    Jfc I am so tired of conspiracies asserted so confidently anytime anything interesting happens. Can y’all just wait for like two goddamn seconds for information to come out instead of letting XXpatriotXx or whoever on YouTube and tiktok whip y’all up into a frenzy? Or are we all just going to start acting like tinfoil hat rightwingers desperately trying to make their lives sound more interesting?

      Firstly, I haven’t been whipped up by anyone, I came up with that myself, before I read anything else.

      Secondly, yeah, I was somewhat hasty.

        Comments like yours are what lead people to behave that way man. I understand I’m coming off very harsh but I honestly think people need to take these things more seriously

        I read a great comment the other day: “think about who your memes give ammo to.“ The same goes for conspiracy theories. You need to think about the audience that could be impacted by it, you are contributing to the cloud of misinformation.

      Lemmites are the perfect demographic for brain rot conspiracies like this. The perfect combination of ego and below average intelligence.
