“I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures all over the internet of people who have had these shots and now they’re magnetized,” Tenpenny said to the panel of lawmakers.
“They can put a key on their forehead and it sticks … There have been people who have long suspected there’s an interface, yet to be defined, an interface between what’s being injected in these shots and all of the 5G towers.”
The comments backfired. Gross’ bill stalled out after Tenpenny’s comments. And they sparked the investigation that would cost Tenpenny her license.
Nutter lost her license. Good.
the claim that major metro areas are “liquifying dead bodies and pouring them into the water supply.”
Welp, that one’s new to me
So I think things like this, and like the one about harvesting knee fluid from patients to resell on the black market, are actually a feature of the conspiracy theories.
If you start buying into something pretty plausible, and then later you come to your senses, it’s not that painful to just let it go and admit you were wrong. If, on the other hand, you buy into something that’s clearly batshit insane, then you can’t admit you were wrong and that any toddler could have seen that it didn’t make sense. Because at that point it’s tantamount to admitting that you’re a helpless gullible moron whom no one should ever listen to again.
And presto, you’re in deep, and you can’t let go, or you pay a terrible cost.
Wait so I can’t sell knee fluid? 😕 then what do I do with all these milk jugs full of the stuff I been harvesting.
Yah it’s worthless dude, sorry to tell you. I can take it off your hands for you though, just DM me, I’ll pay shipping.
Wait…my knees are pretty garbage. How would you know if your knee fluid had been harvested?
I think it’s subconscious. Once people have their identity sufficiently tied into a set of beliefs, it can be impossible to see their own logical mistakes. This can go for religion, politics, conspiracies, etc.
Maybe check out George Lakoff’s excellent book on the concept of reality framing, “Don’t Think Of An Elephant.”
