#the scrappy True Narrative is always almost exactly the same shit too

[ivan-fyodorovich-k]

As I now read that the state or federal government intentionally murdered dozens of people with a wildfire in Hawaii, I am once again wondering whether there is such a thing as a natural disaster or a genuine catastrophe in the minds of terminally online people who think everything was done by Them

And like

Every single time? Nothing bad has ever just happened? And it’s never incompetence or neglect? It’s always malice? It’s always because They planned it?

#the scrappy True Narrative is always almost exactly the same shit too #it’s like it’s written out of a script #if I didn’t know so many of them personally I’d almost think that the conspiracy narratives were damage control from the government #trying to hide the fact that they’re actually indifferent and incompetent because saying they planned it all at least projects power #and the point isn’t that the government is always perfectly transparent and nothing suspicious ever happens #because obviously the government lies constantly and the official narrative is going to be unreliable #and new details will emerge #and things will look different in retrospect #it’s just the confidence #the bitter and utterly trenchant and completely intensely and apoplectically self-assured confidence #that you always just immediately Know what Really Happened #and it’s always the same story
