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.
It was tree sap or honeydew...
What! For real?
Jesus...
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...
Sounds delusional. Or put on for views/likes (profits). Unreal...
Just imagine the response you'd get from a farmer. Where I'm from, you'd leave the ensuing discussion with less teeth
Honest answers... I won't hold my breath
Good onya for doing so, though. If nothing else, someone might see your dialogue with this person and have their scepticism ignited
I get a kick out of some of these people. "Yeah. I'm awesome! I grow all my food now." Spend months waiting. Maybe yield two large salads and a bag of potatoes.
😄
Haha oh yes. Doesn't matter what sphere of activity it is, people will find a way to use it to feel superior to others. I think this is the real driving force beneath a lot of conspiracy theories. Especially the implausible ones. If we humans can be guaranteed to do anything, that thing is one-upmanship
If you grow your own food, more power to you I say
Indeed it's something I'd like to do one day
But I'm realistic, the chances that I could ever live exclusively on what I grow are low
I don't really want to either; kind of misses the point of living I think
