Bit of a relief to be honest. Someone needed to shut the universe down until we figure out what the hell is going on.

HOLY JESUS, 50 000 ALIENS ARE BURSTING OUT OF MY ASSHOLE AS WE SPEAK

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

Someone get a bucket and a mop for this alien leaking ass asshole.

So what % of Americans actually believe stuff like this? 2-3%? 5%?

inb4 "most Americans are religious so about 80%"

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 3 weeks ago

At least 17% as of 2022 so it's probably more by now.

Chris Hedges talks a lot about this, how material conditions continue to degrade people turn to magical thinking.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but most Qanon people aren't fully into all this alien invasion crap, they just believe Hollywood is full of pedophiles (correct) and Trump is going to save the children from migrant hordes of satanic criminals (incorrect). I wanna know how many true freaks that believe in reptilian aliens there are.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

Hm. I don't know. I just assumed they were into the outlandish shit too like alieums and time travel and stuff.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

I think that given enough time, someone who gets into Qanon and stays in whatever community is beaming that garbage into their heads will slowly radicalize and start believing in that stuff. But there's kind of a balance to it, where some people who are fully into it stop believing as time goes on and nothing happens.

We should be grateful; in the alien presidency the other guy was going to send 70 billion ships!

[-] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

Well, 50 billion alien shadow invaders are just 50 billion friends I haven't met yet as far as I'm concerned.

[-] Philosophosphorous@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

i am willing to defect to the aliens, especially if they let me pilot an alien mecha against the imperialists

[-] Omegamint@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

Sometimes I think about that one time I did a PCP analogue and went fully manic and started thinking this way, and then afterwards told myself "never again".

But hey, maybe again

[-] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

There is a surprisingly alright Dr Who spinoff series called "Class" where the central big bad is a genocidal army of shadow people that just, like, step outta a person's shadow and shank 'em.

If Class is anything to go by, we simply need to find a teenage girl with sufficient anger issues to fight these aliens' leader in an arena kinda like a Dark Souls boss to fix this.

it's time to put on makeup

it's time to dress up right

it's time to meet the 60 billion aliens coming in through the shadows, the light, by shockwave tonight

[-] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

the brandon regime is letting in SIXTY BILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS and they WILL SLURP YOUR CHILDREN'S BRAINS

[-] tombruzzo@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

'Invaded by over 60 billion aliens'. Someone has been reading my AO3 posts and taking them literally

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Will mankind unite to fight the alien menace?

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

Most unrealistic part of Watchmen.

[-] NPa@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

this is actually happening, but QTHESTORMM is just living in a much more interesting parallel universe, kinda jealous tbh

[-] A_Manul@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

You could make a fun unfiction project from that. Post this kind of stuff and everyone thinks you're crank, but then it ends up being a story about an account from a parallel universe that somehow can post to here.

[-] NPa@hexbear.net 3 points 3 weeks ago

"The Man in the High Castle" but instead of finding a book, he finds a phone with access to alternate universe twitter where the US was defeated by the USSR in 1930 and he just malds for 500 pages about having to live in dog-water US-hegemony world bateman-business-card

Is this a bit account? Q used to be ridiculous but at least sort of plausible.
