joigus Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 I'm starting to think (as I learn more about it) it might just be a business idea that's somehow envisioned a pool of possible target customers in both idiotic conspiracy nuts and educated, if sarcastic, anti-conspiracy fellows alike. At this point, I just don't know. 33 minutes ago, iNow said: Anything which distracts people from focusing on real issues or standing up against tyrants by causing us to spin around the axle battling back untruths like these being repeated by bad actors and other badly confused individuals I strive to understand how much of these snowballing processes is intentional, and how much is just serendipity on the part of the person setting the merchandising business in motion. There is no doubt the potential (intentional or not) to manipulate people's minds for political reasons. But the business element is undeniable.

I can't edit my post now. If admins think it'd better be deleted, it's OK with me. 3 minutes ago, swansont said: If birds are imaginary you need to rotate them 90º 🤣 I shudder to think of negative birds, if they don't pick the proper phase! Alfred Hitchcock gave us a preview of what that would be like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would anger the Audubon society, and they would instigate Operation Hitchcock, with me playing Tippi Hedren's role. (again. I was dive-bombed by a B1rd some years ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're from the Spy in the Wild series. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRZWhedLhwllnac-RBxvyw They're pretty fun to watch, though nobody has been worried about spying on a turkey... yet...
