Current reading. Some young people are actively forgoing technology, becoming jaded about the promises they offer of an easy life.

Oof. The sub-head says it all. Less popular than ice and mango man.

Some of them were probably literal paid shills.

It's just an obvious case of a minority politician being held to a higher and different standard than a senile boomer white one is.

It was weird simply as a journalist to be told by colleagues that I'm writing about a UFO type conspiracy that doesn't exist. For people this actually happened to, it was soul crushing.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Yeah, true but the X-Files conspiracies were different than stuff like Qanon.

The internet definitely played into it, especially when old people figured out how it worked and got on social media.

Something changed over time. Back in those days conspiracies were something kind of fun and the X-Files played on that. Then it turned into something else.

That the UN had black helicopters flying around America doing something nefarious.

I notice a lot of them are really concerned about having babies and creating families but apparently never got around to it themselves.

Were they written in the 1930s by chance?

Yeah I really don't know what to do with people who have never heard a lie that they didn't want to believe.

The trans stuff really resonated with a certain demographic. It became the new sharia law conspiracy which was the new black helicopters conspiracy.

I liked Ultraviolet. Most people just want to see the same movie over and over, but slightly different. I want to see something I've never seen before. Ultraviolet is no masterpiece, but it did satisfy my request.

We learned nothing, and that's just the fact of the matter.

really hard to convey how screwed up this is

How sending JSOC to dig HEU out of the rubble will win this conflict I can't possibly fathom.

I've seen so many people say that Obama was their "last straw." He was just another president. I can't see what he did that was so traumatic for them, aside from being a black guy.

Genuinely ready to hit the panic button here. Our leaders used to have to manufacture consent. Now they don't even have to do that. They can just tell lies that literally no one believes or takes seriously, and the public is like sure whatevs, at least until the price of gasoline jumps.

It's written like a note passed in class between middle school girls.

What the fuck am I even reading? 1984?

I've never understood this shit with the red heifers and all that. If the book of revelations and the end times are true accurate prophecies, isn't it on god when the time is right for that? Like how to humans get some sort of say on that one?
