Dear Conspiracy Theorists...

...I agree wholeheartedly that the government and big business are up to no good and are essentially using the virus as a biological weapon. We have a lot in common, and I genuinely hope you don't take this post too harshly. I don't mean to be insulting, but you have the facts entirely wrong.

All this stuff about the virus being a big load- It's not true. The virus is very, very real.

I've read the fake documents pushed by Qanon types, and the reason they are so obviously bullshit is that they all seem to adhere to the same supervillain logic. 

Fact check: High level criminals, governmental or corporate, do not refer ominously to "The Plan" and do not gloat openly about the virus being profitable with arch quotation marks like a fucking supervillain. Nor do they refer to "The unquestioning nature of the masses" and ominous "plans" for "Global Finance and Mass Inflation" or whatever.

In fact, high level criminals are boringly banal. They hide most of their crimes in plain sight behind a wall of boring text so laden with jargon and euphemism that it's almost impossible to decrypt what the hell they're going on about. They talk about "derogation from the customary workings of market‐​based capitalism", "Trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights" and "Certain Provisions of the TRIPS Agreement", not "mwwaaaahahahahaaaa then we'll kill everyone and the world will be MINE!"

Also most of the actual documents that reveal their Eichmann-esque thought processes are publicly available. And they're horrific enough. They don't need a leet haxxor to reveal the "troof", people don't bother reading that stuff because it's so boring! Example:

Why, one might almost think that conspiracy theories such as the one about Bill Gates putting microchips in the vaccine were chaff to cover the real scandal: Uncle Bill is personally preventing vaccines getting to people in poor countries so that pharamceutical companies can make even MORE money.

I don't want to be insulting, but there's no nice way to say this: Stop watching capeshit movies and get off Facebook, they're rotting your brain. And if you want a conspiracy, a real one, take a look at this shit:

Now that's a real horror, that's happening in the real world: Millions of people in developing countries - most of the worlds' population, in fact- are being held hostage so that pharma companies can make even more money. The system has begun to feed on death - and if you're an anti-vaxxer, or one of the countless conspiracy buffs making it all about you, you're not resisting - you're an integral part of it.

 Have some empathy for others and use a little logic. What do you think has happened to all the people who have died? The death toll is in the millions now - What do you think they died of, if they didn't die of COVID? If they didn't die, where do you think they went? Hillary Clinton can only fit so many people in her sex dungeons.

Again, the truth is boringly banal, and all the more horrific for it: Our leaders don't give a shit about us or anyone else: all they care about is their belief that making money is more important than saving lives. If they can make more money by developing treatments for COVID than by distributing a vaccine, they'll do that. 

Have you ever wondered why the anti-vaxx movement is joined at the hip to the far Right? Vaccines are the most efficient form of medicine ever developed, and that's a problem for capitalists: They don't "cure" disease, they stop you getting sick in the first place! 

Better for Big Pharma that the disease spreads uncontrollably, then it can be cured using free market techniques like charging people an arm and a leg for medication - like they do in America, only far, far worse.

By trying to keep people from getting vaccinated you're helping the virus spread, and that helps the system because it makes it more likely the vaccine proof mutations will breed, and more "cures" will be needed- and pharama companies make so much more cash from those that it's unbelievable.

As it turns out, however, our fearless leaders can't get away with leaving us in the West unvaccinated (Trump tried it, and look what happened to him) - but they can certainly hold up distribution to poor countries. The fact that this is going to lead to millions more deaths and probably leave COVID endemic is incidental to them - the system of "intellectual property" is more important to them than people, and always will be.

Do you see how self-centred and naive you've been, conspiracy theorists? You've been doing your enemies' work for them all along. 

Conspiracy theories are just that - theories. They lack hard evidence and they make no sense. Ask yourself a question: Do you believe this stuff because it sounds good and feels right, or because it makes sense?

Thinking for yourself doesn't mean that you fall for a pack of lies because it makes you feel good - it means that you think before you believe some random made-up stuff off 4chan, every bit as much as you think before you absorb the prattlings of the "mainstream media".

By all means, think for yourself, don't take everything the media says on trust.  But for God's sake: Think. Because Social Media and internet posts are also media, and they gets exploited by people with even fewer scruples than mainstream media. 

Think about anonymously produced stuff: Anyone can make this content, for any reason. It doens't have to be true - nobody loses their job if an item turns out to be false, there's no scandal, nobody has a reputation to uphold or a career to watch out for - it's a complete free for all.A lot of it is just assholes talking shit for the fun of it. Other stuff is guys farming for clicks. And there's no reason to believe a word of it.
