Now I know what it was like when 9/11 misinformation was going strong. Sure the gematria cliques are doing their things with finding a number that appears a couple times that seems more likely than the any other number they could have picked. One or a couple videos get put out, all the others latch on to it. Then while struggling to find that magic number (128 for the Key bridge) they throw in their own personal numbers. Eventually there’s a lot of different numbers that mean…something…and then you get
The comments sections.
Where it’s a free for all on non gematria issues related to the disaster du jour. And any action as a community is lost and it’s just a clusterfuck of stupidity, out stupiding each other for a little attention. Not everyone I poke around these days is straight up gematria. Some are even old school doomsday preppers, anti-government gun nuts, Qanon influencers who dabble in gematria but don’t make it the main point and just a lot of people that you would expect love Alex Jones. And what a charismatic head figure gives is focus - at least a main topic to keep the masses aimed at.
The main bridge narrative is it’s 9/11 part II. Like anything that falls down in a heap of crumpled steel outside a Micheal Bay movie is an inside job by the government to cover up something. And there’s nothing more important to cover up than money issues, so these people are crying out for the government to stop inside jobbing their own country to take time out to give them free money.
I’ve literally seen accounts talk about their inability to sober up and hold a job complain about fictional conspiracies. I’ve already seen that the bridge was a controlled thermite demo like the Twin Towers so Joe Biden has an excuse for failed infrastructure policies. I’ve seen that the cargo ship’s owner was Mitch McConnell’s sister-in-law, because somebody read it needed an Attaboy!TM and they got their couple of likes. And probably a couple of people dropping by FB to repeat it.
We really haven’t changed much since 9/11 misinformation. The consistency, the utter lack of imagination to reuse the same controlled demolition story is befuddling and frustrating. We are doomed to repeat history on important economic topics that don’t address the root of the problem. There simply aren’t enough decent paying jobs to cover the number of people needing decent paying jobs. And complaining about it and making up ghost stories instead of recognizing the negative feedback loop they’re stuck in is way more important.
We should be able to prebunk a bridge collapse or similar disaster instantaneously. As soon as it happens, a statement is released and the warning there’s a lot of bullshit to follow. We can’t be that lucky though. Giving money away to scam fundraisers is what we get. That’s the biggest cog in the negative feedback loop machine that won’t go away. Constantly rebuilding off the damage caused by the near instantaneous spread of misinformation and disinformation that we are so desensitized to we just accept. But believe me, the message I’m seeing is pretty clear. People think they are paying for the bridge replacement with their tax dollars. They would prefer not paying taxes at all. They would prefer to believe the world is out to get them. And the only thing that gives them hope is a social media presence to wallow in the spending their entertainment budget on human misery and suffering.
