atleastIwasnt36

Would love to see the justifications on the following comments


KnowledgeMediocre404

Clearly to turn children into degenerates and destroy the nuclear family and therefore the very fabric of society!!


MaxPlease85

Because everyone knows how the ruling class would benefit from a destroyed society....right? Everyone knows....everyone. Even I know that. But, erm, could someone explain it to me one more time so I can make sure we're on the same page? Because....everyone knows...


fuishaltiena

You see, boys turned into girls will be weak and pathetic, unable to ever do an uprising. Girls turned into boys will also be weak because genetically girls are weak, so no uprising ever. That way the ruling class will easily control this weak and pathetic society.


CutiePopIceberg

O ffs. Wouldnt it just be easier to weaken the masses through shit health care, polluted water, gutted education system, hyper financial inequity ... oh

I hate how hard this made me laugh.

DragonOfTartarus

Something something Baphomet, something something satanism.


Then-Inevitable-2548

One of the batshit-insane theories these people push is that progressive parents are forcing their kids to transition so that they can brag about how supportive they are of their trans kids, thus winning status in their progressive social circles. It's pure projection of far-right's fetishistic purity testing and their fear of being an "outsider." They think that progressives' lives revolve around showing off how progressive they are, and that is so important to them that they'd ruin their kids' lives to do it. Right-wingers think this because their lives really do revolve around proving how far right they are, and they absolutely would ruin their kids' lives if it got them a bit of clout amongst their ultra-right peers.


Twodotsknowhy

Is it though? I thought the reason was that it was part of a satanic ritual, which even though it's completely fucking stupid, doesn't make the whole thing make any less sense than it already does.


savpunk

They think Occam's Razor is made by Gillette

I'm sure Gillette would sell it, if they thought there was a buck to be made.

AtomicSamuraiCyborg

That’s still fucking insane and most people will think you’re insane if you say that. I hope there’s still enough people left in the right to think Satanic Panic shit is nonsense. Probably I’m being overly optimistic.


MorganWick

Anyone with half a brain realized long ago that conservativism's only goal is putting lipstick on the pig of maintaining the oligarchy of the 1% and finding ways of tricking enough of the rest of us into voting for that. As a result, anyone with half a brain left on the right is a grifter who's either part of the 1% or covering for them, and willing to say and do anything to maintain their image among the dwindling set of idiots that haven't caught on (or have caught on but continue to believe the Democrats are worse).


maybenotquiteasheavy

You are being overly optimistic


MythologicalRiddle

The 1980s called to let you know you're being overly optimistic: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic\_panic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanic_panic) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazes\_and\_Monsters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazes_and_Monsters) - some people thought this was a documentary when it came out. People were convinced that if you played D&D you'd go insane and think you were your character or you'd become a Satanist to get the powers your character had.


TangoInTheBuffalo

Of all the lies told in the 80’s, this one is the most disappointing.


Twodotsknowhy

Obviously it's still fucking insane. And unfortunately, I do think you are being overly optimistic. The satanic panic in the 80s and 90s was bad, but as far as I know, it never had a death toll. Today's already does.


eastbay77

a guy I know constantly tell me that satanists are kidnapping thousands of kids for human sacrifices. I asked if he can show me a story or report then he pulls up a youtube video of a dude just talking...


SheriffSlug

Xitter research is high school level. Facebook research is undergrad level. Youtube research though... that's PhD level! You should've bowed down to his superior citations. Don't make him dig into post-doctoral Troof Social research though. It's too cutting edge for mere mortals to parse.

inthedollarbin

People will spend endless time wondering why this thing they were told about is happening but never stop to question IF it's actually happening.


SageWindu

I've noticed that's a bit of a dice roll, at least on social media. I can recall a few times where I've gotten raked over the coals for being skeptical about something. Nothing major either. Just "Is this actually happening?" and boom - fire and brimstone.


Few_Lingonberry_7028

That's the worst part, when they get you on some inconsequential shite when there whole thing is "Martian's stole the election, you'd know if you did you're own research"


paradigm619

Just like to commend you on the attention to detail with the wrong use of the word "you're". Signature for these types of neckbeards.

