TremorX posted:In short, it's nearly impossible to explain the Q cult to people without sounding just as crazy as someone in it, because it's completely loving nuts. I think half the problem is people go "Wait up, my aunt is into that stuff, she's nutty, but not THAT nutty. Your making this up!" I kinda figure its a bit like the onionskin of crazy thats the scientolgists. One of the big mistakes a lot of the anti scientology people make is they'll bail up the average joe in the local office and demand to know whats up with Xenu, but that local joe has no idea what your on about because that Xenu stuff is only for people in high levels. So the anti-scientologist just seems like a lying crazy rear end in a top hat to the average low end scientologist whos more about e-meters and dianetics., So chances are peoples aunts are just into the baseline Q stuff; Hillary and Joes son, Vaccines bad, etc. But as people get deeper in, they get more exposed to the crazy, descending further into the madness, next up comes the vast pedo conspiracy, then next its secret mole children bases, then its UFO blue beam, then its the lizard people and before long they are getting closer to the heart of the Q mess and completely and utterly suggestible and now... its all just nazis. But if you try and tell someone their aunt who just reads paranoid posts on facebook and gets angry at them democrats they think YOUR the crazy one, because chances are crazy aunt doesnt actually believe in the lizard people or harbors an urge to get freaky for the fuhror. That bit comes later.

The other end of this is the high speed bullshit generator that's constantly adding new misinformation by combining traditional enemies of Bill Cooper style narratives with current events in the media (the one that you can never trust but that also has all the secret clues to what's really going on) and whoever the author has a weird fixation on today. Like https://twitter.com/MartinW83147682/status/1643304031714959388 Good combination of a traditional 80s conspiracy enemy with the U.N. importing foreign fighters and a right wing media current event of mass uncontrolled migration/'open borders', with the glue being that Serco (the company that probably collects your garbage without you really being aware of that) are now a key part of the globalist plot.

talking about who “owns Obamacare” is a perfect example of the kind of conspiracy-brained gibberish that reveals there’s absolutely nothing substantive going on in the heads of the people who wrote this stuff. It’s just completely removed from the most basic understanding of what they’re talking about, an efficient little tell that the poster behind it has no more capacity to comprehend the events around them than a goldfish

To be fair, the people telling them this stuff are feeding them lies from top to bottom, so it's not too surprising if their understanding of reality is flawed at best. They're literally living in an alternate reality where everything trying to tell them the truth is "fake news."

Did you know that BILL GATES and the WEF are putting a coating on fruit and vegetables to make them last longer and reduce plastic waste? This is clearly terrible, especially because if you spray the coating directly into your eyes instead of on the fruit it can cause irritation. https://twitter.com/Julie9621/status/1646119029235384323 Also that's the MSDS and logo for a British hard surface cleaner with the same name, which has nothing to do with the fruit thing This is also why the Bidens are in Ireland, so Hunter can put the fruit coating on his dick or something. https://twitter.com/EleftheriaElpis/status/1646128133228187648 Of course the fruit coating is also a nanotech bioweapon, but what isn't?

I love that the big brain deep researchers can't tell the difference between an American food product and a British cleaning product with the same name and completely different logos and branding, even when the MSDS point of contact is right there on the page and they could go to the site, and instead convince themselves that Bill Gates and the WEF are covering fruit with tile floor cleaner and covering it up. Their peanut butter sandwiches must suck.

If you toss in “and they also eat the brains of mole children from the underground Central Park bunkers” they will froth at the mouth how evil the company is

You know what kinda sucks? Air travel. And you know why it sucks? It's not capitalism or the free market, it's that airplanes actually don't need fuel and the companies are all lying to you. They have a tiny fuel tank to take off and land and taxi, and then run on compressed air when they're in the air! https://twitter.com/DrGingerKinsey/status/1652851988571525120 https://twitter.com/AnonyLives/status/1652829936850292736 https://twitter.com/starrrchilddddd/status/1644833946105184256 https://twitter.com/kik1771/status/1652753177345916928 https://twitter.com/MercierVivienne/status/1652663280371142656 In fact, only the APU is fuel powered, those big things under the wings? Compressed air engines! https://twitter.com/J0N78/status/1652837602242723841 The only question I have, if planes are so flimsy and tiny and can't hold any fuel, where are they putting all the chemtrail fluid?  this is all so dumb even by trivially disproven Q bullshit standards

That's funny, I just read a piece by an astronomer who was complaining that textbook depictions of the sun usually appeared yellow because the sun is a "yellow giant", but as it puts out full spectrum radiation, it is white. This is just another "Mandela effect" BS, people think their memories are infallible.

just looked it up and a Torpedo is 650 lbs.... Folks that's only a Third of one Ton...according to Carnival Cruise Lines, they use between 1,500-4,500 Tons of Fuel a Week! It only takes one Torpedo to sink a Ship! That's just .325 Ton. Do the Math on you're own. It doesn't add up. #fuelsurchargehoax

No, but you see, jet fuel is heavier than air, while air is as heavy as air, so by powering their planes with air instead of jet fuel, you reduce the weight of the plane and that means you can have smaller fuel tanks, which means you reduce the weight of the plane and that means can have smaller fuel tanks, which means...

I love how the conspiracy starts out because they are lying about fuel costs to increase fares. There's a kernel of truth there, in that US flights have gotten a lot more expensive and profits have gone up a lot despite ever-declining levels of service, and airlines want to blame anything that's not their greed. Instead of simply concluding this due to merger after merger of US air carriers leaving the market as an uncompetitive oligopoly with only a small handful of carriers, they have to go into absolutely wonko poo poo where the planes actually are powered by compressed air.
