got to listen to my coworker spouting off some crazy conspiracy theories again today, none of which had any real relevance. there is a certain point where, to believe in a lot of this crazy conspiracy shit, you have to be either gullible as hell or just completely ignorant. the amount of hoops you have to jump through to get to some of this stuff is ridiculous.

@applejack there's flat earth stuff, she's super paranoid that the government is using us as a test bed for chemicals in the air that make people subservient (but doesn't want to move away??), every time she sees an airplane going over us she thinks we're being spied on or some shit (we have an airforce base really close so jets commonly do drills/training). she thinks that every suburb in america has cameras in the street lamps so the government can spy on anyone. she's worried about all of this stuff but still has a facebook with her face and legal name.

i can't recall exactly what she was talking about today because there were so many parts of it that were built on other parts just being factually incorrect. it was mainly about calendars being incorrect and all the holidays originally stemming from satan worshippers with unholy numbers and shit, but those dates wouldn't line up with her proposed calendar changes anyway so there wasn't a whole lot of coherency there. she was talking about how, with all of the calendar changes, the mayans actually meant the world would end in 2020, not 2012, and this got brought up because people were talking about Y2K. but the mayans never said the world would end on a specific date, that's just when their calendar stopped... much like how Y2K was all about our computerized calendar "stopping" and needing an update. i'm sure if the mayans lived that long they would have just updated their calendar. but yeah she was talking about how we're technically still in 2014 because the calendars got changed from god's true calendar when there were only 10 months, even though there were only 10 named months and a winter season..... a lot of convoluted bullshit built on other convoluted bullshit.

@beardalaxy @applejack I think people also forget just like the existence of the binality of evil. And how evil is actually very boring but very poisonous; conspiracy theories follow the same method the binality of conspiracies they're really boring but very decisive like how there is technically Mass surveillance but it simply them just retrieving the data from your social media account that you publicly use. The types of people that you're describing are simply retarded and would always be retarded regardless of conspiracies or religion. It's simply their natural state.

@Mr_NutterButter @applejack you know, at the very least i'm glad i don't have to censor myself too much around them.

@beardalaxy they're the first people who would rat you out if they believe it will benefit them in their conspiracies.

@Mr_NutterButter i can't tell you why without a little bit of self doxxing but i'm pretty sure that's not the case.

@Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy it's just the right wing version of what Twitter tards consume about the gangstalking Right Wing Death Squads that's going to kill all the trans people

@Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy
Sadly, I agree.
There are people who like conspiracies to predict future, and then, where are shcizos. And these people who are beyond the schizo line are not stable enough to hold any kind of loyalty.

@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy Depends. Especially if they're religious. They're loyal to their concept of good instead of people. As long as you act good they'll be 100% loyal but disagree with them on something and you become bad

@LukeAlmighty @Mr_NutterButter @beardalaxy Most people fall into this to some degree tho

Lefties hate you if you aren't pro-tranny
Righties hate you if you aren't pro-hag
