Coworker. I told him to fuck off with his conspiracy bullshit. But back when I patronized him, one thing he said was that he didn’t consider belief a binary as in that you either believe something or don’t. He viewed all beliefs as a continuum. You can believe one thing 10% and another thing 90%, but he wouldn’t let me pin him down as to whether he “believed” any particular thing or not.
All while trying to convince me “tall white aliens” run the U.S. government and Sandy Hook was faked by a bunch of actors and the U.S. military had invisibility technology and planes that aren’t dumping weather-controlling chemicals don’t leave trails in the sky. Pretty standard QAnon-level bullshit. But if I asked him if he believed any of those things, he wouldn’t answer. Honestly, it makes sense as a dishonest rhetorical tactic.
Dude also literally drinks borax in his juice cleanse drink.
Brother in law has everything: hollow earth, flat earth, vaccines, chem trails.
The best: he thinks the government will steal his money if he gets a job, and that’s why he’s unemployed.
How does a hollow earth work with a flat earth.?
He never explained both at once but he was more serious about the flat earth. I guess there would be some kind of caves underneath or something where the Shrek-people were hiding. I try to avoid him actually so it’s difficult to have explanations.
One more: He had a web site for his crappy music, like some ambient and peaceful Burzum with the philosophical lyrics of a teenager (he’s 40). But the GDPR happened and he believed it was a plot from Europe to destroy all the European internet. But he was too smart for them, and he deleted his web site without asking me for explanations. He had no backups for some reason.
I mean they will steal some of your money… So that’s probably the least crazy theory
In taxes yes. But he deeply believes that all his profits will be gone and he would be working for free. The truth is that he’s a failed artist and thinks his lack or revenue was a conspiracy too so…
That’s kind of wild. I thought it was crazy enough when people thought that working more hours would equal less money after taxes.
If taxes are theft then red lights are imprisonment.
