‘It’s mindblowing’: US meteorologists face death threats as hurricane conspiracies surge
You think the guy can create hurricanes and you're gonna threaten him?
There's something so frustrating about the liberal acceptance of right-wing media. Something like Fox News is transparently pure evil and based on nothing but lies, and yet liberals are so gullible that they refuse to destroy it, even though doing so would help them directly.
While I can't speak for liberal policy makers and higher-ups, the average liberal voter is so supportive of civility politics and "free speech" that it's going to get them killed. A protest I was at recently had neo-confererate counter protestors and a progressive lib I spoke to at the protest said that while they didn't like the neo-confererates, they had as much right to be out there as we did, and we have to respect their freedom of speech.
So yeah, the frustration is real.
Liberals voters are fucking idealists and they don't understand power. When they lose they'll be so confused because they followed all the rules! They think politics has refs or something. Most won't even care too much, they'll keep shifting further and further right as the empire decays.
Maybe. Just maybe. And it's a small fucking maybe of an idea. But if the cops also cracked down on the right wing goons even if they protested 100% peacefully I could understand the liberal civility fetishism.
But of course they never do until they get 100% out of pocket. The cops aren't like tripping them with bikes and claiming they were assaulted when one of the fascist thumb-men stumbles into them.
As I've said before that Voltaire idealism bullshit is gonna get some or all of them killed.
A lot of liberals agree with a lot of what is said on Fox News, they just wish Fox had "better" optics and sensibilities
Liberal media obfuscating class struggle is also transparently evil and based on nothing but lies. They can't destroy Fox News. To do that they would at least need to offer something that could stand up to scrutiny.
Man maybe they should have dome something about fox news decades ago.
Fox News, social media, hell even traditional media. All of these things have given and outsized voice not just to conspiracy theorists, but to the oil industry as well which has kept spreading misinformation about global warming. This country was fucked a long time ago when it didn't put oil executives and shareholders where they belong.
And now those responsible are shifting the blame onto fascism's usual scapegoats, the poor, the sick, immigrants, lgbtq+ and intellectuals.
:pit:
What a time to be alive
"Peasant mindset" except that'd be flat out insulting to peasants.
if you can call this living!
I remember when I'd enjoy reading HAARP conspiracies online every time there'd be some strong storm or hot spot in the ocean in the Gulf of Mexico from the sliver of Alex Jones knockoffs that I'd come across as a young 20-something.
I miss the days when I could imagine wack-a-doo conspiracy theories as unserious and fun.
What, are the chuds mistaking forecasts with Sympathetic Magick Rituals at this point?
"I saw them, bold as brass, they drew these little diagrams of where the storm would go, and then the storm went there! What else could it be but Techno-Geo-mancy?!"After a certain time spent dancing around the burning cross, the grey matter tend to denaturate.
On a related note, does it seem like the American media is really eager to move on from covering Milton's effects? One of the biggest natural disasters in American history, millions affected, and all they show are occasional slideshows of not-that-badly-hit areas.
I will never say critical support for desantis, you can't make me
If I shoot the messenger, the things in the messages will stop happening
The bourgeoisie like "uhh yeah it's the weather channel's fault, so kill them, peace out" while they flee to their bunker.
i mean, chuds and their vaunted "project 2025" want NOAA and the weather service gone and replaced with Accuweather (weather data spun through "AI" for a subscription fee!)
so seems like it greatly assists them to create a "populist" groundswell of hate towards those organizations. FEMA, however, has been hated since the early 2000s
i've already made my feelings about the weather service known before. one of the few good things the U.S. government does so fuck this shit and fuck liberals for letting conditions and propaganda get to this point
once the next round of austerity comes i guarantee the libs will happily put NOAA and the weather service on the chopping block themselves
Don't all the commercial weather sites get their data from government ones like NOAA?
Most chuds don't realize that all of your private sector weather forecasting is just people repackaging data from the National Weather Service.
yup
yeah. they want the data gated off from the public completely, while also simultaneously claiming their own models and data are superior.
Does anyone know if there’s a particular hate to NOAA, or is it simply hated because there’s not enough consoom product for the average American’s taste?
i'm curious myself. i'd imagine the per-conspiratorial hate just comes from their climate research
Stop the breathing of those that made [hurricanes] and their affiliates.
I mean, yes...
Medieval peasant brained society.
If the hurricanes and the government's poor response to them cause Harris to lose, how long will it take for liberals to accuse Russia of manipulating the weather to interfere in American elections?
They'll just say Russia spread the conspiracy theories.
The future present is a mash of Idiocracy and Demolition Man.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Arm the meteorologists.
The amount of blood needed to redeem the sins of that land is quickly approaching
levelI've never looked at a weather forecast in my life. It's a crutch that makes you less wily. I mever trusted those guys.
If meteorologists can't control the weather, then how did they film X-Men? Checkmate liberals.
Articles like these ultimately make things worse since they never mention where disinformation comes from (corporate media), nor do they explain that people have no trust in the government because it seemingly exists only to send money to Ukraine and Israel. It’s not really surprising that they happily address the nazi conspiracy theories that meteorologists control the weather or that the federal government instantly puts all immigrants in mansions where they are waited upon 24/7 by countless beautiful harem sex slaves, but these articles never mention the endless money dumped on imperialism while peanuts are left to deal with worsening “natural” capitalism-caused disasters.
Still a pretty interesting and bizarre story though. QAnon never went anywhere, it just stopped calling itself QAnon.
Twitter has also become 4chan.
Similarly, Qanon didn’t start with Qanon.
