Plus, the invisibility of a thing does not stop the conspiracy loons from building conspiracies around it. 5G RF is invisible, yet still being used by the government to control our brains. For chemtrails, the conspiracy is just going to turn into: "They're spraying invisible chemicals all over us to turn us into communists." There's no end to it.

Well it's one of the main last-mile mediums people use to doomscroll their propaganda feeds, so... yes?


It's funny how often the conspiracy types are both right and wrong. We have precision targeted ~~propaganda~~ content streaming straight to the tracking device everyone willingly carries, but they land on 5G being some sci-fi form of mind control.

It's some form of motivated reasoning. The same people who will tell you a secret cabal of billionaires controls the government will roll their eyes if you bring up the heritage foundation.


I can't upvote this enough.

I would find CT believers fascinating if it also wasn't sad. I have one in the family and she lives below the poverty line and has been missing most of her teeth since her late forties (fluoride works, people).


They can't abide pretend child endangerment happening in pizza basements, but point out the Catholic church or Trump perving on Miss Teen USA contestants in their dressing room and they don't seem to care.


It's like those bell curve memes.


How do you know they arent already spraying invisible communist chemicals all the time? * Adjusts tinfoil hat *


I enjoy the conspiracy theories about conspiracy theories.
