Those are all well and good, but you know what I still can't wrap my head around? The theory that Tom Hanks getting COVID was actually a signal that he has been arrested and/or killed, and was being held in a US military installation in Australia as part of the beginning of the crackdown on the satanic pedophile elite. It's just Tom Hanks, did he really have that much power and influence in the world this whole time that he would've needed to be taken down in this manner? And why on the other side of the world? Surely here would do just fine. Also, how does the fact that Tom Hanks is actually still alive get explained? Is there supposed to be some sort of body double? Would it really be necessary to keep up appearances like that? He was just in a movie that was apparently pretty good, so was this replacement an equally good actor and was just chilling in his house this whole time, just waiting to play his biggest role yet: playing the role of Tom Hanks playing the role of other fictional people? The questions only grow by the day, but I fear I may never find the answers.

Give this a read if you haven’t before. It spells out the problematic links between out-of-control liberalism and moral cruelty quite well.

“Liberals must not make decent people choose between liberalism and self-respect.”

For me, that exactly sums up the problem with the woke, virtue-signalling, cancel culture of the far progressive left. And we seem to rushing headlong from there into the “new barbarism” mentioned here:

“For liberalism to survive, Shklar warned, we will have to maintain a sharp-eyed fear not only of physical violence on the part of the state, but also the spiritual perversions of today’s Puritans. We must be afraid, above all, that our disgust with these cruelties may lead us to abandon the moral life entirely, beckoning a new barbarism.”

yeah I can taste the difference, my point is that the vast majority of people won’t notice or care and that GMO is not necessarily a bad thing.
The left needs its conspiracy theories and their group identity over their supreme enlightenment too, you know.

Mainstream media just trying to play catch up with Fox News and Right Wing media’s 30 years of blatant lying and ridiculous propaganda. Fight fire with fire, ya know.
Uh, Fox News is mainstream media. You just said it's been the most popular news channel. How much more mainstream can you get?

It's not as bad as the whole thing where blogs like HotAir and NewsBusters spend their days masturbating in a dark closet over the "evil media" while not acknowledging that -- guess what? -- they too are the media. But it's still just shorthand for people you disagree with.

Only 40% of voters are kkk members
But at least 20% are supporters of authoritarianism.

At this point, supporting Trump and his merry band of insane stooges is akin to being a seditious traitor.

MyPillow guy going for a meeting with Trump to discuss ideas for a coup using insurrection act and martial law. :sergio:

When the enemy troops are closing in on your Führerbunker, who is the guy you want to be in the trenches with for your last stand?

The My Pillow Guy(tm)

You can't make that stuff up. Right up there with Four Seasons Total Lawncare

...and a "Kraken" that was apparently only the crease between Trump's obese ass cheeks.

Blue Lives Matter. Unless they're protecting the Capitol.

Boogaloo Bois. QAnon. I think we have to come to terms with the fact that a segment of the world prefers to be in a comic book cosplay fantasy. That said, I gotta imagine there must be some 4chan'ers who have to be in on the gag. They can't be high on their own supply.

Part of me just imagines a few guys laughing their asses off over a few beers, trying to come up with the most outlandish theories and testing to see if people are gullible enough to believe them. The next thing you know, the Pope is in the papers getting his COVID vaccine at the same time he's reportedly been arrested for human trafficking and incest.

I'm not calling all democrats blood drinking pedophiles or trannies majority of the democrats and the republicans are nice working class people. But the radical left ones that are blood drinking pedophiles or trannies have more chance of actually pushing their ideas onto the population trough legislations and new laws, than the right wing radicals and are doing so. Both groups are batshit crazy just one is doing it in a subtle way. You'll see the full effect of this in the near future.

You had me until you somehow thought the entire checks and balance of the US government would kowtow to Black trans feminist amputees. If you think that lefties had a radical insurrection porn fantasy about anything Trump utters, you're topping that here ... and without a ransacked Capitol. For all the times Pelosi publicly bitch-slapped Ocasio-Cortez to go back in her doghouse, somehow there's this fantasy that even AOC will be railroaded by some army of black antifa ogres who will ransack Capitol Hill and hand out all federal lands as part of slavery reparations.

The only bitch-slapping we see on the Republican side is the Slapper in Chief promising to rile up the troops to quarter and execute any Republican who doesn't support his claims of election fraud without evidence.

Whatever keeps you engaged I guess...???

Can you name one conspiracy theorist on the left who is as popular, damaging and dangerous as Qanon.
There's a lot of home-schooled anti-vaxxer types that are spreading measles outbreaks. But it's not in the same league as people shooting up pizza parlors looking for their basement pedophile rings.

General identity politics and assigning value/ merit to people based on oppression points
That’s not what a conspiracy theory is though. It’s an ideology, which I happen to completely disagree with.

Do you really think some person of relevance takes Qanon seriously?
The president of the United States isn’t relevant?

Does that matter that its not a conspiracy theory? Its often applied in a way that is just as wilfully outside of reality and its just as damaging.

Equally batshit, divisive and dangerous
