I guess it’s sarcasm, but it’s hard to imagine what’s supposed to be funny about it.
Currently reading “Brainwashed” by Martin Lindstrom, which explains a lot of how this stuff works to twist people’s minds. He is focused on the positive side of branding, but now it’s easy to see how the same manipulation works on the dark side to destroy reputations. (Funny bit is that the pre-Trump-in-the-WH book singles out Trump as an example of a celebrity whose branding failed miserably.)
My default setting for anything from social media is, “It’s fake.” The more outrageous the claim the more you should question the intelligence/honesty of the poster – some of whom are outrageously good at flat out fakes or posting a bogus context so that a tiny clip appears exactly the opposite of the truth. I’m happy with that as my default social media setting
Or statistics. You know, statistics can be used to prove or disprove anything. “There’s Three Kinds of Lies. Lies. Dam Lies. And Statistics”. ~Mark Twain
Wow, a lot of people are really angry that half the population is not being silenced.
Remember when Hunter Biden’s laptop was a conspiracy theory?How about Covid vaccines dangers – that was a big one.Russian election tampering? Wow, the Durham report is a REALLY big conspiracy.
Actually the difference between a conspiracy theory and reality lately has been 6-12 months.
Amazing that a cult based on the tenet of “you cannot trust the government” still -
- Contributes money to a billionaire/“billionaire” liar and grifter even after they have been shown that his donation website automatically signs them up for repeating donations without their knowledge
- Eats the BS that their cult spews to them like it was free government cheese (as all cults will do but even more so)
- Never ever tries to fact check or bias check the sources it is fed by its cult
- Always trusts and never fact checks or bias checks the sources its podcast pundits and TV media talking heads spout no matter how many times they themselves have admitted that no reasonable person would trust them
And it is all based upon fear mongering and hatred and mistrust so in fact their cult can keep them afraid of any factual information no matter how well documented the information is. And feeds it on the hatred of anything that goes contrary to the cult that tells them to be contrary themselves. And tells them to mistrust any news or opinion or details no matter how valid they maybe. But still feeds them proven falsehoods and outright lies
I was thinking, if I was facing 31 Felony charges, I wouldn’t be in Miami right now. Chile, Argentina maybe, always a popular choice for criminals fleeing justice. We pandas aren’t the smartest animals, but, we know when to stand our ground and when to make a run for it. Might be the best thing for the United States, if the great blob did a dash.
There was no intent to hurt the USA at all . He is like a lot of other past presidents that had papers in their homes when they left the White House . Joe too ! Joe Biden is taking the blame because his old buddy Hillary Clinton is beating the drum to get as much criticism put towards Donald Trump because he won his presidency over her . : (
I like to be told what to be think. Otherwise I would have to think for myself and make decisions and if I do, some of them may be wrong and I might be held responsible (I am not Trump). So if I just do as I am told, I can always say, “I was only following orders.” MAGA /s
“Yeah, but they could be true, right? That’s true, isn’t it. You guys are trying to make me believe I don’t know what other people are talking about. All of you. You’re in it together … "
I have a question. If the Extremely Annoying Orange should go to prison. Would he still have Secret Service protection? How would that work. Maybe Solitary except with an agent or two. Just pondering.
This is an ode to Elon. Twitter has become a sewer of hate, conspiracy mongers and folks who would never been given a platform before his purchase. He’s invited Nazis, white supremacists and other vile haters. I deleted my account within the 1st week he took control of twitter.
OMG, did you hear the Orange Traitor today projecting all of his crimes onto Biden. Does OT think we are all idiots? Sigh, sadly there are some that really are idiots. Those are the kind of people that show up at the gates of Disney World with Nazi flags. Deplorable is far too nice a word for them.

I wish people would stop referring to them as conspiracy theories. The vast majority of them barely qualify as hypotheses.
A more accurate (and deserving) term would be ‘conspiracy fantasies.’
