I make a YT channel about bizarre conspiracy theories. I keep coming back to the people who make videos claiming that 5G is actually a deadly weapon on their 5G Iphone 16. Nobody has more cognitive dissonance than these guys.
It’s amusing seeing some of the ones that were only even really plausible (and I use the term loosely) for a brief time hold traction after that time has passed. Like the 5G ones where even if you ignore the whole technical side of it, it was a possibility before it was deployed but now it’s out there. If it was turning people into zombies or whatever, it would be doing that right now. Or if not, then what are they waiting for?
Or covid vaccines. Yeah, when they were first being sent out, there were potential unknowns and it was possible that they were RNA coded to do who knows what instead of just giving improved immunity to covid. I have no idea how I’d even check on something like that other than seeing what happens when someone is injected with it. But lots of people were injected with each of the vaccines. And though some issues popped up, I don’t think there was an evil plan to give like less than 1 in 100 generally minor and temporary heart issues that the actual virus also gave (but generally worse). But I still see profiles on tinder that say they prefer someone unjabbed. What timeline do they think this conspiracy is operating on? “Get a covid vaccine and you’ll likely be dead within 100 years!”
And the funniest (saddest?) part is that there are real conspiracies. Like there’s clearly a push to turn the world fascist happening right now as the billionaire class positions itself to control how society transitions into a world where not nearly the same amount of labour is required. There’s been a group aiming to suppress information about climate change and our way of life’s role in it. Russia and China both aim to no longer be 2nd fiddles to the western world, which itself isn’t the benevolent ruler it likes to pretend to be. Science closes in on solving aging but the amount of people who read this message and will have access to it are likely under 1% (unless some kind of eternal servitude setup is developed). Almost everything about our society is set up to funnel wealth to the privileged few and conservatives almost openly sabotage public services whenever they are in power. Police brutality won’t get fixed because the ruling class benefits from the enforcer class being hated by the general public–otherwise they might band together and then the rulers would be fucked. Oh, and as much as conservatives like to bitch about immigrants (illegal or not), you never them suggest going after those who employ them unless it’s the tech companies who follow the legal route. All the illegal immigration talk isn’t about stopping it but about gaining more control over them while continuing to exploit them.
You don’t need lizard people or aliens for a good vs evil kind of narrative. Elon Musk being human doesn’t make him a good human or anyone’s friend.
