The Wire producer and longtime Baltimore chronicler David Simon ripped into conspiracists spreading unfounded theories that today’s tragic and deadly collapse of the city’s Francis Scott Key Bridge could be a terrorist attack. Simon, a reporter for the Baltimore Sun before creating Homicide: Life On The Street, reserved a special ire for Marjorie Taylor Greene, […]
No one really knows the whole story. But there are factors that lean into the side of conspiracy. Several redundant systems would need to have coincidentally failed in order for the ship to steer and stay off-course the way it did. All this in the backdrop of food plants blowing up, the Biden administration blowing up Nordstream, it’s not hard to be skeptical in such times.
Do the world a favor, go live in a cave and make sure to close off all entrances.
Sage advice, brother. Clearly they’re going to release another bio-weapon, crash the world economy, and trigger riots throughout the country. While all this is going on, nuclear war will start in the middle east, and from there spread all over the world. China and Russia will team up and try to take over a weakened United States.
Things are about to get real, for sure, but hiding only works very short term. I think the only way forward, after the initial attacks, is to link up with other like-minded people that share your values, and care for one another more than themselves. Even Mark Zuckerberg with his $100M bunker in Hawaii (with a submarine escape hatch) won’t stand a chance. It’s all delusion to think we’re going to survive what’s coming on material preparation alone.
You’re totally right though. We need to get out of the cities (they’re going to be death traps) and get as much storable food as you can.
Several things need to happen or fail in EVERY accident. Every car accident is a mix of multiple factors at once; weather, driver inattentiveness, other traffic or obstacles, etc. It doesn’t mean every car accident or plane or boat crash is a conspiracy.
Believe the true conspiracies. Disbelieve the false ones.
It’s not about believing, you should check assumptions and claims. Like the “several redundant systems” and main engine problems never occuring.
Jeez, it just shows you have no fucking clue. Main engine problems happen regularly with a big enough fleet of vessels. Meaning, it doesn’t happen often, but with hundreds of vessels it happens often enough.
If you’d just have investigated the assumption how often main engines have issues you’d see this Google result: https://issuu.com/marinetrust/docs/w71/s/12145703
Meaning, it happens often.
Secondly, that “several redundant systems”. Wtf are you talking about here? A spare backup main engine?!?
You’re assuming.
God I genuinely hope once a day while eating you randomly manage to bite your tongue. I hope it happens so much that one day you swallow a piece of it on accident and develop an addiction to the taste. Then one day you’ll kiss someone you love and suddenly you’ll find yourself swallowing their tongue, deaf to their screams. You’ll face your loved one in a trial and beg for their forgiveness and even if they wanted to they would not be able to reply. Then when you are thrown in solitary, you’ll starve yourself knowing what you did, and that you don’t deserve their sympathy, but still dream of the flavor as you took your lovers speech forever.
