What A Load of Old Bollocks
one thing I have picked up on recently from the facebook groups (100s of K of members each) is how they are all starting to get paranoid about the census. Lots of pictures of census envelopes with "I am a freeman, I do not stand under you" scribbled on it. Which suggests to me that this will keep running - that it's a moving feast created by social media and grifters (and now many twats in the telegraph). With a set national press (rewind twenty years ago) conspiracies would probably fill in some gaps, rise and then fall away into nothingness again. But with the huge vested interests (mortgages can be paid with a few 100k views a week on youtube) at play and "online ecosystems" of deranged beliefs, then expect more of the same.

why was it not like this ten years ago - the internet was around then, too? The rise of the smart phone and addictive, alert based technology that monitises attention is one theory. Combine such technology wiht the grifters having to create more and more emotive content to get the views (and every day people addicted to the "likes"), then it becomes clearer in my view.

It was like this ten years ago and much longer. When do you think anti-vax started?

I've known people with some nutty views in the past, including anti vax, but these were side issues to their broader political beliefs. The difference now it has morphed into an all encompassing worldview for many people, where the world is run by satanic paedophiles and everything is a plan to enslave us.

A lot of this shit, such as anti-vaxxers, freeman of land, etc. etc., has been bubbling away for decades, clearly the internet has allowed it to spread easier, but more specific, the pandemic and the resulting restrictions has added petrol to the fire, becoming a rallying call, which has allowed the loons to suck in so many people, who are searching for reasons behind it all and 'someone' to blame, instead of accepting the world is somewhat random, and shit happens.

You only have to look at who's supporting the campaign to know it's a complete crock of shit - Piers Corbyn, Gillian "not a doctor" Mckeith, etc...
Did you never encounter 9/11 truthers? Exactly the same.

Also the facebook algorithm piling it on to people. I looked at one of the nutter vids linked to on this or another thread. After that, facebook kept sending me friend suggestions for anti mask/vaxx idiots. No, I don't want to be their friend or interact with them at all.

It does seem to be a fairly fundamental flaw in Facebook's algorithms that it seems to assume that, if you have a mutual connection with someone, or share some common interests, you might automatically want to friend them. I'm forever blocking clients and the like that Facebook has decided might like to be my friend

heckling from the back!
Elsewhere on t'internet, I've found some of these covid deniers are trying to link fascism with requirements to wear masks, be vaccinated.
It seems to be a common thing with these conspiraloons, to attempt these linkages, as if it somehow proves their point.
I don't usually have time to do much in response, but when they post 5h1t on my stuff I'll delete it & then comment as to why the stuff has vanished. And then post some more pro-mask or vaccine comments ...

(I actually came on this thread to post Bishie's link above but got beaten to it).
From that thread, Lawrence Fox and James Delingpole out and about, apparently:

The Left has its own little moonbat beliefs the Soldiers dressed as cops in the miner's strike being the most obvious one.
Closest we got was assorted Cooks and others running the Drill halls where the MET were based.
Argentina has multiple theories explaining how they sank British Carriers and the Royal Navy covered it up

are there movements and massive social media groups based around the soldiers dressed as cops one?
