        My friend's ex-wife went down the Youtube conspiracy rabbit hole and is now a Holocaust denier, thinks there are child slave colonies on Mars and stares into the sun because there's a conspiracy telling us not to do that and she's going to get to the bottom of it and unlock her super chakra. I think some people are just so thoroughly lacking in critical thinking skills that you can convince them of just about anything if you explain it in an authoritative manner.

          I had friends try to come at me with con trails, fake moonlanding, bs. I just unloaded about all the real shit going on, why the fuck do you care about this bs, are you that cozy? Last week they mentioned they are basically communist.

            honestly those old school conspiracies are almost endearing at this point compared to modern anti-vaccine, anti-woke and accusing everyone of pedophilia (except your own politicians) crap

            moon landing one is fun to entertain as a bit.

              Very true. It was that they seemed to think that this was proof the government was lying. Too which my reaction was, oh really? (pulls out real spookums)

          I dunno. I think life would be more fun if I thought I was one really good meditation session away from getting superpowers

        First reaction was that she didn't believe famous people are real, which is a much more fun thing to believe

        The starts aren't real but you aren't supposed to talk about it. They might hear you and get angry

      Comes with the risk of marrying a white American, vast majority of them are politically deranged and disconnected from reality

        I'm wondering how many of these people were "spiritual" before 'cause that's a self-identifier that indicates a mark like these 99% of the time.

        In my experience it's not exactly political derangement, but rather the arrogance of thinking they have the freest media and know better than anyone else.

          This is the truth. Americans used to say shit like "I get my news from fox and CNN so therefore I am objective."

            Plato was a time Traveller and his allegory of the cave was him trying to explain Americans ti ancient Greeks

              At this point I'd genuinely believe that is the truth.

              Plato: "Lights come out of a box and make shapes and the people stare at it."

              Other Greeks: "like fire making shadows?"

              Plato, exhausted, going home: "yeah, sure, whatever helps you get it."

                Plato: "So anyway, the people who stare at these boxes are stupid assholes but you can never convince them that they're wrong."

                Other Greeks: Frantic note taking
