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.

To be fair the conspiracy conversation was years ago. But I did have you're initial reaction.

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

She wanted him to pay $2500 for a Reiki healing class where you just hover your hands over people and channel good vibes into them.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
