Personally I think it has got worse since the pandemic as the main stream muttonheads appear to be grazing in ever odder circles, with algos and grifters feeding them more and more guff.
Anyone got a mate or two who are well into the 15-minute cities, pro Putin, 'WEF', cor blimey guv use cash not cards as 'they' track you types?
...perhaps more interestingly, how have you gone about de-radicalising them from the s
t they consume online?

The problem with us all is that we think our own pecadilloes are just fine, it's everyone else (usually those who we disagree with) who are the whack jobs.
It's always been thus. We've just become better about propogating it more quickly and widely.

Er…no. In fact the only time I ever hear any of this stuff, from anyone, is in threads on here.Personally I think it has got worse since the pandemic as the main stream muttonheads appear to be grazing in ever odder circles, with algos and grifters feeding them more and more guff.

I know someone who urged me to take down all the 5G masts I could get my hands on. I no longer know this person. Nowhere else, at all, in my life are these things even remotely discussed or mentioned.
I could understand people being seduced by stuff that, y'know, makes sense.
I don't get how the insulting bilge that are currently the most popular populist poisons can be taken seriously by anyone who isn't pissed out of their head. A toddler wouldn't be convinced by it.

Interesting - and reflects badly on PH.Nowhere else, at all, in my life are these things even remotely discussed or mentioned.

My life is quite abnormal as with one hat on I am exposed to a perhaps wider range of views / cross section of society than most. I am not saying that is a good thing
…but it is interesting, in a way.Dark Facebook/Whatsapp groups etc are directly and softly radicalising people in odd ways. It appears it is becoming more recognised.

Me too, but that might be because 70% of my time online is probably spent on PH. I think if I spent as much time on Twitter or any other SM sites I’d find similar pockets of wibble.Nowhere else, at all, in my life are these things even remotely discussed or mentioned.

Although… not many of them actually have a real-world social circle to rant and rave to.

It has indeed become far more of an issue since the start of the pandemic?. I wonder why?. Could it be that the lockdown of our economy and society for months on end on a flimsy pretext, followed later on by trying to force people to take a new vaccine with dangerous side effects for many, has led to greater scepticism of our governing class?Personally I think it has got worse since the pandemic as the main stream muttonheads appear to be grazing in ever odder circles, with algos and grifters feeding them more and more guff.

...perhaps more interestingly, how have you gone about de-radicalising them from the s
t they consume online? Action leading to reaction and if those in charge want to defuse the situation perhaps a bit less ranting about "conspiracy theorists" and a bit more rebuilding their credibility might be in order. As a starting point they might want to reflect on the fact that restrictions on personal movement (15 minute cities) and central bank controlled digital currencies are not going to be very popular right now, if ever.
I think I am that guy. I love a good conspiracy rabbit hole. The pandemic was a load of complete rubbish and the notion that we're run by a cabal of satan worshipping child molesters explains so much so well that I'd be surprised if it were not true.
I do try to maintain hope that democracy and liberty will win through, or that the inherently confrontational relationships between politicians and media and can hold them to some sort of account, but it is very difficult
