That fluoride makes people stupid.

That humans only contribute like 0.2% of greenhouse gases and have no impact in climate change.

That petroleum is a natural renewable mode of transportation that doesn’t come from dinasaurs

And that science is not reliable because people just say “trust the science” but get made when you “question the science” and that he doesn’t trust what he can’t replicate

And that NASA just lies and was founded by NAZIs so they just do nothing and collect government money

What is crazy to me is that this guy is great at his job and has got me unstuck from coding related problems several times. Yet, he believes in all these conspiracies 😵

I considered this guy to be smart and yet he gave me this ackward conspiracy info dump session

      That’s the weird thing though, our workplace is overwhelmingly not white. It was like a weird solidarity thing for him to have another cracker to conspire with. And he evidently got along fine with everyone else, I guess he kept the racist shit to himself most of the time.

        Crazy how that works! That he is able to be nice to people while plotting to kill them in the future.

      yea have also heard some insane stuff due to this.

      Worse of all is that I’ve pushed back and instead of them getting mad they play it off as a joke.

        Yeah my weirdo was very confused when I tried to shut the conversation down by identifying with communism, but he kept going. It was only when he found out that I was a race traitor that he gave up trying to convince me (one of many times my partner has been instrumental in shutting down CHUDs).

          I have met dudes with non-white partners who are still white supremacists, so I dont think that will shut down all of them. Many slave masters had slave concubines after all.

              They either do it to escape poverty or because they themselves are non-white white supremacists. I have met lots of non-white white supremacists. It is a disease left from colonialism and neo-colonialism.

                There’s a depressingly cynical pragmatism to it. If one group is oppressing a second group and you have no faith in your ability to unseat that group than you and your childrens material interests are best served by attempting to be part of that group. I don’t agree with it but I understand it

        Yup seen people try to push back on the racist bullshit on work sites.

        And that’s how you get the nickname nr lover or ft, which you will be addressed as very regularly.