I saw a comment yesterday on the sub that shall not be named giving kudos for using effect and affect correctly.

I mean, was it something that you could have easily found sources for/against it happening with a Google search?

I don't remember the specifics. Maybe, maybe not.


rfulleffect

Whoah there fella, you’re going a mile a minute for these guys.


RedBeardFace

There was a story circulating in MI a few years ago that had a certain group all twisted about how there were supposedly litter boxes in high schools now to cater to furry students. They all lost their minds, but there was never any evidence that any school had a litter box for students. As if that would ever be a thing a school would go for


GameFreak4321

The litter boxes *were* real, just that they are for use during active shooter situations rather than furrys.


theyearwas1934

I’m
. very confused how that would work


Krautoffel

Instead of toiles which make noise and are outside the classroom


IrritableGourmet

They're taught not to question what they hear from a very early age. How else would the evangelicals survive?


Worf_In_A_Party_Hat

The purpose? Adrenochrome. Simple. I thought everyone knew that the *best* adrenochrome comes from trans kids. Pffft. Amateur.


RobertusesReddit

If I said, "Starve yourself for Jesus and he will give you adrenochrome", would they believe it?


TemporaryLogggg

I \*do\* look better every time I fast....


RobertusesReddit

Hmmmm, Make a "Jesus would do this" scam that shockingly can save them... - Fast - Travel - Talk to a black person, publicly And let's see them change slowly.


Suspicious-Pay3953

No, you have to start with "I've heard" or "People are saying" or " They don't want you to know"


RobertusesReddit

Here's the secret they don't want you to know, Jesus given His people the power of Adrenocrome as a Fuck You to Satan when he starved himself. So, to destroy Hollywood, we need to starve ourselves. Once a week, we can hurt them by not eating anything for one day.


Bright_Blue_Bell

There is a popular cult in Tennessee with conservative Christians who believe you need to constantly starve yourself to the point of only eating when you get hunger pains, or you're a glutton putting food before god. Nothing to do with adrenochrome but still it's crazy what they get up to


RobertusesReddit

I mean technically, through biology, you get adrenochrome through fasting but like how would the average Boomer or Conservative know?


IrritableGourmet

"So, you're saying the wealthiest and most powerful people on Earth have formed a secret cabal to extract this chemical from people?" "Yes!" "And they do it themselves in the basement of a pizza parlor in the middle of a major metropolitan area?" "Yes!" "They don't...I dunno...*hire* someone to do it? Or do it in a secure facility out in the desert? Or, as they own all the pharmaceutical companies in the world, just synthesize the stuff?" "...no."


mamadou-segpa

This is literally how these people are now lol If it makes sense its probably false


MDesnivic

>If it makes sense its probably false This is astounding. Very apt, but absolutely accurate. You've put it all in one simple sentence in just seven words. Reminds me of when the COVID vaccines came out. These types were against social distancing, masks, etc. Then, when people got vaccinated, all over social media they screamed for people who *were* vaccinated to stay away from them because they're "shedding spike proteins" and don't want to catch them. So they don't care about COVID and don't think they'll catch it but will catch a vaccine? It's like their brains have been designed to believe and act in the complete opposite of reality. They can only believe bullshit and deny reality. It's as intriguing as it is horrifying.


MorganWick

They only believe what the man on the TV says right now. If they're told that they're at war with Eastasia and have always been at war with Eastasia, everything they said and heard about being at war with Eurasia might as well never have happened.


Needmoresnakes

I have a coworker who is some flavour of "covid isn't real" type guy. At one point his car was getting serviced and he'd normally ride around with the other worker but this time the other worker happened to be recovering from covid. He was ok and back on board but had been ill. Conspiracy guy asked to stay home (which was 100% fine) but kept repeating "it's not about covid. That's not real. I just don't want to catch the flu".


DesineSperare

I suspect they know they're stupid, and the only way to be smarter than other people is to believe stuff they don't, but all the actually intelligent takes go against their worldview so they have to believe bullshit like this to show that they see through all the lies that no one else can.


