    “Subliminal messages from ruling class on children’s TV”

    It’s just called “TV” actually.

    Finland doesn’t exist is a meme. I don’t think that one is dangerous. What is dangerous is thinking it’s funny to take any meme too far, to the point where it becomes a core part of your personality. Standing pat and denying reality may feel like a fun game when it’s only a meme.

    Oh look, a bird!

      Have you seen that airport? It’s super weird. Crazy conspiracy theories are just the natural extension of that reality.

      (Note: Not saying I buy into the theories, just saying I understand why they exist.)

      There’s some weird wayfair furniture sales for extremely large amounts of money (10k+) that use girls first names as the name of the furniture. The conspiracy is that it’s a front for child trafficking. Belief in this conspiracy caused a lot of real world harm.

    Weird infographic. Why is it a pyramid, is that supposed to give it more credibility? What is the arrow from inverted apex to inverted base indicate?

      Of course UFOs are real. The problem is people conflate them with aliens, so when I say UFOs are real, they hear “aliens are real”.
