This is pettier than the usual dunk tank post, but this sub is like a microcosm of propaganda. These people are convinced there’s multiple species of aliens on earth already because some moths have flown across security cameras at night and Vegas lights reflect in the clouds sometimes.
I guess I can bring it back to how America is bad, since this is exactly what the CIA wants.
What’s particularly funny about UFO nuts is all of them are convinced there’s this grand government conspiracy where they lied to US citizens for decades for their own power and profit but the moment you suggest applying the same logic to propaganda about US geopolitical enemies like China they call you a shill or whatever lmao.
Yeah, the weirdest turn in my life has been watching conspiracy nuts of the 90s turn into maga types. Decades ago these people had screwy ideas about UFOs and black helicopters, but the primary idea was the feds are the enemy and America is a fiction created to protect a small group of rich people with…magic powers or alien tech or something.
I guess that was the problem because now that I type it out I see how easily that could twist into antisemitism or Qanon or woke mobs. The conspiracy people never figured out who the enemy was, it was just “them.”
And they think there used to be a normal America that’s been subverted at some point.
