It's an old play, spend years accusing someone of something you do, then whey they accuse you for doing what you do, you can call them childish for doing the "no you are!" argument, even though it's true.
They're all too happy to be "drinking liberal tears." They never truly gave a shit about it, they just wanted "to win" and those perceived slights hinderd their chances at winning. Now that it's in their favor they couldn't possibly care less and if anything are happy it's happening in part because of their lust for revenge and in part because they get "to win."
Every accusation is a confession.
Conspiratorial thinking starts with coming up with the conclusion and then piecing together (or manufacturing) evidence to support it.
These chodes would never start with the conclusion that one of their favorite fashy daddies did something wrong.
I'm shocked, did all of this happen while Brazil was banned? Goddamn I wish the japanese artists I follow left already.
anon puts it very well
anon was promptly banned
anon probably wouldn’t be banned for this but 4chan is astroturfed hard so this would either have a million replies roasting the shit out of it (usually really lazily with lots of lame whataboutism to deflect from anons very valid points) or all of a sudden the board would have an influx of new threads to push this into the archive
They'd have to do actual research instead of conjecture.
I don't always agree with 4chan but when I do...
The tabloids and Congress have the same class interests as Trump and Epstein, and the cranks need the special secret knowledge to feel like special smart boys.
...speaking of special smart boys, I genuinely struggle with how people can't put these things together, and I'm definitely not one of the great minds of our time.
There's no way Elon is as rich as Bezos lol. Does he claim to be the richest person in the world?
Edit: that's crazy, like literally I've never used anything Elon's companies have produced, and pretty much the whole web uses Amazon web services. Are emerald mines really that profitable? 🤣
Elon funded PayPal, and they forced him out when it became successful and he wanted to change its name to X. I'm not making that up. So you likely used PayPal at some point.
Tesla isn't even in the top 10 for either cars produced or revenue. It being the highest valued car manufacturer in the world is just empty hype.
I think his stocks are inflated on his hype, and if you're an American your taxes have got to him through NASA.
He seems to have a pretty heavy stake in pump & dump crypto schemes too
Can we try to keep the conversation separate? Despite the fact that fucking jackass owns SpaceX, they've been good for space tech. Tesla on the other hand haven't done shit that other companies haven't done better by now.
Fair enough for SpaceX, it's only doing so well because he doesn't control it.
Even greentext is a US presidential campaign now.
I think, it's time to take a break from lemmy till December.
Conspiracy theorists are not about the actual theories. They are about being special. They are smart and figured out monkeys have been influencing the course of human politics since the roman empire. *They * are the only ones who "get it" that bic biro pens have finger print scanners the CIA uses to locate disobedient citizens.
As soon as it becomes confirmed, they are no longer special, because everyone "gets it".
When they say "wake up sheeple", they wouldn't know what to do if you "woke up".
That's why the idea of wokeism is so repugnant to right-wing conspiracy theorists. The idea that they are the ones asleep but also there are many others who woke up before them is so counter to their own self-image that they will alter their perception of the world before they will allow such a thing to be true.
The only consistency you should expect from the right wing is that they'll consistently drop their "principles" the instant it's convenient.
Well, it's only a bad thing, if the others are doing it. Didn't you know?
This is not a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy observation.
The Theorying is half the fun
It's like that Simpsons episode where Homer joins the group to find out what happened to I think a turtle that went missing. When they found out the truth, they got upset because they couldn't theorize crazy shit anymore.
Yeah, well. That's just, like, your theory, man.
