I swear the only way to get ppl to take facts seriously is going to be by presenting them as conspiracies at this point
America (western culture in general?) is quite literally reverting to superstition based analysis, all vibes no critical reasoning.
Yeah and conspiracies are literally all pervasive at this point. I think covid isolation pushed ppl online a lot more and broke a whole lot of brains
Hadn’t thought about the pushing people online aspect, I think we’ve known for a while what the negative effects are but not until now has it become so pervasive we can see the effects en mass
Yeah I've seen at least two studies showing that no matter what stuff you're into online, the algo pushes you into the right-wing and into conspiracies, which both tend to overlap. I know FB and YT shifted their algos in 2019 (and obvs X later) after RWers threw a fit that they were "biased" against conservative hate-content. Now it's like no matter what I watch on YT I get anti trans and RW bullshit. I literally never click on them, yet they keep getting pushed
The democrats don't want you to know this, but a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The SECRET TRUTH about JFK's assassination THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW: Lee Harvey Oswald worked alone. Watch this before THEY TAKE IT DOWN
The bit doesn't work if you post incorrect stuff. Everyone knows what actually happened was that his head just did that
They used teeks to pop his head like Scanners
i saw that video of "balls of light transforming into airplaines". it's literally a plane coming at the camera head on, so it looks like a white light, then it turns, so it looks like the white light is transforming into a plane when it's so far away and some shitty phone camera is zoomed all the way in
as far as all the drones go, i don't know but that video is clearly not what all these people were freaking out about
Yeah, approaching planes with their landing lights on look like points of (relatively) stationary light when they're far away, but as they get closer the lights are angled away from your field of vision and are less intense, and it's obviously a plane.
I live near an airport and to this day I still mistake approaching planes for bright stars.
I just don't get how they're not tired of this. There's one of these at least once per year and every time The Big One never happens. You'd think that after a few times people would get sick of it and just tune out any future doomsdays but there's always an audience for the next one
it feels like they're desperately trying to relive the days of hysteria around Government Control during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives
during covid that swept up a lot of the less extreme conservatives
it's funny because once the happenings actually started they insisted the disease was fake
we're gonna have actual fucking gray aliens abducting people in front of our eyes and they'll think the aliens are fake, and that instead the FBI sprayed LSD in the chemtrails to MKultra their entire neighborhood
it's funny because once the happenings actually started they insisted the disease was fake
The thing is I know quite a few conservatives (mostly family members and people I work with) who were initially scared about the news reports of covid deaths during January and February of 2020. Then Trump and RW media pundits made it clear what their stance on covid was, and they all fell in line saying it was fake or overblown.
These people are all told what to think.
And now liberals and even a few leftists are convinced covid is overblown and no measures are needed.
Do you think it’s just ingrained contrarianism that causes this? I’m always amazed when the narrative flips on a dime like that and all memories of the previous one seem to get erased to them.
Reaching for another Chinese Spy Balloon™
The orbs turn into planes because the camera actually focuses on them dumbass
So this is all just a remake of those "ghost orb" photos which is just out of focus dust lol
Reminds me of when one of the local news channels in my city did a story about how viewers were blowing up the station's phone claiming to see a ghost moving about in view of the station's outdoor weather camera. They did some investigating and it turned out a spider had built its web across the camera's lens. The "ghost" was in fact the spider showing up as an out-of-focus grey blob moving across the camera view.
NO ISSA SPOOKY GHOST
country of oafs
YEP i fucking hate it here
I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHS, I LOVE THE DUPLICITOUS WORLD OF IMAGES, I LOVE THE IMAGE AS A SEMBLANCE OF KNOWLEDGE, I LOVE PLATO'S CAVE
Ceci n'est pas une UFO
behold, a man!
Quick, blur this and upload it as a drone sighting
Is Charlie Kirk an insane conspiracist now? Didn’t he used to just be your run of the mill Shapiro type
They all are like this
I wonder if the Shapiro types just aren't that popular any more/are losing their billionaire funding and this is Kirk's attempt to pivot to a new audience, so to speak.
It does seem like the Shapiros are losing steam in favor of the Alex Jones type. The next most popular are gaming streamers like Asmongold who do dumb guy centrism and allow the right-wing to guide them in their direction
The hogs love this shit
It always comes from a "anonymous" "whistleblower" off fucking 4chan talking about underwater pyramids building UFOs and coming to abduct white people.
I have a VERY reliable anonymous source with definitive proof that the UFOs over New Jersey are actually just the Nintendo Switch 2. (I will post proof later, I promise.) /s
Wait, your cousin works at Nintendo and totally told you the inside scoop, too?
Its actually my girlfriend's dad. My girlfriend lives in Canada, and she already has a PlayStation 7, and she lets me play with it every time I go to Canada.
You are the coolest kid for the next week and a half
Pre-roll is not a term anyone in news uses
1g preroll
some of these “drones” are just stars lmao https://bsky.app/profile/bnonews.com/post/3ldca2qzjkc2h
that is so wild some Amerikkkans are so detached from reality they don't know what stars look like anymore
Light pollution is awful, even in areas that are pretty rural sometimes. Stargazing is difficult outside of state parks and national forests where I’m from
They’re preparing right up until Christmas Eve for that red menace, S Claus.
Biden's last act as president will be re-igniting the war on christmas, but it's real this time
It's all just viral marketing for another independence day movie
Erik did a great video on project blue beam
Yeah, chuds are literally fucking crazy.
Bounced on my boy's blue beam to this
project blue beam
Does Erik ever break character as ironic Alex Jones? I'm not watching 20 minutes of that shit.
edit: I skipped ahead a bunch. He does not.
As real as the money in my bank account...
Slop.
