If the government wanted to kill people, they'd kill those who refused to comply.
So the thing that would make more sense, is that the COVID vaccine was an antidote, and the government was going to release a toxic gas to kill everyone who didn't take it.
But nah, their argument is that the government is killing those who comply. Ya, because that makes sense.
That's one of the things that bugs me about conspiracy theories. So many of them don't even have a point.
How can so many be people be so wrapped up in conspiracism, but never once have the though, "Oh, wait, why would anyone do this? It'd be pointless."
That's what gets me about flat earthers. The "best" explanation I've seen is that it would show the Bible is true and the elites don't want us to believe in God, but... would it show the Bible is true? Why even start this century long lie in the first place? I don't think discovering the earth is round is what pushed people into secularism in the first place, and revealing now it was wrong wouldn't get people into religion?
It's because people aren't wired that way. There's a name for that phenomenon, but I forgot.
The idea behind it is that people make up "reasons" (conspiracy strategies) that fit the event. A big event needs a big reason, they can't just accept that some things happen due to accidents or just by chance.
That's why Covid can't have been natural, it must have escaped from a lab! The government is giving us free vaccines? It can't be that they just want to get us back to work, there must be a secret plot behind that!
Someone straight up told me its because the elites only want those they can respect to survive.
It's a wierd form of hating them but desperately wanting their approval. I think they all just have daddy issues that aren't the kinky fun kind.
This is my same argument for gun ownership as well. While I'm not against people owning guns, to think that us civilians would survive any decent length of time of the government finally came down on us is laughable.
'That's because the COVID "vaccine" is full of nano-particles that the government can use to control you.'
See, you didn't take the crazy-thinking far enough.
