Violent Event Denial

The long lasting legacy of Alex Jones - popularizing the word, that one word, that at this point raises the hackles of those with a decent grasp on reality.  It’s only four letters. But it’s kind of odd looking, so it jumps out at you, even with a cursory glance at the sentences and paragraphs it’s included in.  It’s the ‘x’ that’s in it, I’m pretty sure.  Just reaches out and grabs your attention since it’s not too common.

HOAX.

And since engagement is more important than actual substantive content, and repetition is an effective memory tool, the truthers love to repeat that word ad nauseum.

The classic multi person event is the Holocaust.  The classic single person event is the Kennedy assassination.  Either way, these are famous newsworthy events that the official narrative will be denied.

These are the kinds of things that allow a newbie truther to gain a sense of belonging.  Presentation of a new, even microscopic in significance, detail can gain them attention in their chosen cult of denial.  To sidetrack a bit off topic. Was Covid created as a bio weapon in a lab or a natural mutation?  Once it got out, spread and killed millions, shouldn’t some energy be focused on getting through the worst public health crisis instead of bickering about the origin?

Not to the truther.  It’s more important to whine and complain than actual solutions.  You’re edgy and cool now, and you didn’t even have to get a piercing or buy an exotic pet (I’m partial to red pandas).  You KNOW you’re edgy and cool.  Because some cult leader operating a sock puppet account on social media told you that you’re cool. You’re part of the team.

It starts of slow, liking photoshopped posts, then being encouraged to produce your own posts for continued pats on the back.  Eventually, hey, it’s all for the greater good. Go ahead and start creating your own bogus content. You’re edgy and cool.  Do what you want.

In the meantime, being part of the background noise, you’re interfering with others rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Average-ish people that don’t give a shit about tiny little details on the origin of the virus, they just don’t want to die from it.  And unlike the truther have empathy and don’t want others to die from it.

The Alex Jones method on death.  Instantly declare it a hoax.  Whether a mass shooting or single celebrity passing, produce a massive amount of fake content (this is what the dictionary calls “lying”.  Float it out there, and enough shit on the wall - some of it will stick.

The effectiveness of the method involves lag time.  A shooting is newsworthy.  A celebrity death makes the headlines.  The more legitimate news agencies want to put out something right away.  Until more details arise, there’s a period of time that the truthers, many of them knowing full well the content they put out is bullshit, slam social media to try and keep the bogus narrative alive as long as possible.

Social media’s approach has long been “stop, or I’ll say stop again” as opposed to actually caring about content removal.  Which frankly is the way it should be.  Thinking that the Sandy Hook shooting didn’t play out the way we were told is not illegal.  You have a right to say that you don’t believe it.  But somehow, it’s impossible for them to recognize that there are large numbers of accounts that you just know when death is involved they are instantly going to say it - HOAX.  

All the big names in the circa 2018 gematria era did it.  Riding the coattails of Jones method it was easy to build a following just by going with the flow.  The same way a person targeted by a toxic narcissist in the work place becomes narcissistic supply, well if I keep stroking their ego they will put in a good word for me and I get a raise.  Or, at least I won’t get fired for challenging them.

Hubbard doesn’t seem too keen on giving the rotating flock of loyalists monetary raises.  He’s much more interested in keeping that for himself.  Getting them to do his dirty work as free advertisement.  Then when he finally gets called out weeks or months later dedicating some effort to posting content about how they are just a troll and even suggest they should be unalived.  Which is very much borrowed from the Alex Jones method.  Doesn’t matter.  There will be more 15 year olds joining social media that don’t want a red panda for coolness.  There will be more mass shootings.  Just need to get them trained on the lingo for a couple of weeks.

Violent event denial lingo:

Hoax, crisis actor, agent, false flag, psy-op, ritual sacrifice and any text in quotes indicating sarcasm like “attack”.  If your little boys and girls are dropping these terms, they probably aren’t just denying a single shooting.  They’ve joined the Every Shooting is a Hoax Club.  And by wearing the beginners “I have a severe cognitive bias problem” badge they are targeted to join the rabbit hole of all the other bad ideas.
