Theories of the conspiratorial kind

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

This is a pretty interesting analysis of the "Satanic Panic" ( ) of the 1980s, going into its deep historical roots, socio-psychological mechanisms, and legacy into more recent conspiracies such as QAnon. On the whole, it also serves as a pretty good warning, especially for folk like us who would also have been prime suspect targets during the satanic panic, of how to recognize when narratives are more conspiracy than reality:

The most frustrating thing is watching this exact bullshit being repackaged and then spread by, as you said, people who would've been the prime target back in the day and therefore should know better.

Well tbf I love a good theory or two but the Q stuff is right up there with the flat earth in terms of likeliness. I think going the whole way in either direction is a bit much anyway, between everything is a giant plan and nothing to see here ever.

Might get a look at that video later

Here's a good one.

So the lad cut his own wrists and throat and then ran half a mile from his car to shoot himself in the head.

No autopsy because obvious suicide

Lol

Impending explosion of cognitive dissonance among crypto bro Musk fanboys as a World Economic Forum associated player is floated to be next CEO of Twitter. Love it. Hope it causes a maximum of them to turn their backs on him (if it turns out to be true).

[astfgyl]

It won't though because they're addicted to Twitter. They'll stay on there to give out about it.

Also who isn't associated with the WEF these days?

I was nearly thinking of joining em myself

Ah here we go

That tweet has provided the perfect opportunity for me to check whether the automatic blue tick profile blocker extension I added to Firefox during the week is working properly. A resounding yes! 

Well worth doing, especially since the introduction of Twitter Blue users replies being boosted to the top on all tweets. Pretty smart customization options with it too.

[astfgyl]

Ah no way I didn't know there was an extension like that. Must see if I can get it on Edge. Twitter blue and paying for your opinion to be boosted is very shit. Blue ticks being earned rather than bought was way better

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Are you obliged to use Edge?? Hate that if so.

[astfgyl]

No I could use any other browsers but I'm so lazy that when I got a laptop off a chap I just didn't bother going looking. I would have probably changed at some point but the adblock works great on Edge. Even soap2day can't get an ad through. Might be worth throwing on Firefox for that extension if I can't get it on Edge though

Signed up for the world economic forum last night.

Sweet Jesus

No conspiracy just a different reality altogether

[astfgyl]

Was going for the trump thread but as this is theory of the conspiratorial kind I decided to throw it here. Something I came across on Twitter.

Now this is apolitical as I see it because if 2020 was an issue that way well then so was 2016 so there's the partisan minds blown by the paradox that they themselves have created

There was no submarine

The people on the submarine were done away with

There's no Titanic down there, it's some other ship

The fella who was in the sub was a member of seti and was going to blow the whistle on operation bluebeam which is due to happen imminently.

That's what I've seen in the last 5 mins on Twitter and all I wanted was to check the transfer news

Yeah, Tubridy is some cunt trying to distract everyone from his wages.
