this shits wild. these alien brainworms are spreading to normies. one of my friends who is vaguely left (supported bernie and went to BLM protests, but has a three arrows sticker on their car 
) has been drawn in.
this person is smart (valedictorian in high school) and they are generally pretty grounded. but their sister is in the military and recently told them to “take this alien stuff seriously” and now they’re convinced. i kinda just joked around about it and they looked at me like i was the crazy one when i said i didnt think aliens have ever been to earth. how?! they mentioned the “non-human remains” found in a craft and when i suggested it could be a dog or bird they gave me a “seriously?” look and acted like i was being overly cynical. i have a record of cynicism for sure, but this shit is so obviously BS. i ended up just killing the convo by giving the ole “ill believe it when i see it”
i honestly dont care if they believe in aliens but its just so weird how common this alien discussion is now. ive had like 5 people bring it up to me unprompted in the past week or two.
Like someone on here said the other day, it's wild seeing the general public go crazy over this shit while niche super left spaces like hexbear are more skeptical and moderate about it.
im kinda used to it considering 99% of amerikans swallow western propaganda hook, line, and sinker. but this is different, more shocking. like, the probability of this being aliens is incredibly thin and there is ZERO proof. its turning everyone into conspiracy theorists
What's bad too are the reactionaries screaming about how all this is the lead up to Project Blue Beam and we're going to see Jesus streamed into the night sky asking Christians to lay down their arms and embrace the greys.
It'll be an even stupider project blue beam that'll have
as Jesus because Charlton Heston is dead.
I think it's because the source of the psyop is pretty directly the federal government and the military. We already assume everything they say is exactly false.
