This shit has seriously gone on too long. People who continue to cling to the “10,000 dead crushed by tanks hosed i to the gutter” bs are cranks. It’s jews control the banks, chemtrails, the earth is flat, the moon isn’t real level of crank shit and unless you’re feeling very indulgent and someone is asking in good faith it can be dismissed as equally serious to that kind of crank shit.
It’s been wild watching reddit get more and more outrageous every year. It’s like a yearly holiday for redditors where they try to make up the craziest bullshit they can and then all agree to believe it.
