Went to a different room but couldnt avoid the guys crazy talk. Hes onboard with most every conspiracy theory that going around. Started off with the pandemic is a hoax because its only killed 700,000 and TB killed a lot more and the whole thing is being used for some nefarious reason that he couldnt seem to define. Then he went into how our government is infiltrated with nazis, Hitler had escaped to Argentina and something about every president being part of a satan worshiping cult. When the other guy said anything the nut-job referred him to YouTube. I only heard 5 or 10 minutes before I went in my bedroom and closed the door. I wonder who this dick weed is supporting this election? Oh my god the fuckwad just came in here to measure the bedroom. Fortunately he didnt say anything.

(65,466 posts)Some of it sounds like RWNJ stuff, but the Nazis in the government doesn't. The RWNJs are awfully close to pals with Nazis. So, they wouldn't likely care about them in government.
BTW: When TB was killing people they all those patients in sanitariums to prevent community spread.
They did that as a drastic measure because the % of population infected was out of hand. Wonder if he would support that. Probably not!
Also, where'd the 700,000 come from? That's wrong for COVID and ridiculously high for a modern tb number.
Per CDF, TB takes about 3,300 people per year, including people immunocompromised due to HIV.
So, 700,000 is 212 years of TB deaths by modern standards.
It's a very confusing rant.

It seems the opposite of what they were normally spin about.

(2,025 posts)Each weekend, its something new. Last Sunday, it was "My brother said he watched some foreign news program on PBS and nobody in any other countries are wearing masks. Its just us and China, and the Chinese always wear masks". Seriously. A few weeks ago she was on this kick about the daily numbers being "misleading" because the positive tests weren't all administered on that same day. I had to explain that it is NOT misleading to report daily numbers simply because all those people were not infected just on that day, and that's why we look at 7 day averages for a trend.
Yep, "they" know its all a conspiracy, they just can't figure out what the conspiracy is.
She's not stupid; but the Rush-clone on the local station says its a liberal hoax, so it must be.

(10,316 posts)I blame the internet. It is a great thing in so many ways. But whatever idea you have, no matter how bizarre, you can find someone on the internet with like ideas. I have a buddy that sends me YouTube videos. A lot of them have only been viewed a couple hundred times which is kind of a giveaway. Once you start down that road of alternate facts theres no end. And of course our current resident leads the way.
