Because the government can’t afford a book of matches?
Not in this economy
Like the “Jewish space lasers” bullshit that Margarine Traitor Greed mentioned.
If we had space lasers, we’d use them in Ukraine.
Jews won’t use their space lasers to help Ukraine because Ukraine is full of Nazis. /s
Then they would use them against Ukraine.
Flawless logic.
But that would put the US into direct conflict with Russia. Military lasers are definitely a thing
They don’t exist at the magnitude you think. We don’t have space lasers that can attack ground targets yet and probably never will. At best they can jam certain systems like drones.
I mean we could, but we’d secretly have to get four battery modules each the size of the international space station into orbit.
Only for solid state lasers. There are other kinds though. But they would still be fairly impractical and heavy to have in orbit. And wouldn’t be good for much more than one shot
I think you underestimate current military capabilities which are decades beyond public knowledge tech.
Physics does have some solid limits though. The amount of power required for lasers to travel miles through atmosphere is massive.
But if it’s the same space lasers they are using on Maui that nobody seems to be able to detect it’s source, then wouldn’t the same thing apply if they used it on Russia?
Hey, those are real! /s
I know this will fall on deaf ears, but the best thing we can do is stop amplifying these people by posting these stories and upvoting them.
Everything is a conspiracy since the internet became a “news” source
I think the same people would think the same stuff. Just now they travel faster and wider.
I think bouncing ideas off of each other on social media does drive them further into the rabbit hole, and leads them to ideas they might not have gotten to otherwise.
One person starts saying things as a joke or as a griefer and people run with it.
That’s how the flat Earth thing got its resurgence online. It was fucking joke that got taken way too far and now has “followers” that believe it.
Trump too. The_Donald started that way.
You Can’t Stump the Trump (Volume 4).
It was all fun and games and centipedes and 420 sniper headshot dubstep memes. And then shit got real.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/MKH6PAoUuD0
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
And posting on the internet is like shouting into the void, except more people can hear idiots online than on their shitty AM broadcast.
Yeah, just because they’re posting it on Twitter instead of ranting on street corners doesn’t make it a news story.
And when they finally do determine the cause, nobody will ever believe them.
Edit I want to say too, that photo is heartbreaking. It’s NOT a black and white photo. I zoomed in on a little spot of red… it was a stop sign.
The wall of flame was reaching speeds of 80 mph.
That’s unfathomable to me.
There are reports that it was downed power lines. It was super windy which is what also caused it to move so rapidly and with such ferocity.
Yeah, I saw that video tonight, would not be surprising!
oh shit, man that just messed with my head so bad
I hate to make the comparison with this photo, but all I can think of with the stop sign in the middle is the scene with the little girl in the red coat in Schindler’s List.
Which only proves how stupid they are. There is no need for lasers if a simple cigarette but thrown away carelessly is sufficient.
Or a downed power line, how hard is that to believe
The fact that my mom actually believes this 💀💀💀
My mom thinks Biden’s a robot. So…
That’s ridiculous, an AI would be way more coherent than Biden.
Ignorance is a disease. The curiosity for education is the only answer. But our Prussian inspired educational system and capitalism doesn’t give us the tools to even begin to combat it.
They said the same thing about Canada’s fires 👍
It’s amazing they haven’t come up with a more practical way of starting fires.
Yes but conspiracy theorists think that radio waves create atomic structures, so I think it’s pretty clear they’ll believe any old nonsense.
The government do not have those types of lasers.
Because the Jews operate them?
Yes, that’s the crazy part of this, the idea that the government doesn’t have access to those types of lasers.
That’s what they want you to think.
Republicans only attack America to make Biden look bad. So they should start there.
Jesus fuck.
