Do I understand why no one trusts anything any government tells us? Of course I do. Are there actual conspiracies in this world? Of course there are.

However, due to social media and every single half-wit on the planet now being able to broadcast to the world their oh so precious, vital, well-reasoned and deeply profound thoughts, everything- EVERYTHING- is a conspiracy.

A couple of the latest examples: Kate Middleton's video on her having cancer. Oh, let's enlarge the background and examine the blurred-out tulips. They're not moving! And those who aren't familiar with motion-blur artifacts in video see one of her fingers disappear when she moves her hand! AI!! It's all AI!! The video is not real!! Kate Middleton is dead!!

The bridge collapse- just one of many examples of window lickers turned into Sherlock Fucking Holmes: a video shot from a small boat, apparently to examine the wreckage. Look, folks! Do you see it?? Look closely at the video! Do you see it??

Fucking see WHAT, Monsieur Poirot? Just cut the melodramatic bullshit and TELL US what you are pointing out, you fucking drooling nimrod.

Oh, look, it's the number "33" and an "iron cross"!! And there are some sparks! Do you see them??

Fucking what??? Imagine that- broken electrical wires shorting out after a bridge with lights strung across it collapses . And the "iron cross" shit- I don't even know where to begin with that.

I swear to God, I swear, if I was in the same room with you, it would take ten men to pull me off of you. I swear to God, I would throttle the life out of you unless they stopped me.

Stop this stupid shit. Stop behaving as if you possess some deep, clairvoyant insight which allows you to divine truths which escape we mere mortals. Stop it. You don't know jack shit. If you want to have childish fantasies, get your mom to arrange a play date with the other kids in the neighborhood.

You know nothing. You look like a fool. You make declarations which are usually not possible to disprove directly, and you use these circumstances to try to inflate yourself into something you are not and never will be. No one admires you for this stupid shit, except other imbeciles.

Lee Harvey Oswald killed Jack Kennedy. One man, one rifle.

Marilyn Monroe committed suicide.

Between 1969 and 1972, the United States successfully landed men on the Moon.

The Earth is not flat.

There are no space aliens in Area 51

And on and on.

Stop it, before someone you've never seen before tries to strangle you.

Amen, brother, a-MEN!

You wrote about how important Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter was in saving us from censorship. And it's true. But, oh manoman, is it hard to get through Twitter/X now, especially after October 7.

Preach it!

Some people have dialed up their inner IndyFFL to 11, and are reading tea leaves and divining things devoid of reality. Long-term members will understand what an insult that is.

Sandy hook didn't actually happen! It was an inside job!

I am 100% convinced the ammo shortage after it did happen though. I have the receipts to prove it.

I have been patiently waiting for this post from you, thank you.

Sean Combs. I said SEAN COMBS, not "Diddy" not "P. Diddy" not "Puff Daddy" or any of that stupid shit that any adult should be ashamed to say. Sean Combs.

Them: "They raided his homes."

Me: "Yes, I know."

Them: "What are they trying to distract us from?"

Oh, GodDAMN!!!!

The best one I’ve seen this week is that the bridge collapse was done to distract from “Diddy” being raided on child molestation charges. Totally serious.

Can we keep the Taylor Swift conspiracy theories? Puh-leeezzz?

The Daily Soap Operas...

"What are they trying to distract us from?"

The Reality Shows.

Occams Razor.
Hard to beat the odds.

Like Para, I see some drummed up conspiracy shit and I suspect there are some real conspiracy shit. The drummed up conspiracy shit are annoying. They point to non specific stuff, make allusions to some significance, and pretending they know something.

The stupidest one was early during Covid. Someone passed on a text saying the government will be spraying something from helicopters that night and to stay inside. I pointed out to the person that in 2020 or whenever that was, don’t they think the government has better ways to broadcast a message than to rely on people sharing by text?


It goes with my position that people should apply skeptical critical thinking even with or especially with information from sources supposedly on our side.

These fake conspiracy bullshit takes attention away from the real possible conspiracies.

Everything

So fucking stupid

Thanks Para.

I have a couple of family members who buy into a lot of this crap. Then they talk to or text amongst themselves and just reinforce their insanity.

5G "Radiation"? Big Pharma? New World Order? Name the issue or event and they suspect there's some sinister force behind it.

Today was no different. It was either terrorists or a Deep State diversion, maybe both.

I had an exchange elsewhere with someone who said the Sun is 30 miles in diameter and 30,000 miles away. He or she seemed 100% serious, not tongue-in-cheek, about it.

Yep. A couple of my aforementioned family members believe it. When I heard about it, I said "Haven't they ever been on an airplane?"

Wait, Paul McCartney didn’t die in 1967? The cover of Sgt Pepper wasn’t the Beatles standing over his grave and the cover of Abbey Road wasn’t a funeral procession???

Okay, I was right there with you until you typed this. See, the aliens live on another flat disk just below ours. That's why we cannot find them with a telescope.

I heard something about a lead smelter shutting down…

It's always funny how things that happen just can't happen that way without a conspiracy. I read that the boat couldn't have drifted into that bridge, it had to be a cyber attack.
And famous people don't die of natural causes. There is always a nefarious plot behind every death.

Hey, Lara Logan's multiple intel sources said it was an "absolutely brilliant strategic attack".
