When the MSM is completely corrupt, and there are large social media entities distorting the free flow of information, and people have been quarantied and scared and lied to, you're gonna have conspiracy theories happening. People are anxious to find out what's really happening.
I agree. It’s sad, but I can see how that’s possible.
Bret Weinstein made the same observation the other day on a podcast.
All of a sudden, open dialog is forbidden. It’s beyond the pale to consider the lab leak hypothesis, repurposed therapeutics, an election obviously stolen in broad daylight, a summer of burning and looting that was mostly peaceful, but 500 patriots enter the capitol and it’s an insurrection...
So there’s a lot of bad stuff going on, and the official stories keep being obvious fabrications, and people are going to start looking for answers. The thing is, you can’t tell apriori which heterodox idea is just crazy, and which will turn out to offer clues to the truth.
So, in this case, there’s the insane notion that somehow people should have been allowed to go back in to an unstable structure to look for pets and “property”. That’s ridiculous, and deserves the long FR tradition of calling it what it is. That’s valuable when the heterodox idea turns out to have some reasonable chance of being true, eg the lab leak hypothesis.