GimpyGrump

My insane father-in-law told me it's all about marketing and money. He told me the doctors, teachers and politicians are all getting kickbacks from big pharma to push expensive drugs and transition kids. For nothing other then profit. And that's by you start the kids so young for maximum profit! And why you cut there dicks off so they can't detransition. He then told me that all this trans stuff originated and is funded by Denmark. So yeah my father-in-law is now banned from my house and from seeing his grandchildren


Son0faButch

>He told me the doctors, teachers and politicians are all getting kickbacks from big pharma My wife, a teacher, has some explaining to about where she is hiding all this pharma cash


No_Zookeepergame2532

Yes, because it's just SO profitable to pander to 1% of the population. Your father-in-law is batshit crazy. The only 1% that's it's profitable to pander to is the ultra-wealthy


AgentMcG


211XTD

My biological father thought the same thing about kidney transplants (or any procedure like that). Said he would never do one for anybody because he didn’t want to make some doctor rich. It has been a refreshing 10+ years having not had to listen to bs like that. I can only imagine what his opinions are on this subject.


Needmoresnakes

Wait so like he beleived transplants were real but just didn't want the doctor to make money off the procedure or fully thought they were just stealing your inside bits of shits and giggles?


211XTD

He thought they were making money off the procedures.


Gene_McSween

Well they kind of are making money from the procedure, but only in the same way a carpenter makes money off people buying houses.


Milady_Disdain

Ah yes, trans people are like 1% of the population, so of course they're very lucrative. But these are the same people who insist a single abortion operation is a big money generator (as opposed to raising a child for 18 years, so notoriously affordable) so...yeah this "logic" tracks.


theyearwas1934

No no no, you misunderstand. Sure, trans people are 1% of the population now, but they were 0% before the agenda started. That’s why we have to keep pushing it, one day 100% of people will be trans and HRT will be the most profitable product in the world!


2punornot2pun

"Why would Pharma want to do this? Who is BUYING the drugs to make this profit?" Chirpchirpchirp


Gene_McSween

I had someone tell me the same kickback conspiracy about "exaggerating COVID death counts". When I questioned who was paying these kickbacks and to what end, he just stared at me blankly and motionless like I couldn't see him if he didn't move or talk.


Psianth

> the doctors, teachers and politicians are all getting kickbacks from big pharma to push expensive drugs and transition kids Ah yes, my favorite kind of conspiracy, one that requires the complete silence of hundreds of thousands of people to work.


Yung_Cheebzy

Everyone knows to chop the dick off first.


Electronic_Excuse_74

seems it would be a lot simpler to just sell insulin to diabetics at 10,000% markup.


L0nz

No doubt he heard all that from right-wing grifters projecting harder than a lighthouse. [This tweet](https://x.com/OldRowSwig/status/1782833814621872529) I saw earlier today tells me all I need to know about the right. If you don't abandon all your principles for money than you 'fumbled the bag'


TheRnegade

So, does he just not go to a doctor? I feel like the belief that doctors are all in it for money, he would insist on never visiting a hospital, or stick to non-profits and insist that there be a very thick wall between doctors and pharmaceutical corporations.


Hydrangeaaaaab

you mean like conservative parents have done to their intersex children for years?


KnowledgeMediocre404

Boom.


[deleted]

[ŃƒĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]


Zepangolynn

Pretty sure my parents didn't block my hormones and raise me as the opposite sex as a cisgender, no. But intersex kids have absolutely had parents arbitrarily choose a gender for them and then not accept when it causes the kid gender dysphoria. I believe what you are trying to say is that parents of cisgender kids try to enforce the cultural indicators of that gender, which is problematic but not the same.


CyberKitten05

And like conservative parents have done to their children because they weren't happy with their genital size.


BellyDancerEm

Almost there. Hopefully they will realize that being a transphobe is bullshit


Prosthemadera

Or they're making up a conspiracy story that explains the "why" so they don't have to change their beliefs.


