I hate to call everything gaslighting but it fucking sucks to be called a conspiracy theorist for half a goddamn decade and then one day, all of a sudden that thing I was saying and getting shat on for is now “common knowledge” and the fact that it wasn’t treated as such until a specific point in time, gets tossed down the memory hole.
This isn’t the first time it’s happened which is why I’m assuming everyone is going to soon claim they always knew Biden didn’t have full control of his faculties despite not being at that point just yet.
Makes me think of every single coup that gets pointed out as having all the hallmarks of being a CIA operation and then turns out to have been one decades later…
In 15 years it’s gonna be common knowledge that the Uyghur thing was a psyop and the people yelling at me now will pretend they always knew and that it doesn’t matter because it’s not something they do anymore and that [insert new psyop here] totally isn’t an op.
Makes me wish I had my own newspaper so I can write the headline “You were stupid then, you’ll be stupid in the future” about people not listening to reason or even believing their own eyes and ears, and then republishing that headline every few years. Perhaps open and repeated mockery will finally get through.

this is ALWAYS how the “conspiracy theorist” name-callers act
they drag you through the mud until one day you’re proven right and then it’s “well duh idiot, everyone already knew that”

precisely
I wonder if this is the stuff that pushed Lenin over the edge
I wonder if he ever would have gotten anything done if he had access to chuds on the internet. Probably would have had a stroke 20 years earlier.
