The Conspiracy of Internet trends

 

Hello, all. Yeah I know, lots of posts in a matter of days. But I think I have one more topic I want to discuss really quick, that might cause some laughs. Who knows.

This time I want to cover the topic of internet conspiracies. Now, hear me out. Don't be so quick to put on your tin foils just yet.

But let, me start that there is a very easy notion online to believe everything you read or hear, even in the irony of this blog post. But that's okay on my end, this is just a blog discourse, it's not a news source.

But anyway, conspiracies. Man, they are everywhere now. In 2023, the best information you can have is based on real-time events of what is factually happening. This is where people receive their news, in whatever means you do on the internet. 

Yet, this also means there are MANY different ways people can easily jump to conclusions about what happens, sometimes only making things worse. 

This can be anywhere from multiple gossip rumors about unconfirmed things that happen during a real time event, and the scope of the event and the actual details at hand.

Now, this alone isn't so bad in 2023....if it weren't for politics.

So, let me tell you something about politics, it's very bias. I am sure you know where I am going with this. Some news you may hear may be pre-filtered for you to know about. Even with real time events, some places can manage what you hear, who exactly you know about, and who to possible point fingers at. This is just how journalism is now. Even I have to put more effort into knowing the differences in news media now, like this place is known for doing this, or this place tends to glorify that and omit this. 

It's horrible, just horrible.

In our technological advance age, where it has never been so easy to have powerful technology at your means, it's also a time where information is so lose, it's so easy to warp reality. And that's what I want to talk about today. The aftermath of conspiracies.

I have noticed, ever since 9/11, that the news has slowly spiraled into a circus show. Just comparing how other places do the evening news, you can see the differences in what some focus on and what some don't even talk about. But, in this age, where it's so easy to pass on information, early events can easily become a game of telephone, but later on, everything eventually becomes a conspiracy.

9/11? Nah son, it's a conspiracy. Gov'ts? nah son conspiracy. SpaceX? Nah son, conspiracy. 

If you asked me, a few months ago, I would have told you that the real world isn't so family friendly as it seems to be, but now, I am less depressed and realize that life is what you make of it, whether good or bad. And for every bad thing happening in the world, there is plenty, even more so doing good things.

That's why I don't give up on humanity, as a whole. Because so long as there is good in people's actions, there will always be evil. 

But, what does this have to do with conspiracies? Everything! That's the point. Everything you hear and know about is prone to have a skeptic and scoffer now, even if it is the truth or whether you yourself were there at an event in time. That's just where we are as a society. 

And it's largely because of internet trolls and the access of the internet that makes it easy for comments to be trendy, speculation to be popular, and conspiracies to be believed. 

That also means, that it's going to be up to everyone to gather the truth on their own, until society is able to get it together and the right people finally sort things out when it comes to news sources and what is real.

I mean, in 2023 everything is up to debate. If gender, simple boy and girl topics are so debatable, then that just means nothing is true anymore if it's not popular as a society.

 

But is this so shocking? People before have played off history as just "Hitler was just an innocent politician" and WW2 was just an army wide exercise.

I only worry, that our actual professional levels won't bend over to brainless comments, but, this is 2023 now. And people get in hot water just for stating the basic facts of events.

I did make that post about Cyberpunk2077. A clear example of how quick even today people are to change history into the popular narrative. And, stating the facts, is now considered attempting to rewrite history. Even though, what most people really do is try to push their opinions, as history, and not the facts. So to "rewrite history" is really a just a boardgame defense and a blank statement of what people say now. If you ever hear someone say you are attempting to "rewrite history," just know you probably didn't do anything wrong except list the chain of events that happened, and people are just triggered because you're bringing in reality to challenge what is opinionated "true" history. In the case of Cyberpunk2077, I, and many more are starting to reveal the facts about launch, while being attacked for attempting to "rewrite" history. All, I said was that the game was not unplayable or unfinished, but it did have performance optimization bugs on launch. But, because I didn't follow the internet narrative bandwagon of "CDPR" lied to us, these facts are just seen as rewriting history. 

This is why it's VERY important to take a mature and neutral stance when it comes to policy, or news, or whatever title you have as an admin. Because even with news sources, sometimes those that are in power are the bias ones that say what is and isn't history. So, that's why I always encourage others to think for themselves. To know both sides of the story. To understand the four nations of the avatar blah blah blah. You know the prep talk Zuco.

Anyways, this all again points back into the current obsession that the internet has with conspiracies. Because, like I said earlier, after the people learn about the real time events, sooner or later, (much sooner than later) the internet will begin to build a conspiracy around it. 

And that's what affects most people now. We are nomads to many things, culture, politics, housing, internet security, even our very news. It's going to take some time for people to get their heads straight, but the day couldn't come sooner. I just hope the future doesn't change to "there are twenty types of human species."

But that's for tomorrow's leaders to decide. All I'm saying is, it's just sad. Don't be quick to follow the stereotypes that you know. Take time to learn about things for yourself. No! Don't do it. Don't you dare "educate" yourself by going back to similar news saying the same rumor. 

Disclaimer: I am a human. I did write this. I am not a conspiracy for debate.
