Sometimes the conspiracy theorists pop out of their echo chamber and make a statement that seems reasonable and widely accepted to them but can only be believed if you first believe 17 layers of propaganda, leaps of logic and generally brainrot. Usually all fed to them by bigots and billionaires.
Then are then surprised by normal people clowning on them and instead of reflecting, they just tell themselves they know something the normies don't and that makes them special.
That's why they all think that everyone's secretly a Nazi only they are too afraid to admit it, which is why they are constantly surprised by all of the public backlash whenever they do their nazi things.
Of course that's daft, the real Nazis have never been afraid to tell everyone who they are. Even when no one was asking.
Wrong, Israel's faction did indeed kill Kirk.
It's worse than an echo chamber that they have. It's isolated improv. They aren't just agreeing, they're "yes and"ing. Collective world building without critical thought, disagreement, or awareness that it isn't how reality works.
They are "roleplaying" with each other. Telling lies and conspiracy stories that they know are fiction, but MAGA is actually tolerant of other MAGA and as long as you are telling fiction about something that is close to MAGA they will pretend to believe it.
Except about 10% actually take that batshit crazy stuff serious.
You know that makes me want to post
Back in 2016, there was something amazing: /r/TheDonald/
I was following that in amazement. Donnie T capitalized on the army of detached dummies (deplorables) that had been cultivated by decades of Fox News (-style media). They were so detached that even mainstream republicans couldn't get a hold - Donnie T would just go further.
And by the time the 2016 election got closer, that /r/ would just go more unhinged. All the Dems and old Reps were (satanist) pedo's and if Donnie jusy got elected, he'd have them hang before the end of his first month.
Crazily, the rest of them never opposed them. They didn't call them out on it. They just went along as if they were some kind of aligned faction.
Of course after they won there were some stragglers wondering out loud when the massive pedo roundups were going to happen, but after a while that fizzled out.
Most of them are more than happy to ally themselves with the complete loonies
It clicked for me when I noticed that a lot of MAGA were just trolling. They go out in their "regalia" with Trump flags flying and see who they can bother. They like it when they get to yell and scream at "the libs" when they get yelled at for their flag ... its a social game.
Its the same as listening to each other tell obviously fake stories. "What?!? JFK Jr. is not dead? He is coming back to be Trumps running mate?" "What? Micheal Jackson isn't dead?"
Corporate billionaires then weaponized this. Hatred sells. That is a commercially proven fact. The woke agenda is born. Trans hatred. Gay pride. They focused in on things that made MAGA a little uncomfortable and started telling their own lies and stories about them and MAGA goes along with it because they dont want to get kicked out of "the game".
They also say things that don't make any sense if someone understands how a calendar works.
I personally dont think this is far fetched. There seems to have been a cover up about his death. The alleged shooter was maga. Kirk was going against Israel, and could have been a significant problem and priority target for israel, but for anyone else, he was just a racist POS, and very low significance, if someone wished to assassinate with goals of slowing maga down.
However, he was probably quite relevant for young people, so I could see it going either way, but I dont find the theory Israel was responsible is too much of a stretch, and it appears powerful people didnt want the public to learn too much about it.
The official story is bullshit. He was NOT hit with a 30.06, that rifle would have blown a fist sized hole out the back of his neck. The shooter didn't dissassmble the rifle in 1 minute flat into that little bag. Then they don't find the rifle with dogs the sheriffs bring around, but the FBI finds it fully assembled right under the dog's noses?
That is wrong on at least three scores. They are lying to us, obviously, lending credence to the Israel angle.
