The internet was freaking awesome in the late 1990s/early 2000s before everyone got broadband, then the mouth breathers all got online with the advent of the iPhone

I think history is repeating itself though, the Usenet fuckers of olde had the same complaint

Probably should just burn down the internet at this point, it's doing more harm than good at this point

How the gently caress is that not libel?

Because he never says what the crime is? I guess he (or his handlers) are at least smart enough to not say the made-up crime, and instead let their helpful morons on the internet do the work and libel for them.

Edit: Thought this was clever, but then started thinking about the people this is supposed to finally "get through to" and they would probably like to legalize Impaired Driving.

there is absolutely people who are opposed to laws based on the fact that they ARE laws

IIRC in the cspam thread someone was talking about someone they knew who, while otherwise very intelligent, refused to use a seatbelt entirely on the basis that it was the law

and since we live in a time when being contrarian to scientific consensus makes people feel like they are clever 100% some people will start getting hammered and driving because muh freedums

that is exactly it, he's simply making a reference to a whole umbrella of various conspiracy theories and he doesn't need to endorse any particular one, just throw the word "obamagate" out there to get the process started and the conversation away from his handling of the virus and split with fauci, or better yet to get certain minds associating the scientific establishment with the "deep state" and previous administration
