Idiots and voting against their own best interests
That's currently a worldwide phenomenon.
Not true - Australia did it right.
I wish you were wrong
How is it that 2020 was more normal than 2025
My brother is one of these idiots, I dunno how they got him. He's not part of the militia group but dipshit thinks a local radio tower that just went up is part of the weather control system...
Have you considered sharing more of your crayons? You can fix him
The crayons are mine. They sustain me.
USMC?
Nah.
Missed opportunity
Aaaand that's how we got here, then
Conspiracy theorists tend to fall in one of two categories, specially if it seems like a sudden change:
-
They're lonely and the people in the group are very welcoming to them.
-
They feel they need to prove how smart they are, and think they're smarter than everyone who dismisses their theory.
I'm sorry for you
This is what happens when you don't fund science education.
This is what happens when you remove the fairness doctrine and allow the alt-right propaganda "news" machine go unchecked.
Wasn't the fairness doctrine right wing propoganda already? iirc the point was to give 1 anti-vaxer the same voice as every single pro-vaxination researcher on earth combined.
There is a saying that reality and facts have a liberal bias. When Nixon was in the process of being impeached, conservatives found that if they can control the narrative, the facts, then they can control the conversation. It's no accident that they went to attack the fairness doctrine and it finally fell under Reagan.
It may have had a right wing bias, but they are the ones that got rid of it because they wanted to protect their echo chamber

no, this is what no child left behind does for 20 unchallenged years.

I was really unprepared for how stupid the future would be.
Shouldn't vets know what radar is?
"Vet" covers everyone from Air Force Tower Controllers to Navy Seals to the guy in charge of records in a basement in Alaska and more.
For 4 years active duty and 4 years reserve most people are involved in logistics or records, and few of those have to know anything about radar.
I did not know that.
I presumed it meant you'd been on the front lines, or seen combat.
You're not far off as it is the second definition of the word. "Vietnam vet" "Gulf war vet" etc.
In that context it just means deployed to ths conflict. Sometimes it means contributed to the effort while in the military. So someone who cooked on base in Vietnam would be a Vietnam vet, but someone who enlisted during the Korean war but was sent to Japan wouldn't be a korea vet.
Radicalizing Antenna Disguised As Radiotower
Duuuuuuuuuh 🤣
These are the same people attacked 5G towers during COVID
I'm not sure they are rational
What will they do when 6G comes out
Loads of veterans are victims with PTSD who might attack a car if it backfires
Without proper mental health treatment, loads of vets may dissociate into mania.
Tomorrow's news: Trump appoints radar 'weather weapon' blogger to head up NOAA.
This extremest group almost makes Trump look sane.
An armed militarized group planning potential attacks on a federal government entity... Why would the FBI not be picking every one of those idiots up?
Because the FBI is currently run by some of these idiots.
Yeah, he literally sells bs covid vaccine reversal pills hahaha!
Haven't you heard, we're not funding the FBI this year...
It is actually kind of weird to think about. Conservatives typically typically like police and the milliary.
It depends. They're funding ICE instead of the FBI because the former is more ideologically aligned with Trump.
There's definitely no net defunding of the Police State. What were seeing is a shift of resources to the right gustapo
The United States: Into Darkness.
A people manipulated and driven to the edge of Discovery and Dishonesty. We will turn the lights out to fear that which we know... But in the darkness there is nothing to find but our people's vengeful hatred of each other. Ignorance is the weapon, and the lights shall stay out.
So what does man do? We starve. We suffer. We bleed, and then when all else is lost we scream. Not out of fear; for that is already gone. We scream because we are already in hell. And it's the devil staring us in the face designing the torture.
We aren't a phoneix, we don't rise from the dead. We are supposed to be humanity; and it's lost past time we become it. If you think humanity was designed to be built in the image of God. Are you mistaken?
I'm an idiot
Neitzshche is dead.
God is an Idea
too busy picking up every farm and construction worker they can
MAGAts are complete idiots.
AND brainwashed!
Wait until they hear about the 6G anal probes.
...I wanna hear about 6G anal probes...
For science, of course.
Due to my job with an unnamed government entity, I am unable to disclose the immense pleasure that is coming your way. O_o
That sounds like something an institution that deploys weather weapons would say.
~~climate change and polution~~
Government conspiracy
