    Yeah, especially the COVID conspiracies are mostly brain dead stuff

    The whole world pretty much stopped, which helps absolutely no one, but somehow those guys think, that a dark force is trying to kill the economy for…profit?

    Also all the scientists and doctors are together in bed and just want people to stay indoors, because… I have absolutely know clue

    It just didn’t make sense from the start.

    Although I do get scepticism against new vaccine methods, but when someone tries to “explain” to me, that mRNA somehow overwrites my DNA and I should drink bleach instead…I usually don’t even know where to start to correct them

      I mean, if the dark forces were billionaires and you look at their wealth growth explosion since the pandemic…someone could be forgiven for thinking there was a conspiracy there. Means and motive, alongside a sociopathic disregard for the common person…

      You should advise them to drink bleach and prove its efficacy. For science.

      especially the COVID conspiracies

      • Lab leak initially labelled as a conspiracy theory.

      • Darpa proposal to perform GoF research on coronaviruses.

      • Airborne transmission actually true.

      • Vaccine doesn’t stop transmission

      • Natural Immunity providing superior protection (no science supporting vaccine mandates for recovered patients).

      • Event 201 plan followed to the letter.

      • Government sponsored censoring of social media

      • Vaccine nanoparticles

        The only one you sourced doesn’t say anything about what you claim. I’m not denying that there are some questions here that need answering but most of this is just bullshit.

      I agree but a lot of mom and pop shops shut down and of course walmart and all the big names were still operating the whole time. At least here in Canada

        We didn’t need COVID for that

        Give it a few years and those shops would be dead anyway - sadly

        Small towns here tend to build large shopping centers near town border, which just hungers out local businesses

        No need for COVID to accomplish that

        Edit: and it’s not just about America, but about the whole world.
        Wanna tell me, that Walmart planned a coup, just for US centric sellings and the also the rest of the world stood still?

          Yeah man I know it just sucks to have it happen that fast. My neighbor owned and operated the local bike shop in our town for almost 30 years. You’re right it was gonna close anyway but covid made it happen way quicker and the town is worse off in the end. The bike shop was a HUGE part of this town and now it’s gone. It just is what it is.
