What in the name of the Illuminati is going on here? And why in the name of Alex Jones are you usually reliable nutters not freaking the heck out?

    It’s almost as if they’re bad-faith hypocrites who will drop any supposed values the instant it’s convenient for consolidating their power.

    Now we know who’s been helping Russia spread their bullshit propaganda all over social networks for the last decade.

    What’s crazy is that we call them social networks without batting an eye… But don’t hold them to the same standards of a broadcast network, which would have prevented a lot of the shit show we’re in

    Conspiracy theorists are quiet cause there is no conspiracy to unearth here LOL. Elmo has literally bought US President and he is openly running (ruining ?) the government as his personal office. He even provides regular public updates at his personal platform X on how he is destroying US government institution by institution!

    It’s just a totem pole of different psychotic groups giving orders

    On top, the “0.1%” being a vague amalgamation of Corpo and Tech Fascists, who are looking to basically seperate themselves from society. And gain a form of Sovereignty overtop of the government itself, with their territory not being states and nations but their own networks of followers. Primarily through Social Media , Television and Internet.

    Then there’s the government, That is populated with slackjawed knuckle dragging chuds who want to roll on a vague Ultranationalist-Jingoism-Ultraconservative ticket.

    these two groups basically think they control the other, but more or less co-exist and let the other think they’re in charge.

    And then below both of these groups are the diehard, dimwitted followers who are supporting them either because they think they’re going to get rich by doing so, or because they want to “own” someone.

    and beyond that… it starts to become everyone else.

      Whew that shattered off a fragment of my mind. It’s ironic that we say they want to own (get one over on) the libs, but what they really want is to do is own (enslave) an outgroup.

    Why don’t you ask individual people what they think, instead of dealing with huge generalities and stereotypes that don’t really apply to anyone in particular.

    Same set of dipshits that form groups like the oathkeepers, etc and stockpile weapons against a tyrannical government, but constantly advocate for everything counter to this country’s people and for a tyrannical government…

    Also the same set of dipshits that make up bullshit about “child trafficking” when it comes to Democrats, but embrace people like donvict, Gaetz, and so on…

    No one should be surprised at all.

      Or… They’re only interested in conspiracy theories when those theories reinforce their own persecution complexes.

      The twist here is that Musk’s shenanigans are going to seriously fuck them over, but they don’t realize it yet.

    Because all this is happening out in the open, there’s no secret conspiracy.

    A conspiracy theorist thrives on being one of the few who know the actual truth.

      It’s specifically about being against the narrative. George Bush could come out and say he did 9/11 to destroy Hillary Clinton’s checks to Jeffrey Epstein saying “For child prostitutes/adrenochrome” and they would go on about how that’s just a psyop to make people go back into quarantine

    Not really the type of conspiracy they go for, it’s being done overtly, visibly, and in a way that everyone believes it is going on. Most of the “fun” of crazy conspiracies is that you have to convince everyone that you aren’t crazy, that it’s totally happening, and your proof is real… none of that is necessary here, they are plainly stating what they are doing, no smoke, no mirrors. Just blatant criminal power grabbing.

    Because most conspiracy theorists are right-wing, and only have issues with anything remotely left of Margaret Thatcher, if MT didn’t somehow become “too far-left” due to how the Overton Window moved further to the right…

      I think that’s true now, but I don’t think it was necessarily true prior to The Demented Rapist descending the escalator.

      A good government coverup is fodder for both sides, but after 2016 with all the Qanut stuff they just went absolutely banapants crazy.

        My brothers one of them. Thinks cuz he lucked out on Bitcoin he won’t have to pay taxes of the government falls, so he’s stoaked about it. Thinks he’ll never have to work again cuz a lack of regulation means he keeps it all when he sells em. Also was genuinely happy when I called him an Anarcho capitalist… Grown ass man, still a simpleton
