Man, that's a rough birthday, though. I wish your Dad well and your family peace
There's an insidious parallel pandemic taking place in the world: truth decay
I started working in a drinking water treatment plant and learned within the first week how wilfully ignorant you would have to be to believe that water fluoridation is a type of conspiracy
Not because of anything someone told me, but due to what I experienced first-hand
Ask questions. Be skeptical. Don't trust authority on it's own, look for the facts. Think critically
All valid and important actions that incidentally have nothing to do with latching on to whatever batshit crazy deception you can find on the Internet. It's like the black and white thinking you write about... Tribalism, really. As if reality and our attempts to make sense of it can be neatly cleaved up into opposing sides, and those sides are fighting to the death for.... reasons
I have a stupid little maxim that I live by: withhold forming opinions about things you know nothing about
When you're at that stage, regarding anything, you need to be forming questions instead
A friend of mine was laying out in the sun. Noticed some shiny speckles on her skin. Then noticed it was all over the leaves on the trees near her. Then noticed there was a contrail above her. Then decided to post a video on Facebook blaming the jet for spraying crap all over her yard.
Some friends were chiming in with pictures saying the jet was spraying their trees too...
I could tell some were new to the whole chem trail nonsense on the internet. It's interesting how fast people will believe something. Social media plays a huge role in spreading bunk. People don't necessarily trust the information, but they trust their friends.
It's true. It's sad. Like the fact that you know a person elevates their mouth-sounds or writings to a level of absolute authority. And it's tough. What do you do in that situation? Insert yourself into the conversation and try to show people the idiocy of it all? That'll go over well I'm sure. As long as people feel personally attacked when ideas are challenged there's little hope of improving the situation. Not get involved at all and leave people to their ignorance? Probably the only real option on the table... But doesn't bode well for the future of the species.
I don't know what I want to say here...
I wish people had more humility
I actually stumbled into a video today where an individual was smiling, even chuckling at some points, and talking about depopulation at the same time. Claiming parents are poisoning their kids and have no right to feed them unless they grow or get the food from a "poison-free farm" rather than the grocery store.
So I asked a few questions. Doubt I'll get even one honest answer...
What's a guy gotta do to get some turnip token around here...
Right!?

It was tree sap or honeydew...
What! For real?
Jesus...
