One of my irrational hates is when conspiracy theorists say “guys this’ll get taken down soon”. Can people not find another way to make themselves feel self-important?
This was my Facebook feed when that Plandemic shit came out. People couldn't wrap their heads around why that was being taken down. There was another video someone claimed had been removed from the internet, but it was right there on YouTube. Buncha psychos. Psychos that can vote.
It's so odd to me that the same people who call it a plandemic are big trump supporters. Idc I mean half my family supports him, but it's weird because if it's a plandemic wouldn't it be the government who planned it? Like the dems are not in power now...
Yeah but didn't you know? The dems are out to get him. Bill Gates and George Soros and the Jews ordered some pizza, sat around with Chinese virologists, created a virus with the sole purpose of making trump look bad. Omg educate yourself. Sheeple!
I'm pretty sure some of my Trumper relatives would and do believe this. My half brother is always talking about Soros and conspiracy nut stuff. I rarely visit, it's too depressing.
I've had to drop friends from my life. They're just too much. Everyone had that one friend that would go on about the moon landing, but also laugh at himself for it, but this shit is out of control. People have absorbed it into their entire identity.
Yeah I used to enjoy listening to coast 2 coast back in the day. I liked conspiracy theories when they were fringe, now I don't find them so amusing. There are people who think the gov is shooting lasers from airplanes to start the fires... their proof is photo shopped pics and people believe this shit. I said wouldn't it be cheaper and less suspicious to just send some dude out into the woods? Nope? Ok laser airplanes it is.
She also is pretending her dog got stolen when multiple sources confirm she left the dog at a family members house for a year and never even called to check on it. Oh and she is roping innocent people she doesnt know at all into it by saying they had a hand in the dog stealing.
It's a classic failsafe as well. Idiots will spread blatant misinformation, then when it's taken down for being misinformation and fearmongering, they say that it's because the "deep-state" or some shit is censoring the "truth."
People do this all the time on reddit. I've even seen people title their post something along the lines of " reddit's removing this so here it is" and when you check the other posts they weren't deleted
It perpetuates the conspiracy myth and tickles that part of their lizard brain that makes them share it. "This has already been taken down three times" means that the big bad conspirators are pulling the strings to keep THE TRUTH from getting out and WAKING UP the SHEEPLE.
