I sometimes visit the successor site of the_donald to see them erase their memories in real-time. They were 1000% sure it was a Dem black person yesterday. They even had insider info from police connections. Today it's crickets and false flag.

(There's always, always, without fail, accusations of false flags. From CIA, from FBI, from antifa, from George Soros, from Bill Gates. How do you even talk to people like this?)

Alex Jones sets a lot of that up too. It’s really disturbing. He’ll talk about how there’s going to be a false flag shooting preemptively any time there is a big protest or similar planned. It’s almost like he’s outright calling for it to happen, giving permission to some psycho with a gun because they know he’ll cover for them.

Oh I don't doubt Alex Jones is still at it. I don't follow closely at all to the conservative-sphere but they all absolutely incite stochastic terrorism.

And they all are quick to discard previous and current beliefs as if they never happened. It's kind of crazy how efficient they all are at converging on the same new belief when the previous one becomes too indefensible.

You don’t it will only tighten the brainwashing screws even tighter

What site is that? Truth social?

[–] okmko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Pm'ed you the site. I don't want to draw more attention to it. I suspect the posting is highly curated anyway. It's more of a bubble than r/conservative.

I got it, thanks. But yeah that place sounds terrible. Don’t think I need to visit there.
