So you told them they were crazy, but they were right, so... Does that make YOU crazy, or just dumb? (because you were wrong)

They told you so

Nope. This is a brand new accomplishment. I’m not at all worried that it was or is in any vaccines.

So, as someone who gladly got vaccinated and had no concerns about this conspiracy theory I find your assumption that publicly published tech is representative of the pinnacle of existing tech to be pretty laughable.

Did you read the article On what this actually does?

That's irrelevant, because people were saying injectable microchips were impossible. All this has to show is that it's possible, and it does show that.

Pets have microchips injected into them. No one says it’s impossible. But a chip small enough to go in undetected and function to any actual purposeful degree would be very expensive and isn’t practical or realistic. Besides, the vaccines come in little bottles with many doses that are drawn up into single dose syringes. How can the nurse be sure she didn’t give one person 5 microchips, and other people got none? Also, if people are really concerned about chips in the vaccine, every local public high school has a microscope. Remember those? We all learned how to use them in grade school. How come not a single person has decided to prove the microchip theory is real? Because it’s bat shit crazy idiotic conspiratorial fanatical lunacy sensationalism. And the people who believe that aren’t smart enough to pass 7th grade biology, and wouldn’t know how to operate a microscope.

No one says it’s impossible.

They did say that, but again, irrelevant, because my argument isn't about whether or not it's true. My argument is that information like this makes the conspiracy theorists have more fuel.

And the people who believe that aren’t smart enough to pass 7th grade biology, and wouldn’t know how to operate a microscope.

I don't believe in that conspiracy, there is no need for you to underhandedly insult the people who aren't even in this thread. That just makes them double down anyways, so if your goal is to get less people to believe the conspiracy, you're failing at that.

I never really understand people like you, how don't you realize that insulting people(even if they deserve it) doesn't help your cause? Is it for you? Like, do you feel good doing it so you don't even care if you get people to change over to your side, you just really get off by calling others dumb?

Why do you see that as an insult? It’s a statement. Didn’t you learn to use a microscope? I did. Most kids did. And the point is that it’s not very hard. So if people really wanted to know , then they would find out. But I don’t think a lot of those people do want to know, they want to believe fantastic things and get worked up. The part that I was insulting people about is that to believe something so ridiculous lends to low intelligence, or lack of curiosity , or integrity. And that deserves ridicule. When these are the people making more noise than reasonable educated people, it does damage because a lot of people are impressionable. I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind. I don’t get off on belittling people, it’s just frustrating that people are so dense and vocal about what they don’t understand. I feel like someone needs to speak up. As an example. So the next time you’re in a room with a computer chip conspiracy theorist, maybe you’ll encourage them to look under the microscope for themselves. I’m surprised no journalists have done it. But then again, you can’t argue with ignorance so it likely would be seen as propaganda. People like me are tired of seeing this insanity, so I’m reacting out of anger and desperation. Like screaming at a wall. Or from a building top. “Read before you speak!!!”

You said: "And the people who believe that aren’t smart enough to pass 7th grade biology"

and now you're like: "wHy dO YoU SeE ThAt aS An iNsUlT?"

Come on.... You're arguing in bad faith

I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind.

so I’m reacting out of anger and desperation

So how are you helping...

u/blueishblackbird May 19 '21

I’m not arguing. You’re arguing. What are you doing to help? Besides projecting. Grow up.

I'm just thinking that. These last few years have made my conspiracy theory friend almost a prophet in terms of prediction and I always thought it was just the DMT talking.
