Why do you think the morons are burning down 5G towers?

I didn't realize that they had a "purpose" in doing it.

No, not joking.

Fools in my own community are going apeshit about a proposed tower here in town.

It's hard to believe that people are getting dumber, but the evidence really points to it.

There are so many of these deluded flights of paranoia and they have been around for a long time.

If you haven't looked into those basements of hysteria, unsubstantiated claims and theories that come from people who think of fact checking as a wasted effort, then you may not want to know more about this growing threat to our collective sanity.

Even countries like Russia and China, etc. are capitalizing on these deluded "truth" seekers who deal with mostly admixtures of reality and fantasy and live on a steady diet of false equivalences and fallacies. They seem to live in an alternative reality and when they start to act on it, it even becomes dangerous as in harmful and deadly.

It was in 2017 or 2018. Not exactly groundbreaking, pandemics are the top of the list of severe threats. I'm guessing they are going after him to gobble up references to his speech. He's one of those smart people you know.

As far as the 5G. Other than just being morons I'm guessing it's an anti-global thing or fear of smart people.

the nutters throw out a bunch of ideas like dice in the table and what shows up is the latest conspiracy theory. I have never seen it..one reason I stay OFF FB except to post scathing stuff about trump*

"Anti-vaxers are the only idiots more consistently fucking stupid than Herr Trump's cult of idiot racist fuckheads"

that Venn diagram is almost just a circle isn't it?

Sadly, we see a far-too-large number of anti-vax cultists here on DU.

Love the idea, though!

I'm not linking to any of his cartoons. Here's hit Twitter account.

.... from a very Liberal friend no less. I just don't get it. I never respond to those kinds of posts.

How can one tell? That's like saying a sewer has exploded with bacteria.

for punching bags to take it out on. Right now, those are bogeymen for the Alex Jones crowd.

It will get worse.

Though I'm not surprised, given that those types were vile enough to claim that Sandy Hook was faked by gun control advocates.

Poor Bill Gates...well he should be grateful he at least is not being accused of running child sex rings that sell pizza or whatever that other piece of drivel is..
