My new approach to waking people up when they say stuff like "OMG the world is so crazy right now what is going on?"
I just say, "If I told you you wouldn't believe me. But feel free to call me when the shit hits the fan, and I will tell you what's going on."
It's all we can do at this point. On a lighter note, two people in the last two days who were pro vax to the max have said they regret taking it, and/or "well I haven't died yet." Based on what I know about these folks the message is reaching normie circuits like Reddit and the like.
I just let them tell me why they think the world is so crazy right now. Telling them for 10+ years did nothing but get me a conspiracy theorist label, so I am just watching them wake up. Which is extremely satisfying to hear them tell me what i told them 4 or more years ago...they don't remember anything I said. Like Q said, some people have to be shown...
If you tell conspiracy deniers about the conspiracy to envelop the world in global authoritarian communism, they'll simply deny the conspiracy exists and call you a conspiracy theorist.
If you tell them conspiracy is not a theory but the name of an actual serious felony, most will not believe you, but some might look that up and realize the truth of it.
EDIT: Conspiracy can actually be charged as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Either way, it's a CRIME, not a theory.
Which felony? Racketeering? Rape?
Conspiracy itself. (Although it can be either a felony or a misdemeanor, so I partially misspoke earlier.)
