I try not to dive into conspiracy theories too much. I think what red flags me the most is a lot of them tend to run down party lines and that should be very telling for many people. I haven't heard this one about the UN thing, but there are a lot of people who are claiming these latest hurricanes are government controlled weather events. I am a bit beside myself with all of it.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Have you seen people sharing long lists of patents as if it proves this was engineered, all without any explanation of how the patents apply to the claimed observations or any evidence they were used for anything ever?
I mean cloud seeding is a thing and there has been speculation about government controlled weather for decades, but it all just screams tin foil hat to me. Add to that the fact that it follows political sides and I have a hard time taking it seriously.
That is a pretty accurate assessment.
When conspiracy theory resonates and targets a very specific audience the reason for that is usually because it's completely bullshit and no one outside that audience can take it seriously because it lacks any and all of the necessary evidence.
If we look back at conspiracies that were proven to be true there was never an intended audience in mind when it was still being initially debated.
I'm starting to realize that more and more and it really just resonated with me last night as I was making that comment.
the weather modification is another good example...
most definitely, there are weather modifications technologies and projects that do exist... though it's kinda crazy when people all of a sudden jump to assume every 'natural disaster' is a product of such, not bothering to ask any questions at all or apply any critical thinking whatsoever, just automatically assuming.
similar to the wildfires in Jasper few months ago, with all the 'conspiracy theorists' insisting it was another DEW attack like Maui without bothering to look at anything beyond the biased headlines of the tribal memes. yeah, Maui was sketch AF and unlikely an act of war, with a ton of facts to actually lend support to the 'theory'... but I grew up going to Jasper regularly so got some different perspective - and it was well-known for a while something like this was gonna happen because like half the trees there were dead from a beetle infestation and Parks Canada didn't do shit about it despite continual advice to. but off went the 'truther' community with their insistent declarations it was just the same as Maui based a headline.
i wouldn't be surprised if the Florida hurricanes - or any disasters - were a byproduct of weather modification at this point... but to go ahead and just arrogantly assert it/they are without applying critical thinking to both possibilities... 🫤
I think if the narrative wasn't so closely tied to political agendas then it might be easier to consider.
