    I work with a guy who is convinced the earth is flat and space is fake and all the governments know it and that’s why planes aren’t allowed to ever fly over Antarctica or something.

    But even that guy jumped off the trump train.

      I worked with someone who seriously claimed that covid was produced by 5G towers, and also was a con by the government so they could inject nanobots into our blood via vaccines. He was never able to see the contradiction.

      He also relieved that if you speed in a rental car for some reason the police cannot pull you over. Boy was he wrong.

        I’m not sure I see the contradiction myself. It sounds like the theory is the towers somehow transmit the virus which creates the need and pretext for the vaccine that allows the secret nanobot injection right?

        Is it contradictory because the capacity to wirelessly transmit a biological virus through these 5g towers would mean they wouldn’t need to physically inject these nanobot things because they should be able to just transmit them the same way? Because if so, I can see what you mean but I suppose that doesn’t necessarily follow, like maybe for whatever reason viruses are different to nanobots and can somehow be transmitted through radio technology but nanobots can’t. Or also they might think, as so many conspiracy theorists do, that COVID is a “hoax” so that opens up all kinds of creative interpretations, maybe their 5g towers merely produce the disease known as COVID and there is no actual virus known as SARS-COV-2 and that’s the “hoax” part. That theory wouldn’t require virus transmission over radiowaves just radiowaves being “bad” for reasons that could be made up later.
