Or it highlights that the conspiracy is "bigger than we ever thought possible !!!!"But surely all this highlights is that there is no conspiracy? If you have to keep coming up with more outlandish claims as events happen?

Welcome to the world of CTBut surely all this highlights is that there is no conspiracy? If you have to keep coming up with more outlandish claims as events happen?
Oh yeah, I hadn't thought of thatOr it highlights that the conspiracy is "bigger than we ever thought possible !!!!"
The Americans are definitely worse off than us in the state of CTs that’s for sureThe CT world in the states were going crazy just before Biden's inauguration. They were completely convinced he'd be led away in handcuffs and Trump reinstated as POTUS.
I read the fora for a giggle but I ended up feeling quite sad for some of the people on them. They were truly invested and honestly believed this would happen, because they'd been whipped into a frenzy by people who should really know better.
That's when I realised how dangerous a lot of these people can be and how they use vulnerable people to further their own agenda.
So far beyond Roswell and fluoride these days. Just awful.
Also the amount of people I know who are now having Lockdown babies from having nothing else to do for a year as a depopulation tactic it definitely seems to have been the oppositeWhat I never understood about covid being a depopulation tactic, was from the beginning it took the elderly, frail and vulnerable, who (at the risk of sounding insensitive but I don’t mean to) would have less time left populating the planet than the younger people
You've hit the nail on the head with the privilege explanation. Thank you.Believing in CT, especially the anti vaxx and covid denier ones is such a first world privilege. We’re so safe, we know where our next meal is coming from, where we will sleep tonight, that we’re in good health, that we have money to survive. It’s almost like people who fall down the rabbit holes are bored, they need something. You won’t find as many people (if any) in developing countries subscribing to these ideas because they’re too busy surviving or in the case of Covid dealing with the mass deaths and overstretched medical care.
I have a friend who is Indian and lives in India and I’ll believe her when she tells me what she’s living through. She’s certainly not getting paid to promote vaccines or covid info. She’s just trying to survive whilst watching her country implode. She wishes she could get the vaccine but their roll out has been a mess from day one and the government have lost control.
I probably haven't explained this very well but ... I think it comes from a potent combination of their history and politics with a bit of religion thrown in. The perception that their ancestors were escapees from persecution, the frontier spirit of individuals standing up for themselves and that America achieved freedom by facing down (the British) government. The pervasive nonsense of a land of opportunity for all and a deep suspicion of authority. I hear so many Americans talking about their rights and freedoms.@_basic_ I wonder why that is? We have our fair share in Australia but nowhere near as rabid as the US. I'm a transplanted Canadian and it's nowhere near like America, despite being right next door. Very strange, eh!
I've always thought that 'peppers' were a forerunner of the more aggressively political conspiracy theorists.That makes sense to me @Moth. I've had to stop myself getting into an argument with an American friend regarding gun control legislation. He pretty much did the fingers-in-ears lalala thing when I tried to explain my views regarding the Port Arthur massacre and our government's reaction to it by banning and buy-back schemes. All he could say was that it was his right to own as many guns as he wanted.
As you said, a potent mix and it seems to seep into everything. Preppers are a prime example of this attitude as well.
Definitely helped with the common cold, IMO. Usually between Sep-May, I'll pick up several colds. A few nasty, stay off work ones, too.

Scientists believe that the COVID-19 pandemic safety measures such as masking and social distancing might have inadvertently resulted in several flu strains going extinct. Since March 2020, researchers haven’t detected two previously common strains of the flu, according to Gizmodo. More...apple.news
