the "nothing ever happens" brigade

anyone got any friends that belong in this category?

Covid and Ukraine aside as they've been well and truly done to death on here.

But the same people pushing the above also seem to think nearly every news story is fake or something else.

Volcano other side of the world? didnt happen

Turkey earthquake? didnt happen/us weapon

Chinese weather balloon? didn't happen.

Any space mission ever? didn't happen.

Snowing in Spain? Fake plastic snow (not kidding)

I know 3 or 4 people now like this it's infruriating, what's going on??

oh and my personal favourite, Aliens are real obviously (who built the pyramids??) but in the next few years there will be a FAKE Alien invasion to scare us all... for reasons

I'm much more worried about the nodding dog types that believe everything they're told and question nothing

Re: the "nothing ever happens" brigade

Social media seems to have made idiocy contagious, and the echo chamber nature of it reinforces the strength of their convictions.

I can understand teenagers believing in conspiracy theories about everything, because a) they find reality boring and b) they're very gullible. Sad when adults do the same.

Surely those are those people Mike, they just believe everything they read in telegram groups rather than a newspaper

We are catching up to USA where their conspiracy theorists are stark raving mad.

Cue Matt Le Tissier who has definitely lost the plot

Re: the "nothing ever happens" brigade

I’m absolutely a mistruster of the Covid narrative, but don’t try to put me in with all those other things you listed.

Smeary crap, Anon, son.

''I'm much more worried about the nodding dog types that believe everything they're told and question nothing''


The thing is though that is the standard defense that crackpots use as their argument when you question them ''wake up'' they say, in utter confidence that they are the clued up streetwise one and you are the gullible idiot, it's actually pretty fucking offensive, and when you ask them so when will this thing happen or when will you be proved to be correct the answer is always ''wait and see'' so they just keep saying that indefinitely with the knowledge that you can't actually prove them wrong that it won't happen. Mental.

Point taken, but there is a huge overlap, sorry but it's true

Mr Anon is obviously a government shill employed by the Jews.

I agree with you but probably not in the way you might think.
Heard a really interesting programme on the radio last week which examined the history of zoonotic viral pandemics.
They crop up sometimes in wild animal populations with bats being particular prone due them sleeping close together in large numbers in confined spaces. These are perfect conditions for mutations to happen due to fast cycles of infection and reinfection.
The large majority though were due to human poultry farming as these accidentally recreate those perfect conditions for fast virus mutation. This was first recognised in the late nineteenth century as fowl plague which leads to cross-infection in wild bird populations which then jumps species as dead wild birds get eaten by scavengers and sometimes to humans for the saem reason albeit eating infected farmed birds.
MERS was a similar story but started in camel auctions where the animals were corralled close together for a long time.

Re: the "nothing ever happens" brigade

It's concerning the number of people that jump on these now. There's a healthy level of suspicion and then there's these nut jobs. I have to wonder about these COVID conspiracy types of which there are a lot, who actually stands to gain from this? Do you really think that the gov are injecting nanobots into people? Do you really think drug companies that are already caked up would go such a high risk route for extra profit? It's actually funny that northerners were smashing up 5g masts though I have to say.

You only need to believe in a few things to survive. Gravity for example.

Everything else is just chit chat to pass the time.

These types of people don't exist

Mr Anon 2:21 Sun Feb 12
Re: the "nothing ever happens" brigade

You need to believe in gravity to survive? Will you float off if you don't? Would solve a few problems...

zebthecat 2:24 Sun Feb 12
Re: the "nothing ever happens" brigade

Er, gravity just is.

Nurse Ratched 2:33 Sun Feb 12
Re: the "nothing ever happens" brigade

I agree with almost everything you say, Mr Anon, but surely you'd have to be hopped up on Victory Gin and pathetically compliant to believe that bears are real.

"they just believe everything they read in telegram groups rather than a newspaper"

no idea what telegram is, but if you still think newspapers tell the truth then you're beyond help. I get the feeling if you'd been about a few hundreds years ago, you would have been quite comfortable with a neighbour being burnt at the stake for thinking different
