Are these people like the Truth Initiative anti-tobacco people? Like are they paid by an oil company to go around being shitheads to make environmental causes at large look stupid?

I can’t just honestly believe that these people think “When you have a cause but most people aren’t on your side, the trick to winning them over is to be a complete stupid rear end in a top hat to them” but I guess people have been that stupid many times, even when they should have a good point to make. To wit:

Nah there's absolutely something fucky about their financing, fex the soviet union used to love shucking money at crank pacifist orgs. Frankly that's probably all that's needed. Give a performative vegan the appreciation he thinks he deserve (aka money), and you'll see a smug "look how bad you are, look how great I am" performance to rival the greek gods

I'm convinced it's astroturfed but I think the people actually making these statements don't realize it's astroturfed and genuinely think they're helping, it's just that the oil companies/GOP/Putin/deathcults supporting them are intentionally giving money to the dumbest possible organizers.

quote:


An employee with a company that assists authorities in transporting dead bodies was arrested — and fired — after he allegedly tampered with one such scene last week. Ryan Smith, 41, was arrested Friday and is facing charges of burglary, criminal trespassing, and tampering with physical evidence.

Smith had contacted the property manager saying the Sarpy County Sheriff’s Office had asked him to collect a life-sized sex doll that had been found at the scene so that it could be swabbed for “a biopsy.”

The request was denied, but according to a statement from a sheriff’s investigator, the manager investigating noises at the residence found him there with the deadbolt locked and the chain secured — with his clothing disheveled.

Took me a couple rereads to figure out what dude did was find out about a sex doll at a crime scene and then break into said crime scene to gently caress said doll.
Dumber criminal than the burglar who decided to take a nap mid burglary.

Would've been funnier if they didn't catch him in the act but instead later found his DNA all over the scene and charged him with a crime.

Not for the poor crime scene guys who would have had to recover the DNA!

First half of that tweet I assumed he was buddies with the victim or got paid off by a buddy of the victim to destroy the doll and save them some embarrassment. Nope, it was much dumber and worse than that.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
