I guess this is old news at this point, but cranks of all sorts were circulating crazy conspiracies about the lunar eclipse. At the barbershop I went to I overheard some hogs discussing how the eclipse was a cover up for China attacking the US and a cyber attack. They wanted us all looking at the sky to avoid us noticing the disruption to our electric grid/internet, apparently, and the US government was going along with it because the woke left or whatever is clearly in charge and in league with the Chinese communists.

Just truly unhinged shit what-the-hell

Remember when the EAS tests and the eclipse were supposed to turn anyone who got the Covid shot into mindless zombies?

“Elect her? Why wouldn’t the communists just make her dictator?”

“No man they have to elect her with fake votes or else people rebel”

Anything involving communists having any actual power in america sounds disconnected from reality but the person saying that almost always define communists as the liberal bourgeois.

Paraphrasing someone answering similar questions:

Oh, you know the type. They brag about their limousines and $700 shoes.

Why yes, that is communism.

That's just what capitalists want though. Capitalists want to eliminate personal property.

I still can't get over this boomer telling me, next to an empty bike lane and an empty road, that she hates biking infrastructure because one bicycle can cause a four mile traffic jam.

Never once have I seen a traffic jam extending beyond a block here. Every single time it has been for road repair, a car accident, or wildlife trying to cross a road without dying. I don't even know where such a fucking stupid idea could come from.

Whenever I visit my parents and we go somewhere, they, without fail, will complain about bike lanes and how they destroy the roads. All it did was turn a giant ambiguous lane into an explicit, reasonable sized lane that accommodates anything from sedan to semitruck. But for some reason they just raise their heart rates complaining about it and democrats and how no one rides bikes and they take up space lol

If anything, Bidden became a good candidate for ruling the worst polity in the world recently.

The NYTimes & BBC are communist. But I guess that's not new.

Anything you can get through Indian news these days outside a select few outlets

Indian news

I spoke briefly to a very white chud in a Trump 2024 hat, and he referred to himself as being 'indian'. I think it's some bit related to 'red americans' or something. They wish so hard to be an oppressed minority. The chud was also a small business owner and land owner according to what he said in the short conversation.

The chuds are very confused.

Indian MAGA dudes are insane they will just start monologuing about InfoWars shit in the middle of a hiking trail on a sunny day. I have encountered the same phenomenon. Dude was making his Gf super uncomfortable.

I was sent this today. Does that count or is it just misinformation?
