What is missing inside people

They dont have a life. They are bored. Stirring shite is their drug. There are many, many examples on this from posters on this board

No one really engages with them on opinions in real life, so they make up shite to gain importance, involvement, attention, and superiority

Look no further than the Afrocentrist.

They think Whyte people stole all their inventions, intentionally wrote them out of history.

They believe they are the first:
Vikings
Native Americans
Japanese (Samurai)
Chinese
Egyptians
Aztecs
Scottish and Irish
Moors

The list changes every day.

I think it's because they don't actually know their roots because of the transatlantic slave trade and no real records. It's sad, but also dangerous.

Can you provide an example?


Sure...after the bridge collapse in Baltimore, I see some rando on xitter posting the video of the Crimea bridge that was hit by missiles and saying...look closely you can see the bridge was blown up and not hit by that ship. Easily debunked. Clearly disinformation. What was going through their mind when they decided to create a completely fake story?

They have a hole inside of them that gets filled with attention.

Like this thread is probably doing for someone (who thinks you are responding to them) right now.

When you step onto the poliboard and read the utter nonsense that is typed by normal, every day people on that board, you don't really believe these people just come up with these ideas spontaneously, right?


Since you mentioned poliboard, here is a perfect example of what you are talking about. This is a malinfromation post from twitter:



Brian is playing on low information voters who do not realize that DJT is a publicly traded company and anyone can easily find out how Trump increased his net worth very quickly.

Add to this some who were claiming this ship was owned by North Korea or Yemen.
Or that the ship was piloted by a Ukrainian who was sure to have crashed it on purpose.

On twitter I came across a guy's post promoting a conspiracy theory claiming dynamite charges were used to help bring down the bridge. The "flames" in the video were electrical wires being snapped (and arching occurred). He was quickly and overwhelmingly corrected, on twitter. More information worked and worked well.

Misinformation and disinformation. The newest buzzwords to hide the truth. P.S. Fauci and the FDA showed you what those words meant.

Many of yall think I'm talking about something that has some truth or is labeled a "conspiracy theory" because it doesn't align with their political beliefs etc...I'm not...I'm talking about just flat ou


There's a few conspiracies with some truth to them but half of them are simply copes made up by people who refuse to acknowledge that their voting habits and lack of action may have led to the problem.

Dumb. Disinformation is about 95% of the reason for the unrest and disharmony in the US. Somewhere, a group of people intentionally started the “Breonna Taylor was killed in her bed for no reason” phony narrative and look what happened. It should be a crime, but they wouldn’t be able to enforce that.

I don’t see any difference between what you said, and saying “Who cares if people steal shite from Target? It’s their ability to move freely”

I can’t say what motivates people who do things like this, but what I can do is pray for the salvation of the hearts of mankind from evil temptation, and instead to nothing but love for each other and God.
