If I were a ghoul at Nestle, I would have spent the past couple decades propping up the shittiest local water utilities, lobbying to make sure their shittiest policies are kept and their most generous programs abolished. Having a local entity with a monopoly on providing water to the area is often the worst of both worlds in the US. You get the inflexibility of a government bureaucracy because they have no reason to improve and you get the shady billing practices of a corporation because of the insistence that we not just give people water for free. When it comes time to privatize your local water supply, many people will be chomping at the bit to bring in “competition” because they hate their local utility so much.

once a year on tic tok an account with very few previous post calls for a general strike without ever saying the words general strike. they get hundreds to tens of thousands of likes. they plan a date like 6 months in advance and its always so stupid and at most results in some people pre planing to take that day off. this is the cia's doing. to annoy me personally.

I believe there is a benefit to the ruling class that is happening through bigger TVs and bigger couches to accommodate the tvs.
Namely, that we sit further apart from each other now, and it decreases the overall oxytocin levels we used to share cuddling with our loved ones, further atomizing and alienating us so we can be sold more and more useless crap to fill the void.

Margaret Thatcher probably fucked a dog and killed it. She just seems like the kind of person that would do that, and she was tight with Pinochet.
I still believe the old internet semi-hoax Ong's Hat about how some Berkley scientists in the 1970s used quantum physics, sensory deprivation tanks, and Buddhist sex magick to teleport themselves to an alternate universe.
A lot of the sillier conspiracies are propagated by alphabet agencies to make the more reasonable ones look unreasonable. "Oh you think JFK was killed by the government? What's next, the moon is hollow?"
There's plenty of unclassified documents proving them doing exactly this with UFOs to hide weapons testing, driving people to paranoia and mental breakdowns
The world trade center buildings collapsed on their own due to shoddy, cost saving construction shortcuts. It was just a coincidence that a couple planes flew into them right before that
Paul Wellstone was assassinated, pretty sure I've said this one last time the thread came up.
Big foot is real but he likes to fuck you
Trader Joes pouposely builds thier parking lots small to make them seem more popular than they really are
Mircle whip is expired mayo. The extra tang flavour os just time
Ryder, from Paw Patrol, is just Bruce Wayne as a kid. How else do you explain the no parents and huge sums of money to build high-tech compunds/forts accros Adventure Bay and other places.
Car Dealerships are regulated into forced existence as a glorified extortion racket for the GOP. Virtually all car dealerships have right wing owners, and they're some of the most common "big" donors for local elections. Build society around the road forcing everyone to need a car, pass a law where people can only get cars from dealerships, and you basically have a situation where nearly every member of society has to give money to an institution that the right wing gets to skim off the top of, giving them the financial primitive accumulation to maintain local power forever.
Ancient historians actually got most things right, we just teach that they didn't because capitalists want people to think the world works in boring ways only experts can understand. Nah man, Rome was called that because Romulus founded it. Simple as.
I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media
no it was creepy before social media, we just talked about it out in the woods around a big black pot instead of in front of you.
Supernatural phenomena (UFOs, bigfoot, vampires, etc.) are mostly only on Earth for tax evasion purposes.
Prigozhin is still alive. He's chilling with Chandra Bose and Lin Biao at a resort in Bali.
Andy Kaufman faked his own death, relaunched his career as Jim Carey, played himself in his biopic and filled the film with hints that he's still alive. He did it just to fuck with us.
between Rev Left, Chapo, TrueAnon, and Citations Needed, someone on those shows has to be an asset and I've been listening intently to try to sus them out.
the police infiltrate the left, obviously, but they're usually quiet guys, listeners, hiding in plain sight, rather than people with huge platforms who tend to either be sincere or opportunists/grifters, but not usually assets unless they get "turned" after police dig up some dirt on them or whatever. I think the real psy-op is not these shows, but the fact that the police, FBI, CIA, etc., despite making up about 0.3% of the US population at best, constantly make leftists paranoid of each other in forums and mass organizations
The Sonic movie deliberately used an ugly design for the first trailer as a marketing stunt

League of legends is a more commercially viable version of a torture device/game that was designed by the CIA to induce the worst traits and behavior a human can have.
Theres those stories about coca cola straightup killing water protectors or big sugar shutting down researchers about carcinogenic and liver damage effects of fructose.
