I mean, I can envision how plausible this sounds.
Much of this tech is hand-me-down military radar. There are adjacent tiny grains of truth, like energy weapons allegedly used to target diplomats, very slight correlations in studies on the dangers of radio/microwave-range radiation to humans, scary-sounding geoengineering papers, really scary military projects and so on.
Now, picture yourself in these people’s shoes. You have virtually no background in science. You’re in an information environment, immersed on Facebook and your neighbors and pastors and online influencers everything, where climate change is a hoax, where FEMA is corrupt and hostile, as is much of the government. Maybe chemtrail or cloud seeding theories are on your, err, radar.
…Thousands, if not millions of people live in this state.
Now the NWS is politicized and liberal. People make the connection with them and climate science.
…This is not a big jump. It’s a really tiny one.
The US has been at the edge of many similar thresholds, and we’re gonna cross a ton of them very soon.

Meh, let them weaken their country so a good invader can take over and correct the bullshit
I don't think there is any such thing as a "good invader".
There have been a few. The Allies in WWII leap immediately to mind.
But in this case I don't see why anyone would do this for America.

Sounds like something a MAGAt would get behind.
Just more accelerationist bullshit
In a way they are.
You see, the weather radar stations collect data.
Data used in the manufacture of... Knowledge Bombs
