Dr. Arbitrary posted:I'm sure this has come up before, but is there any reference to adrenochrome prior to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? I know I've heard of it as a kooky conspiracy when I was a teenager. Well it used to be known as blood libel but that was a little too on the nose so it got changed to adrenochrome like how Jewish cabal got changed to globalist cabal. Same thing in concept in the end: secret cabal who owns governments, banks, and entertainment are stealing away white children to kill and eat. It even has Soros and the Rothchilds still involved for the same crime of “Rich while Jewish”

Ague Proof posted:Wasn't the original Pointy-Haired Boss just Trump, essentially? The primary concept of Dilbert which lasted well into the mid-90s was just "I will illustrate stories you tell me about dumb things you/your boss/your coworkers did in the office" with a side of "here's some dumb poo poo that came up at my managing job at pacific bell" before Scott Adams got popular enough in comics that he didn't have to keep being a sales manager at PacBell anymore. And even into the late 2000s a ton of the stuff was still built on reader stories that'd get mailed in, even as Scott kinda made more of distinct characters for the people that were mostly just generic placeholders beforehand. The pointy haired boss would be the placeholder for a random fan's boss making bad decisions, split up the fan's own actions among the core workers as it made sense, etc. Edit: Also like, consider the whole aspect of most of dilbert being "tell some other guy's story" next time Scott Adams brags about being the brain genius original thinker expert. fishmech fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Aug 8, 2018 |

I'm a pretty big fan of the one where the Jewish kid has never heard of Jesus and then immediately says "Why he fits all the prophecies of the Messiah perfectly!" Literally Kermit posted:Wasnt it like, right outside Mecca? I remember the dad and his kid more than a little over their heads on that one. Yeah the guy is praying and the kid asks his father what he's doing which gets the "He's praying to his moon god, son." Then the father basically says "Your religion is wrong and my religion is right" and the Muslim guy says "Wow I never considered that, I'll convert immediately." It also has some great Islamophobia in it as the Muslim guy talks about how Muslims have taken over the UK and are destroying it, and America is their next target.

Top is a true believer (here's her home-made Q t-shirt), bottom is a serial liar who both just turned 18 and yet was also a Mormon (while being black) for 19 years and is now an atheist libertarian. Also capitalizing "white" is a huge loving dogwhistle.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:It's the drencrom in milk plus in clockwork orange Everything you ever wanted to know about adrenochrome (written by a man called Rothschild ). Conclusion: the notion that it's a psychedelic of astonishing potency came from a 1950's crank theory that perhaps people with schizophrenia were producing their own, in-body psychoactive drugs through some sort of metabolic mis-step. The route for this notion making its way into counterculture literature is almost certainly Huxley's 'The Doors of Perception'; the idea that it must be obtained from living human sources is a grisly flourish of Hunter S. Thompson's. Naturally, a few curious people have bought and taken the stuff to see if it gets them high: nope. One user said it gave them a splitting headache, but that may have been coincidence. It's basically Bananadine, except with Satanic child murder instead of banana skins.

Sure, and if they break the law, 4chan will just turn over who they are like they've done before with people posting child porn. However, there's nothing illegal about posting random conspiracy nonsense online, so they're probably not going to do anything yet.

Kobayashi posted:Right, some incredibly online tweets mean Russia. Your counter-conspiracy theory is dumb because it doesn’t provide any predictive power. I think there's a big difference between the patterns you see in a "conspiracy theory" and normal speculation. I don't think there's good reason to believe that Russia specifically was involved, but it's plausible. I do think that it's weird that this got pulled out of the defense bill and gained traction. Very few people read any legislation, and this one is huge, 788 pages: https://www.congress.gov/115/bills/hr5515/BILLS-115hr5515enr.pdf Sure, it might have just been an online rando looking for the next clue in the Q ARG, but I think that it points to someone who would already have read the NDAA trying to weaponize Q against legislation they don't like. You definitely should NOT accept any of the above as being proven fact, or uncritically include it into grander theories about what's going on.

Vox analyzed the other subs that /r/greatawakening users post in. It should come as no shock to anyone that /r/The_Donald is at the top. There's a smaller but still present correlation between certain popular hate subs (CringeAnarchy, metacanada, milliondollarextreme) and GA. Roughly the same level of correlation exists for conspiracy-mocking subs, so either mockers trolling the idiots or the idiots trolling the mockers. The real bottom line, though, quote:An astoundingly small number of people produce the majority of the content. About 200 users account for a quarter of the forum’s comments. These people are clearly conspiracy theorists who believe they are investigators unearthing the truth, and they spend almost all their time on Reddit investigating these theories. I wouldn't be surprised if the 200 and 700 numbers are also artificially inflated. The conspiracy subs tend to host well-known sockpuppets that an outsider like the article author wouldn't know how to look for.

Or it's grimdark and the compound may be the same but it gets infused with emotions and gains potency from that. Or it's all stupid bullshit because people want to believe that those they disagree with are as evil as it's possible for anything to be. After all, if you see your opponents as humans then it's harder to justify your rage and hatred.

When you really get deep into it with a believer about how none of this poo poo makes any sense the final excuse is always "it's all part of a ritual." Same reason why the Illuminati keep dropping clues to future terrorist attacks into Simpsons episodes and YA fiction and everything has secret pentagrams on it and every false flag mass shooting has a secret second shooter. There's no logical reason why anyone would do that so instead of revisiting the idea that it's happening at all, they assume it's part of some bizarre satanic ceremony that mere mortals can't hope to understand. Personally I blame lazy genre fiction writing that uses "ritual" as a catchall bad guy motivation / plot device. "Why did the bad guy kidnap the princess and steal the five ancient crystals? Uh ... he needed them for a ritual I guess."
