A purity spiral trend on the right has been emerging for a while now but it has only gotten worse in recent years. Disbelief in the whackiest conspiracy is taken as a sign of disloyalty and anything other then the most retarded take makes you a shill. Examples include:
>you think jews are nepotistic and spiteful to their hosts?
>well I think jews are actually a cult of satanic baby eaters you deradicalization, shill!
>you think the pharmaceutical companies are greedy assholes who pray on the despairation of sick people?
>Well I think everything the pharmaceutical companies sell is poison and I'm taking wormwood extract to cure my cancer, you cuck!
>you think mega companies moved jobs overseas because the CEOs are amoral pieces of shit who care more about money than the future of their country?
>Well I think its all part of a plan to weaken the West and install communism, FED!
>you are worried about 5G because you think it will greatly enhance digital surveillance?
>well I think 5G will cause cancer and mass death, fag!
>you think the covid vaccine was bad because lockdowns were used as an excuse to attack political enemies and side effects were ultimately worse than the disease?
>well I think its all a part of the NWO depopulation agenda, pharmakike!
>you are worried about AI because of job loss, propaganda bots, and surveillance concerns?
>well I think AI is actually a demonic force in computer form, fag!
>you hate Hollywood movies because they are controlled by a few studios who push stale liberal trash?
>well I think Hollywood is putting secret symbols and predictive programming in their films to control the population, tranny!
Ect
It isn't enough to distrust the failing institutions, you need to believe they are part of a satanic plot as well. This has only gotten worse over time and I suspect it will only continue get worse over time. Is there any way this can be stopped before it collapses under the weight of its own bullshit into a flat earth singularity?
And I know many of you will claim that some of the crazier claims are pushed by bad actors, and you are probably right to some extent, but silly shit like germ theory denial and flat earth are becoming more common especially on the right. Is there a way to stop this?

When anti-vaxx shit had proven time and time again to be a method of psychological-to-biological warfare to the point where it is a maundane thing to know people that've been killed by it. Saying you don't believe me is like saying you don't believe someone from Alberquerque knows people that have died in drive-bys.

and yes I am aware oranges are sweeter than milk, but it's sweet in a plant way, not a meat way. Milk is sweeter than the image of what milk should taste like in my head and it's unpleasant. Milk chocolate is nice tho.

No, he has a very good point about idiots purity-spiraling and well-poisoning, which has a detrimental effect on online forums.

So just because leftists have AIDS, it's okay for "us" to have HIV? Just because its worse for other people doesn't mean it's okay for it to spread.
>leftists
This is really a false dichotomy. Conspiracies aren't inherently right wing.
A lot of these issues aren't even 'left vs right' in the first place. For example, things like vaccine skepticism used to be more of a thing that leftists cared about (the RFK types, and the Karens who actually thought essential oils are essential), but it became more of a libertarian/right issue after COVID when lefty governments became increasingly totalitarian and decided they only believed in bodily autonomy in the context of abortion alone. The essential oils crowd always had tinfoil-tier drooling retards among them, and some of them migrated to the right after COVID, even though there's plenty of legitimate reasons for vaccine skepticism.

This letter is about a bill in Texas currently going back and forth between the House and Senate. One of the provisions of the House version would require packaged food manufacturers to add warning labels to food containing "artificial colors, food additives, or other ingredients banned by Canada, the European Union, or the United Kingdom." Here is the complete bill if you want to dig through it:
https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB25/id/3133136
If this were to pass, all it would mean is that packaged foods containing these ingredients would have to have a warning label affixed to the package. It's worth noting that companies are already required to list ingredients on packaging, and anyone who wants to know what is in their food can just look. The only thing this would affect is whether or not there is a giant, obnoxious warning label on the front of the package.
My guess is that food companies are lobbying against this because these kinds of laws are a pain in the ass to comply with, and in the grand scheme of things they don't really do anything for public health. California already has a ton of similar laws in place, which should already tell you something. What this law would basically mean is that if Frito Lay wants to sell Doritos in Texas, then they need to redesign all their packaging to include a big, silly label informing people that there is Red Dye #5 or whatever the fuck inside. Best case scenario, it just adds extra cost to the process of manufacturing and packaging Doritos, and odds are that cost just will be passed on to the consumer through a price increase. But yeah, I guess if you live in Texas and having giant stupid labels on food is really important to you for whatever the fuck reason, by all means call your representative and let them know you support HB-25.
>pic 2
I don't even need to google anything here. This warning label simply informs the reader that 5G towers emit radiation that can cause problems if you stand within 100 ft of the tower for too long. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of 5G I guess, but it's straightforward enough. However, you go on to say:
>The roll out of 5G radiation was simultaneous with the covid psyop and flu like symptoms, exactly the same than covid.
You seem to be implying that, because 5G towers can cause "flu-like symptoms" and the towers started going up around the time of the pandemic, that symptoms attributed to COVID-19 were actually caused by 5G radiation. That's a pretty huge leap. This is another issue I have with conspiratards: they seem to draw a lot of their conclusions by connecting dots that don't necessarily connect. At the very least, it seems like if the government actually went to all the trouble of inventing a fake disease to cover up symptoms caused by 5G radiation, then they wouldn't also put warning labels about those very symptoms on the 5G towers; that would sort of defeat the whole point. Unless, of course, the whole point was just to scatter enough breadcrumbs to convince some terminally online retard to waste his life looking into stuff like this.

