Well, let's start off with the trucker convoy style Canadians attacking and stealing from firefighters, that's directly affecting me

My own damn mom is talking about directed energy weapons re: Maui. People should be talking about single occupant vehicles. I had to go to Zhao Dashuai's Twitter and show her China's war of the worlds style lazers, how short the range is. They don't look like star wars! She used to know this crap! She's not even old dude!

Can you guys please reply to this with all the crazy tiktok and elon disinformation crap so I know what to expect? I'm scared lmao

I don't even know what is going on I was in the shower. Maui? Directed energy weapons? War of the Worlds?

A bone-hurting number of people died in the Maui firestorm because of traffic & nobody getting rid of downed trees & live power lines the police were roadblocking people from, a number of people ignored their instructions & drove around or offroad and they survived. I don't trust a word out of that police chief's mouth after what they accomplished. CYOA time

never trust a word out of any cop's mouth ever

Can’t wait for the Jinx edit about him fucking this up and relating it to the Las Vegas country festival mass shooting.

I remember that student who ran tbe Marina Oswald twitter saying he was a crypto reactionary I forget why. I do like the genre

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Idk what the fuck Jinx is. Probably some PsyOp

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Jinx is a prolific poster of short video compilations with a leftist slant that are also very conspiracy heavy. Stuff like accusing the police of killing people domuring the Las Vegas shootings, Ukraine of shooting down prigozhin, the us of orchestrating 9/11, cops of killing Ferguson protest leaders. Their videos are often utterly incomprehensible, it's like BMF but in video format

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, I’m familiar with the videos. I meant I don’t know who Jinx is, whether they’re a “crypto reactionary” as the post I replied to said or some psyop.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ahhh okay. Yeah I've got no idea, but I like the videos, it's like bmf-posts on tape. And some of them are good as agitprop.
Yeah wow I now realise you were the one to mention jinx initially. My bad!

I just think the documentary style of dramatically panning across a photo works better when it's not mostly wikipedia snippets

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The cop is a crypto reactionary?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nah it's a prolific poster of short videos that have a leftist slant but are also very conspiracy heavy. This poster goes by the name of jinx, and someone says that poster is a cryptifascist

War of the Worlds lasers are clear. Star Wars lasers are green and red.

Tiktok videos of a laser coming out of the sky have been edited out of videos of industrial explosions. People believe these composites more if you lower the image resolution again after you make it 🤪

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait people seriously think space lasers started the fires in Maui?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

People believed a long dead Kennedy would return to life and coronate God-Emperor Trump and begin a great purge and clear their credit card debts while also curing their diseases with "med beds." Are space lasers that much of a stretch?