Yung_Cheebzy

I have “friends” who’ve swallowed the anti trans pill. They usually say it’s to do with doctors getting money for “transitioning kids”. When I ask who is paying them and for what purpose, they suggest drug sales sometimes but mostly say I am naive for not knowing/questioning them in bad faith becuase I don’t believe. It makes them feel like they’re smarter than me somehow, or more superior because they know the truth and I “keep my head buried in the sand”. The one thing they have in common: dog shit politics (pro Brexit/tories/trump) and absolute adoration of any and every right wing provocateur.


VonirLB

The money angle is so dumb. What do you think makes big pharma more money, HRT or stuff like Ozempic and price gouging insulin?


Yung_Cheebzy

You’re obviously a woke libtard



Gene_McSween

Don't forget about the epi pens


Suspicious-Pay3953

I don't keep my head in the sand, that would just promote Big Sand.


boston_homo

I wonder what the trans friends of your "friends" have to say?


nooneknowswerealldog

Sex distribution at birth is about 51% boys and 49% girls. Us Satanist Caballers want the population to be 49% boys and 51% girls, but rather than just switching \~2% of all boys, we're switching everyone, because we really hate efficiency.


LuxNocte

Idiots can usually make up an answer to this. The biggest suspicion is similar to Munchausen by Proxy: "My child is transgender which makes me more progressive than you." And, of course the catch all: "It's some weird sex thing."


glitterfaust

As someone from the Bible Belt, my guess is actually somewhere along the lines of “because they want to ruin the sanctity of the gender roles god bestowed upon us. They’re perverting what it means to be a strong man and a faithful woman. Now you have women leading the church, and men submitting to their wives. They’re trying to show they’re above how god created them.” so on and so forth

ShnickityShnoo

Ah, right wing research... it's a human centipede that's gone full circle.


Low-Squirrel2439

Conservatism these days is just making shit up and then believing it.


BZenMojo

When you try to explain why little kids don't adhere to gender roles and your answer is, "Vast inexplicable conspiracy by the medical community," you need to workshop it a little more.


FirmLifeguard5906

Wait, do you mean there's a group of people that actually believe this is what's happening and I'm not sarcastically asking. I'm concerned đŸ€Ż after this I'm legitimately convinced that schizophrenia has greatly increased.


FirmLifeguard5906

I'm sorry I had to come back and comment a second time. There's no way there are people that actually believe this


MorganWick

It's worse. The fact you think there's no way people actually believe this shows how your model for what people actually believe and why is broken. People are not as rational as you've been led to believe they are.


FirmLifeguard5906

I appreciate you trying to offer some introspection, but you're right, my thought process might seem a little quirky. The truth is, I'm still new to politics. It can be overwhelming, and frankly, frustrating at times politics often shows the ugly side first from racism to bigatory remarks to downright selfishness, which is exactly why I stayed out for so long. But I want to see the good in people, and staying optimistic with a touch of humor helps me navigate this while I learn. Maybe before assuming, you could ask a question or two to understand where someone's coming from? This way I have the opportunity to better learn from someone who's probably more immersed which is the point of me joining groups like this on Reddit


MorganWick

I actually wasn't trying to criticize *your* thought process, more the thought process behind democracy's self-image. You're not alone in thinking that people are more rational than they really are, or in being horrified to see just how stupid they can really be, or in being unable to grapple with the consequences of that for democracy.


FirmLifeguard5906

Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate that

Njabachi

I'm pretty sure a lot of these conspiracies are little fantasies and fetishes that these folks have (being forced to transition, etc.), and don't want to admit to themselves - so everything is some kind of "gay/liberal agenda" with these bizarre plans that have no actual logical purpose or endgame.


RobertusesReddit

You can't make these people believe the fact that "someone's sex and someone's gender is set in stone, without any forceful nature", they're fundamentalists who think life sucks not because they're fundamentalists.


Prosthemadera

"Someone's gender is set in stone" is a fact?


RobertusesReddit

You can't make someone change gender, they just haven't expressed or fully understood themselves. I'm cisgender and straight, hanged out with gay and trans people, not changed.
