Yeah I was helping a patient and her husband whipped out the "it was space lasers!" Conspiracy.
I think people would rather believe in space lasers, because the reality that our government has sacrificed multiple cities in the last five years is far too upsetting
Honestly I think if Bernie would've run a campaign like that, fear and solidarity on one hand and redistribution and better compensation on the other he might've very well beaten Trump. Would've been a nationalistic imperialist social democrat at best, but would've been interesting to see the showdown.
These people have never heard of thermal blooming
wait lol you're saying yanks are blaming China for Maui what on Earth 
China laser beams
Yea according to info wars the government left on power to downed power lines and barricaded people into their communities so they could kill them all with fire so the globalist can buy up the land super cheap.
Wait where does China come in then
Because it's being done by bad people and China bad therefore China is the government of Hawaii but also obama.
Please keep up
Jewish space lasers, Chinese space lasers, cultural Marxism.
It's just Nazi "Judeo-Bolshevism". Always has been. 
I love how everyone is losing their minds nowadays
We communists are basically all depressed, anxious, etc.
Libs are frothing at their mouths with rage, seeing foreign subversion attempts everywhere, raring to go to war with anyone who threatens the rules-based international order even at the cost of WW3.
Fascists meanwhile are outright hilarious. Space Lasers, Pedophile Cabals operating from a Pizzeria basement, a Messiah that will bring them from evil (insert local fascist leader) - also openly heretical preachings in the case of religious ones, etc.
Not to mention the emergence of mocked ideologies like anarcho-capitalism or monarchism into the mainstream in countries like Argentina or Poland
There's also the small but very well funded bunch of cultists that declare that all the problems on Earth can be escaped by sending rich assholes into SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE 
Disclaimer: I mean, if all the rich assholes were launched one way into space, that may help, but that's not what the cultists mean.
Launched vaguely in the direction of our sun, I'd hope
The WASPs abandoning religion because they think the Bible sounds like liberal garbage when they actually hear any of it is hilarious.
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
Idk what the fuck Jinx is. Probably some PsyOp
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
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 🤪
Wait people seriously think space lasers started the fires in Maui?
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?
The fucking space laser thing is so fucking mind boggling to me. We all grew up knowing a cigarette butt could start a wildfire when it's dry! That has been shared knowledge for the entire lives of everyone alive.
If the Chinese wanted to start a wildfire for ????reasons???? they could send a single tourist with a bic lighter. But no, fictional fucking space lasers. What the fuck?
The nazis used to talk about how big lies were easier to believe than little lies.
The tripartite physics deboonk here is kid stuff.
Literal physical meteors, shit from the sun & all over the universe deflects off the atmosphere.
There's no way to get enough energy up there to power something like that. You would need a huge nuclear space station I bet that's still off by orders of magnitude.
God damn it my mom is talking about the same god damn DEW shit
Cancelling my Mountain Dew subscription over this.
I'm not sure about glorious communist space lasers, but I am aware of a laser us bisexuals possess...
As someone in hawaii, idk why anyone expected for the relief efforts to help any of us. The US government helps the tourist industry and the Military industrial complex, not people.
Maybe try a polite, humoring chuckle and "you can't believe everything you see on the internet."
“Directed energy weapons”?! What the fuck?
if they have giant lasers just fucking kill us, what is this geopolitical strategy here? Its like pushing your last pawn across the board to promote it into your 9th queen
Just win the fucking game at this point damn
To put us all in 15 minute cities
quelle horreur
DO THE RESEARCH 
has a plan with Starlink.
