@Stahesh It's almost always all hype and an example of how the "Right-wing" media plays into the hands of the establishment by amplifying the garbage.
Oh no, a TV anchor said "the Solar Eclipse earthquake", what does he know!
The "Cern" thing was particularly ridiculous, those people are clearly trolling the Religious Right. First they shot a video of the staff performing an occult ritual, now someone claimed they're going to use the solar eclipse to open a portal or something. Ridiculous
@UncleIroh @Based_Accelerationist I did not expect much but at least something not nothing.
Like random BLM or leftist riot starting over eclipse.
or some political escalation
@Based_Accelerationist @Stahesh
Those Cern dudes were probably trolling the hell out of everyone.
On the other hand, there are also people, including elites, who are legit into this. And they take it very very seriously.
There's a funny consequence to this - since atheists are mostly incapable of understanding how people can take any of this stuff seriously, it becomes a blind spot that is easily exploited.
The eclipse hype was still dumb though.
