LONDON (AP) — The CCTV footage from a Dutch business park shows a man in a black cap pouring the contents of a white container at the base of a cellular radio tower. Flames burst out as the man jogs back to his Toyota to flee into the evening.
Who knew that ignorance would be limitless in the 21st century?!
This is close to peak nutcase but the agitprop from Russia promoting it puts it into a slightly different category, a category growing increasingly large as failing states seek to pull down others rather than lift themselves and their citizens up.
Russian dis-information feeding the useful idiots? Imagine that.
Clearly, these conspiracy nuts do not know what they’re doing. With 5G, their conspiracies can travel at up to 100 times faster than before.
Looks as if some percentage of any population can be convinced of things that make no logical sense. Putin understands this better than most. He told trump to us it to his advantage. Well… at least when they’re gas lighting about a deadly virus it thins their ranks a bit.
Last stat I saw was 40% of Americans believe Jesus is “returning” in the next 50 years.
Don’t need Putin for that. The wackos are already among us.
And he’s going to be a damn good baseball player!
I thought it was those windmills.
Ridiculous! Coronavirus is spread through library books!
Last year, while I had the flu, I could hear Sirius radio without a device when walking beneath 4G towers…so no doubt I will catch COVID if I walk beneath a 5G tower this year, right?
But the faster electronic communications get the dream, and the high from mimeographed pamphlets grows ever dimmer.
A conspiracy minded acquaintance stopped by my house. When I wouldn’t let him in the house and forced him to keep his distance he told me its not spread that way, its spread by your cellphone. I was wondering what he was talking about, I guess this explains it.
When a friend of mine thought that microwaves from his neighbors satellite dish were nuking his brain, he was checked into a psych ward for a few days until the effects of some poorly combined medications wore off.
When we have a group of people with similar mindsets (medically induced or not) and twitter access, someone makes sure they get the biggest microphone they can find.
Or more generally, its Facts that spread the virus, the further you get from the truth, the safer you are.
Until a 5G conspiracist burns down the tower.
I wonder how many of them are using a 5G phone?
It’s fascinating that paranoid psychoses keep pace with technology.
In the 20s and 30s, paranoids claimed that they were being controlled by the radio.
in the 50s and 60s, it was the television.
in the 80s and 90s, it was done by computer.
Now, it’s the cell phones. No one seems to grasp that “5G” is just shorthand for fifth generation.
Crazy people can be entertaining—and exhausting—to be around.
A failure of the educational systems in these countries? Some studies need to be done to link this thinking to the level of education of the perpetrators. And THEN figure out HOW to educate them, whether it be over TV, Reddit, or whatever. PAY THEM to learn and respond.
Just what is electromagnetic radiation, after all?
