Yeah a lot of conspiracy gurus are banking on people getting a "THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SYSTEM" text/notification on their phones and thinking that a big disaster happened just beyond their field of vision. Which is catnip to this crowd

That won't even happen very much:

quote:

Beginning at 2:20 p.m. ET, cell towers will broadcast the test for approximately 30 minutes. During this time, WEA-compatible wireless phones where the subscriber has opted-in to receive test messages, that are switched on, within range of an active cell tower and whose wireless provider participates in WEA, should be capable of receiving the test message. Wireless phones should receive the message only once.

For consumers who have opted in to receive WEA test messages, the message that appears on their phones will read: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”

If you haven't specifically turned on "Local and state tests" in the emergency alerts section of your phone settings, it shouldn't even ping for this.

I think they're just latching onto the "of God" part and assuming that they are some kind of holy weapon to defeat Satan.

The "of God" suffix just gives +15 to all stats though, when everyone knows the top tier is "of the whale" gear with +100 to max HP

The Death Star isn't supposed to be practical, it's designed solely to inspire fear. You might be able to kill cities or even a biosphere with 'conventional' (for Star Wars) means, but the Death Star fuckin' kills planets.

Yeah, of course a fascist autocracies like the empire poured resources into a so ridiculously over the top as to be completely impractical weapons systems as a show of pride and intimidation. The death star is up there with the Landkreuzer or Schwerer Gustav.

They are trying but at the moment their symposium IT is being sabotaged by the Deep State, which is of course further proof that they are right

They carefully didn't specify a time only a day. They've got ten hours before it's Thursday everywhere in the continental United States. Benefit of the doubt for the absolute units who are still on the Qrift.

Until it becomes "really, we meant October". It's a little like how doomsday cultists always have to change their Armageddon scheduling to keep the bullshit train running.

No...it's exactly like that.

See also: How MLM's operate.

Somehow, you're always one level away from the untold vast riches you were sold on when they told you you only have to recruit 5 people. You're given titles like Emerald, Diamond, Ruby...Topaz, Quartz...and whatever the gently caress I don't know. They stick you in a suit and put you on a stage where you lie about how rich you are and how all your dreams have been achieved as you bask in the attention and adulation of reaching the illusion of wealth, but god help you if you ask your upline where the gently caress any of the money is you're supposedly making or when you might get it.

Because you won't. At least, not until you make (insert precious metal here) level where the Big Bucks Are. You just need to work harder, keep believing that dream and knock off that stinking thinking, your'e told; and you believe it because why else would all these people be cheering for you while you're secretly broke? This whole "My Pillow Convention" and CPAC reek of this sort of thing.

Everything about the way these people think is a mirage (work hard/make money), a symbol (Cross, new suit or a flag) or a weapon (typically a gun) and it's all driven by fear - similar how megachurches use going to hell and dangling heaven to manipulate people.

It's hosed up.

Alot of people kill their kids. It can be a depressing thing that happens just. But when you have undiagnosed or subclinical mental health issues, and the Algorithm points you towards High Engagement communities with exacerbate your pre-existing issues, it's more likely to happen. Which happens to be alot of extremely toxic communities like with QAnon, or 4chan, or Kiwifarms, or jihadi groups.