This one is bizarre enough that I felt some serious digging was warranted. Here's what I found:
https://stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/6023
Here is the description:
>CDC has a fun new way of teaching the importance of emergency preparedness. Our new graphic novel, "Preparedness 101: Zombie Pandemic" demonstrates the importance of being prepared in an entertaining way that people of all ages will enjoy. Readers follow Todd, Julie, and their dog Max as a strange new disease begins spreading, turning ordinary people into zombies. Stick around to the end for a surprising twist that will drive home the importance of being prepared for any emergency. Included in the novel is a Preparedness Checklist so that readers can get their family, workplace, or school ready before disaster strikes.
So, in other words, this is a joke. The CDC is not providing serious instructions about preparing for a literal zombie apocalypse, the CDC published a comic book which uses a fictional story about a zombie pandemic as an instruction tool. In fact, if you look closely at your own screen shot, you will clearly see that the words "zombie graphic novel" appear directly under "Zombie Preparedness."
Also worth noting is that the listed publication date for this is 2011, when The Walking Dead would have been at the height of its popularity. Basically, this is the CDC piggybacking off of a pop culture phenomenon in order to teach disaster preparedness. That is all this is. Anyone who isn't a terminally online, gullible retard would be able to see this almost immediately.
In the 1930s, Orson Welles broadcast a radio play based on HG Wells's The War of the Worlds. It was obviously fiction, and presumably the producers thought that most people would realize this without being explicitly told, so they framed the story as a fake news broadcast. However, apparently some people heard the broadcast and thought it was actual news, so they packed up their belongings and fled into the hills to hide from the alien invaders. I remember reading about it in High School and wondering how on earth anyone could possibly be that fucking dumb. Now, having spent roughly a decade on the dumbest corners of the internet, listening to morons babble on and on about chemtrails and satanic child sacrifice cults... I no longer wonder.

>That's a pretty huge leap. This is another issue I have with conspiratards: they seem to draw a lot of their conclusions by connecting dots that don't necessarily connect.
Yeah, correlation does not imply causation. It's a classic halfwit blunder. That is all this is.
>Basically, this is the CDC piggybacking off of a pop culture phenomenon in order to teach disaster preparedness.
Yeah. It's obvious at face value.
>In the 1930s, Orson Welles broadcast a radio play based on HG Wells's The War of the Worlds. It was obviously fiction, and presumably the producers thought that most people would realize this without being explicitly told, so they framed the story as a fake news broadcast. However, apparently some people heard the broadcast and thought it was actual news, so they packed up their belongings and fled into the hills to hide from the alien invaders. I remember reading about it in High School and wondering how on earth anyone could possibly be that fucking dumb. Now, having spent roughly a decade on the dumbest corners of the internet, listening to morons babble on and on about chemtrails and satanic child sacrifice cults... I no longer wonder.
I remember that too. People will believe anything without even stopping to think about it.

Yeah. It's why diseases get weaker overtime, but more widespread. The subtler the disease, the more likely it is to spread to another.

Do you have a counterargument, or not?

I remember having this discussion on /pol/ about the Ebola outbreak a decade ago. Ebola is not normally threatening enough to cause mass outbreaks, but that particular strain of Ebola has mutated to be less deadly, which meant its hosts survived long enough to spread (also ebola can spread post-mortem, which meant traditional African funerals where all family members touched the bodies became superspreader events).

Nothing that isn't rhetorical and pertaining to your character, no I don't have a counter-argument

Do you actually have an issue with the contents, or are you just wasting our time?
The other guy posted a 2009 study. Read that.

The problem is that it's one potential explanation out of dozens, among which this one simply doesn't seem as plausible when taken in conjunction of how events transpired. Remember the 'Summer of Love' riots?
I don't have any authority on which to say that's not a possibility, I'm saying I don't buy it.

Which sources does the wikipedia article use that you have qualms with? Wikipedia is basically a manually indexed and summarised search engine, it isn't the source itself, but it is a credible source of sources.
