Boomers: Don't believe everything you read online, kiddo

Also Boomers: Hot conservative lady said Satan is going to ascended from the earth and eat a baby live on air tonight at 6 PM!

yea I'm double posting this in the thread, but look at how well this lines up:

• Being told that the Bad Thing they were purportedly upset about wasn’t real only made them more upset. Proof that the 23rd largest corporation in America was not in league with the Devil made them defensive and very, very angry.

"It's very telling that people believe things I say."

They’re also doing it to each other instead their enemies lol

Come out ye black and trans
Come out abort me lovely nan
On stage at the DNC with Bernie Saaaaanders!

recommend reading the whole thing, but here's a good pull quote (emphasis mine)

In trying to combat the P&G slander with nothing more than irrefutable facts proving it false, I was operating under a set of false assumptions. Among these:

• I assumed that the people who claimed to believe that Procter & Gamble supported the Church of Satan really did believe such a thing.
• I assumed that they were passing on this rumor in good faith— that they were misinforming others only because they had, themselves, been misinformed.
• I assumed that they would respect, or care about, or at least be willing to consider, the actual facts of the matter.
• Because the people spreading this rumor claimed to be horrified/angry about its allegations, I assumed that they would be happy/relieved to learn that these allegations were, indisputably, not true.

All of those assumptions proved to be false. All of them. This was at first bewildering, then disappointing, and then, the more I thought about it, appalling— so appalling that I was reluctant to accept that it could really be the case.

But it is the case. Let’s go through that list again. The following are all true of the people spreading the Procter & Gamble rumor:

• They didn’t really believe it themselves.
• They were passing it along with the intent of misinforming others. Deliberately.
• They did not respect, or care about, the actual facts of the matter, except to the extent that they viewed such facts with hostility.
• Being told that the Bad Thing they were purportedly upset about wasn’t real only made them more upset. Proof that the 23rd largest corporation in America was not in league with the Devil made them defensive and very, very angry.

there are people who believe this?

Not really no. They know it's bullshit but it's bullshit that's good for the cause so they do a collective kayfabe for each other to keep the bit going.

Yeah I thought this was an obvious bit, but all parties seem sincere in their belief

Imagine owning yourself like this, especially if you don't actually buy it

"I want to see these dancing whales"

Same

Do you know of a book on this

If it's not exactly like the baby Jesus scene from the movie Mother!, then I don't want it.

I want them to put the fetus into a t-shirt cannon and fire that thing out into the crowd.

Cottagecore home backyard projector set up but instead of old movies it's the summer Olympics live abortion show featuring Satan and Beyonce.

Yep, not helping them beat that rap at all.

Yeah they need the aesthetic to feel like a welcomed, known quantity before they take it on, that's why you see MAGA rappers rapping like outdated early 2000s lyrical miracle rappers, or some people calling themselves "goth right." The daring to unleash something unprecedented that they speculate will resonate en masse due to having base level empathy and sense-of-vibes is not there for the reactionary brain.

The problem with the anti-SJW grift was always that there were like 5 videos of 3 different activists that kept going through re-runs, at the end of the line there wasn't enough fuel for the fire of outrage that it fed upon.
