"Again, Iām glad people are learning about this"
I think this is a bigger factor than many people realize. Lots of people, even Anons, just don't know things like railways transporting hazardous and toxic waste around the country.
So when something like this (The OH train wreck) happens, it freaks them out. And then they start doing research and find another train wreck! And another! And another!
So they think that, because this information is new to them, the scenario itself is new. And that's where the "The DS is trying to kill us all with toxic waste train wrecks but now we're on to them!" mindset comes into play.
Nevermind 100+ years of documented history on railroads transporting hazardous materials and train wrecks carrying hazardous material wrecking and causing big problems. Because that doesn't fit the current narrative, you see.
But if you point that out, and try to be objective and logical, then you get called a shill. š¤·āāļø
Just goes to show that anons get just as complacent as normies. Anons fall into the same thought patterns as radical lefties (purity tests), as well. Really, we should hold ourselves to a higher standard, always.
That's it exactly. I'll be the first to admit I have an elevated opinion of myself. So I hold myself to a higher standard than I do others.
I also hold those I associate with and with whom I share opinions and beliefs with to a higher standard than others.
So I bust balls when people post obvious BS stories, and who don't do basic fact checking before posting things, and who are flat out hypocrites with glaring double standards, and whose arguments wouldn't pass the logic standards of an 8 year old.
Because they should be better.
But boy howdy does it piss them off when I don't just automatically jump onto every band wagon that goes by. No matter who the conductor is, if their tires are flat, or if they're about to go over a cliff.
Not sure if that metaphor makes any sense, but I already typed it all out, so I stand by it.
