This particular instance is small, but it's what I refer to when I say internet poisoning. A lot of people without any civic knowledge, being primed by Republican know-nothingism, and getting exposed to pure strain internet via facebook. And now the QAnon people are blending it into normieville with the pro-cop / child trafficking poo poo.

The real motherfucker is even if Biden wins, how long does it take these people to mask up, or get a vaccine, or follow COVID rules? And how much does a former President Donnie keep feeding them the bullshit? Kinda not great!

So gently caress it, here's a happy clip.

Jesus loving Christ. Those people should get paid a $45k-$55k starting salary, depending on location.


How the gently caress are they risking their lives for such poo poo pay?

That's about an average fire season depending on your pay grade an OT. If you hit 1k OT hours (the standard hotshot goal) you had a good season. Supes on crews get capped around 100k a season. The goal is to hit 40hours asap on a 16 day roll so everything else is double pay. Little things like hazard pay and Sunday diff I guess add up but yea, it's not much but not as dangerous as yall are making it out to be. The most dangerous thing is cutting down trees and destroying your body for later in life. Burning to death isnt really as common as the public thinks. Canada doesnt even go direct, dumbass Americans and their fire shelters

And loving lol at getting everyone in fire to go salary instead of hourly

I think my brother is getting sucked into a confluence of dumb bullshit, currently spouting about abortion, cannibal restaurants in Los Angeles, and deep state poo poo. He's been mainlining 'success' from Amway people and I keep waiting for him to mention Qanon to me. It really is a way of dealing with the world by acting like you alone have all the answers, but there's a convenient echo chamber that says "we few have all the answers and we'll save the children, country, world, universe, too."

Alex Jones is all about that cannibalism though? Or is it just the wrong kind of cannibal restaurant just like they don't care about the right sort of pedophiles.

That sounds pretty dark. 2020 has been a trying time for just about everyone, with people handling the difficulties this year has presented with varying degrees of success. Have you ever tried talking to your brother about these topics directly? Might not be a bad time to try, particularly if you have concerns about the problem getting worse.

Many of them are scoops so they can stay out and pull from lakes near the fire rather than go out and back and deal with the pageantry at an airport every time. The big adapted airliners aren’t scoops though.

There's a growing populace of psychedelics users, so that myth is only going to grow stronger with time. It's a weirdly booming time for hallucinagenics.

In the past week I've been offered shrooms twice and acid once (it's micro-dose monday, bro). Yay weed industry.


Lol. Remember when idiots thought you could get high by scraping the inside of banana peels and drying them in an oven. Banananine. Lol.

Have you ever tried talking to your brother about these topics directly? Might not be a bad time to try, particularly if you have concerns about the problem getting worse.

I do, when I can stand to expend the energy. It's a game of I'm trying to wear down batshit insane conspiracy theories coming out at the rate of Ben Shapiro video posts while in return he's hoping to wear me down about Socialism and how crazy the CHAZ was in Seattle, and how I would do so well working for myself(slinging Amway grocery items) I had to restrain myself from yelling when explaining that defund the police doesn't literally mean get rid of policing (even though I would support it). But it's lately felt like battling a second-hand firehose of propaganda. Got his church stuff about abortion and Christian values, with no response on how despicable Trumps corruption and highly un-Christian actions. Got the Amway poo poo that is a great little gateway to the most fundamentalist Libertarian success philosophy stuff that really edges on cult-y.

I love him and he's still my brother, but he got dealt a lovely hand in life and when all the people in your communities start saying it's because you are the oppressed white male Christian and you legitimately don't have a lot going on, it's easy to accept the double-think and have a place you belong. I'm just gonna keep poking him with reality and let him figure it out.
