It's fucking baffling that all of these people have experienced ecological threats that fucked up the air, water, and everything in general and ignored that, saw a plane flying by, and shouted "POISON!" And now, instead of picking up on a credible threat, they had to go with predatory cabals under pizza restaurants and mole-children.
I know media/news narratives are powerful, but god damn.
But also, you can't really personally do anything about microplastics. There isn't a community of people regularly fired up and talking about how microplastics are the big bad, destroying the world. A big part of why people get into Q-anon and other right wing conspiracy is because it provides a community to be a part of, and because just consuming media about the conspiracies, or as they call it "educating yourself," or " doing your own research," you are a participant against the imagined conspiracy.
The best is that they think soy is turning men into women and are totally silent on the credit card's worth of plastic they consume in a week shrinking their penis and making them infertile.
"im not owned! im not owned!!", i continue to insist as my dick slowly shrinks and transforms into baby corn.
"It's the soy da jooooz are putting into food making men infertile", I continue to insist as I eat my third microplastic burger.
My junk has been insensitive for years so I don't even notice tbh but I do wonder if it's shrunk. Gee, thanks capitalism.
Or how they will happily consume meat while screaming about the soy, while the vast majority of cattle is raised on an almost exclusively soy diet.
I swear all of these 'movements,' if you can call them that, are ops because they always perfectly avoid coming to the correct conclusions
Maybe you could try convincing them that like Bill Gates or whomever personally engineered the whole microplastic thing because he hates big beautiful penises
You need a bad guy with a nefarious plan for these guys to care
Bill Gates actually named microsoft after his tiny flaccid peen.
planes flying by are putting out poison lmao leaded jet fuel bbeeeeeeeeeee
nevermind the whole baking us alive w/fossil fuels
:geordi-no: Literally toxic plane exhaust sprayed into the air.
:geordi-yes: "But what if the government had people spraying out mind-control gas?"
But that’s like defining characteristics of conspiracy people: they pick the ones without evidence, and construct reality around it
Yeah. It's my fault that I'm trying to workshop conspiracy theories to make sense.
Its easy to understand and communicate with enough plausibility that with a liberal use of "moving the goal posts" we get to feel like we're "in the know" but not actually having to take responsibility for it.
