What's really scary is when you know exactly how it works and it's still a conspiracy

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

The real conspiracies are bleak af

Feds and crack, for instance...

I didn't want the other one on my own car, but this one I would love to have as a bumper sticker.

Whole conspiracy theories are spread in order to detract from the real ones. UFOs were originally cover for actual Secret military aircraft. Anyone who said they saw a UFO would be dismissed as a lunatic. The government has covered up chemical poisoning. Just look at agent organe and burn pits during the Gulf war. They've done all kinds of abhorrent shit and anytime someone comes out with a theory about a corporation or government trying to do some shady shit they get dismissed as crazy.

Just look at privacy invasion. If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to worry about. You're just being paranoid! They have privately owned license plate readers that any law enforcement officer can access without a warrant. That's a lot different than them tracking your phone. A police officer can use that to come after anyone they don't like or spy on their spouse or ex. Insanity.

So... if I don't understand Belgian politics, does that mean it's a conspiracy theory?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You have a strange idea about what 'anything' means.

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Take the quotation marks away, and the sentence would still be correct. I have a strange idea about what literally anything means.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I can tell.

maybe the bumper sticker misspelled “everything”

[–] thedirtyknapkin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

nah, anything is more correct here. it's like and/or vs neither/nor. "i do understand everything" is the grammatical opposite of "i don't understand anything". "i don't understand everything" is a different sentence entirely. it would only imply that there are aspects of "everything" they don't understand, rather than that there is nothing they understand.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Then I guess Resol completely misunderstood it.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, because Belgium isn't a real country — it's parts of two other countries pretending to be their own thing. We all just let them enjoy their little game.

That shitstain has been such a shitstain for at least 14 years!

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would guess his whole life. He probably said something racist coming out of the birth canal.
