We have an issue with chemtrails as a subject area.
It's a very complex topic and within it are pitfalls where we as anons can be manipulated into believing and arguing positions which can be used against us as a movement. In other words, we think it is a trap that has been laid for us just like all the snake venom over simplifications of the vaxx were a trap. Once we make pronouncements in this area, our credibility can be wrecked.
We set ourselves up for a clean takedown of our reputation as anons by the MSM by generalising on this subject.
Think of it as a more sophisticated version of the flat earth psyop.
For this reason, we usually take the strategic position of not allowing discussion on it.
We tried to make the Tucker / Danica post an exception, but we learned our lesson once again.
That policy does make a lot of sense, too. I’m a flat earth agnostic, but love pushing peoples buttons on it because epistemology is really neat, and a lot of people think they “know” a lot more than they actually know.
For a while, I’d push people on how they know the Earth isn’t flat, thinking it a very inert topic, as it doesn’t affect a single one of us in any single way in our daily lives. It became very apparent very quickly that this is absolutely not the case. People will get as defensive, and sometimes moreso on flat earth than even on abortion. Credibility gets destroyed real quick with it. People get extremely irate with it real quick.
It’s a very interesting thing, considering how irrelevant it pragmatically is, but if it’s something that we should engage with, it’s far, far deeper down the rabbit hole. Gonna be fun if/when we get there, though.
It’s a wise decision to not discuss it right now. I don’t get the chemtrails the same way, as I’ve heard people on all sides of the aisle noticing this one, but I try to be humble enough to admit that maybe I’ve got a blind spot, here.
Will you be prebunking any chemtrail stories today?

This is 5G information warfare.
I have issues with chemtrails turning the sky white most days. Wish I could move to Tennessee or New Hampshire where they have been banned.
Fren, we have to be strategic, the area remains a trap for us.
Our policy is for that reason.
There are other sites to talk about chemtrails.

And that was four paragraphs to say, “good call!”
