Bit of a relief to be honest. Someone needed to shut the universe down until we figure out what the hell is going on.
Someone get a bucket and a mop for this alien leaking ass asshole.
So what % of Americans actually believe stuff like this? 2-3%? 5%?
inb4 "most Americans are religious so about 80%"
At least 17% as of 2022 so it's probably more by now.

Chris Hedges talks a lot about this, how material conditions continue to degrade people turn to magical thinking.
Yeah but most Qanon people aren't fully into all this alien invasion crap, they just believe Hollywood is full of pedophiles (correct) and Trump is going to save the children from migrant hordes of satanic criminals (incorrect). I wanna know how many true freaks that believe in reptilian aliens there are.
Hm. I don't know. I just assumed they were into the outlandish shit too like alieums and time travel and stuff.
I think that given enough time, someone who gets into Qanon and stays in whatever community is beaming that garbage into their heads will slowly radicalize and start believing in that stuff. But there's kind of a balance to it, where some people who are fully into it stop believing as time goes on and nothing happens.
Well, 50 billion alien shadow invaders are just 50 billion friends I haven't met yet as far as I'm concerned.
We should be grateful; in the alien presidency the other guy was going to send 70 billion ships!
There is a surprisingly alright Dr Who spinoff series called "Class" where the central big bad is a genocidal army of shadow people that just, like, step outta a person's shadow and shank 'em.
If Class is anything to go by, we simply need to find a teenage girl with sufficient anger issues to fight these aliens' leader in an arena kinda like a Dark Souls boss to fix this.
i am willing to defect to the aliens, especially if they let me pilot an alien mecha against the imperialists
Sometimes I think about that one time I did a PCP analogue and went fully manic and started thinking this way, and then afterwards told myself "never again".
But hey, maybe again
it's time to put on makeup
it's time to dress up right
it's time to meet the 60 billion aliens coming in through the shadows, the light, by shockwave tonight
this is actually happening, but QTHESTORMM is just living in a much more interesting parallel universe, kinda jealous tbh
You could make a fun unfiction project from that. Post this kind of stuff and everyone thinks you're crank, but then it ends up being a story about an account from a parallel universe that somehow can post to here.
"The Man in the High Castle" but instead of finding a book, he finds a phone with access to alternate universe twitter where the US was defeated by the USSR in 1930 and he just malds for 500 pages about having to live in dog-water US-hegemony world
