who needs censorship when people are just willing to overlook reality? Or even worse, just make up nonsense.
This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a conspiracy observation.
The Theorying is half the fun
It’s like that Simpsons episode where Homer joins the group to find out what happened to I think a turtle that went missing. When they found out the truth, they got upset because they couldn’t theorize crazy shit anymore.
Yeah, well. That’s just, like, your theory, man.
The tabloids and Congress have the same class interests as Trump and Epstein, and the cranks need the special secret knowledge to feel like special smart boys.
…speaking of special smart boys, I genuinely struggle with how people can’t put these things together, and I’m definitely not one of the great minds of our time.
One statement that always works with republicans: Every accusation is an admission.
I think you accidentally words
There’s no way Elon is as rich as Bezos lol. Does he claim to be the richest person in the world?
Edit: that’s crazy, like literally I’ve never used anything Elon’s companies have produced, and pretty much the whole web uses Amazon web services. Are emerald mines really that profitable? 🤣
Tesla isn’t even in the top 10 for either cars produced or revenue. It being the highest valued car manufacturer in the world is just empty hype.
I think his stocks are inflated on his hype, and if you’re an American your taxes have got to him through NASA.
Can we try to keep the conversation separate? Despite the fact that fucking jackass owns SpaceX, they’ve been good for space tech. Tesla on the other hand haven’t done shit that other companies haven’t done better by now.
Even greentext is a US presidential campaign now.
I think, it’s time to take a break from lemmy till December.
Well, it’s only a bad thing, if the others are doing it. Didn’t you know?
