Lol. That's rich! Do you think that I sat around one day thinking "hey Maude, I know exactly what the gubment is doin up there in Warshington. They got them there aliens holed up in secret bases and they have mind control goin on all of us to make us pay more taxes"? Despite the notion that that is what most people, like you, think about people who speak against the dictated narratives the government wants you to think....we aren't some "lunatic fringe" rednecks sitting in a shack heating up 2 week old road kill possum over a candle for dinner.
I was just like (gasp) YOU a few years ago. There was no way in hell someone could tell me that 911 was planned by our government, the CIA killed Kennedy, Covid was developed and planned years before it hit, etc. I would have been just like you sitting there and ridiculing (although not as eloquently as you did) those who "spoke of that nonsense". Being fascinated with science and studying it in college along with the inherent belief that our leaders, although corrupt at varying degrees, had the best interest of our population in their heart after they skimmed their cut off the top, I had a certain logic that closed off my mind to "alternative" explanations of certain things/events. Nobody held me down and "brainwashed" anything into me. I knew something wasn't right with the entire covid thing when it hit. The timing of it, along with G. Floyd, the riots, and the election were all too coincidental. I simply started researching covid out of my nerdness for all things medical. What I found led me down the path of seeing the truth of those in power and who they really are. I did my own research and saw the evidence for myself. In my hardheaded logical mind, there was way more than enough to convince me that what we are told is much different than what the reality is. I saw everything for myself and formed my own conclusions.
The thing is that, at the end of the day, not many people are going to sit there and become "enlightened" to what they consider a "conspiracy theory" just by listening to someone they already consider an idot on some weather message board.
It's fine you don't believe these things. I was exactly in that same mindset a few years ago. It's ok by me that you dont believe (or don't want to believe) these things. I'm just having a discussion, and you thinking I'm a dumbass is totally fine with me. I already know I'm a dumbass.
