I wonder what percent of conspiracy theories are born from people that have the circuit in their brain that recognizes as specific face slightly broken so their visual system registers one person as being another person and have to fit a whole world view to explain how that could possibly be. So much of conspiracy theory is on taking a photo of one guy and saying "he's this other guy" in a way where no sane person would see that. But I wonder how much is crazy and how much is like, whatever brain region that recognizes identity.

I feel like I might have that, myself, to a small degree, but not enough to turn into a conspiracy nut, apparently.

from voat:

quote:

Q 2611: Anon- Is JFK Jr. still alive? Q- No <*Crushing*> (QRV)

submitted 8 hours ago by 2909161?

Anon asks Q Is JFK Jr. still alive?

Q’s response... No

This is heartbreaking news and sad to read. I knew it was a long shot but it still sucked reading it. His spirit absolutely lives on through the movement though.

quote:

Like the Q team says, think logically. You think if JFK Jr. was alive that the grand reveal after keeping his life secret for almost 20 years would be on some anonymous internet forum? I'm sad too if this news is true, but there's no way they would ever admit he's alive in a random Q&A session.
hmmm

HMMMM

quote:

No deceive...JFK underlined, not JR. Trick answer to keep the enemy wondering.

quote:

I agree, several clairvoyants who have no vested interest in Q have revealed that he is alive and has been working on the plan ever since...

quote:

Good point. No one asked “is Vincent Fusca JFK Jr.?” They only asked is JFK Jr. is still alive. Well, for all intensive purposes, if you fake your own death, get a new face, get a new name, and live a different life- then no, you wouldn’t be 🍿🍿🍿

There is a video of Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedin sacrificing a small girl to Satan, harvesting her adenochrome and wearing her face as a mask.

The evidence is a photo pulled from a DC restaurant of a completely different woman wearing an old-timey Masquerade mask.

He was a mediocre to bad president who had multiple affairs, hosed up Cuba and Vietnam, almost got the world nuked, and then he got shot by a crazy dude. Let it loving go ffs

What the gently caress did JFK Jr. ever even do in his life that made the boomers see him as some great hope, besides be a Kennedy?

Don't wanna sound Petersony here but there's something about "son of the assassinated king returns in disguise to lead the people in a revolution against the bloodthirsty evil usurper queen" that probably speaks to something deep in the Western monkey brain.

That or they only give a poo poo about him because they can blame his death/"death" on the Clintons, same reason they're still talking about Vince Foster and Seth Rich.

Boomer thought process boils down to "was it like this when I was a kid, it's the best".

President when I was a kid? Best president. Math education when I was a kid? Best math education. Story of Thanksgiving when I was a kid? Best story. Holidays recognized around me when I was a kid? Best holidays. Skin color I saw most often as a kid? Best skin color. Gasoline formulation when I was a kid? Best gasoline, lead puts hair on your chest.

Tbf this is pretty much everyone when they get old, it's just that Boomers are the largest generation so their dumbass idealization of how they imagine their lovely childhoods were is in control of the country and the culture.

Idk, there is something uniquely stupid and extremely selfish and self aggrandizing about boomer views compared to other generations I have seen

At some point their minds for the most part collectively snapped into permanent FYGM and narcissism.

They were the first generation with a recognized and aggressively marketed Youth Culture right? It follows for me that having all their youthful rebellious counterculture capitalism'd into generational narcissism would look like that.

Hillary Clinton has always driven throwbacks absolutely bugfuck insane because she's a professionally accomplished woman who didn't take her man's name and said she preferred having a career to staying home and baking cookies (over-the-top political backlash from thin-skinned sexists forced her to capitulate and do both those things) and "two presidents for the price of one" was explicitly part of Bill's campaign. The right was making up conspiracy theories about her murdering Vince Foster the second she arrived in Washington.

Not that there aren't a ton of legitimate reasons to dislike her (the warmongering, the corruption, the fantastical mercenary cowardice of her Iraq War vote, 'superpredators', the hosed-up racist primary campaign she ran against Obama, scaremongering that Bernie wants to take away your healthcare, etc), but the absolute batshit obsession with her from the right is pure misogyny and terror of shifting cultural mores.

The right has had a hateboner for her for years, but the thing that really kicked it into high gear was Benghazi. If you think for a second you can convince a hard-right Boomer Foxwatcher that he's been duped, look at his bumper sticker that says "Hillary killed my friends" and understand that he absolutely believes that, to the very core of his being.

Pizzagate spawned from that hate during 2016, and proved viral, and the rest is history. Hillary is center to all this because the people who propagate this stuff loooove hating Hillary. It's like a hobby for them.
