I periodically see cars with conspiracy messages scrawled on the back window, but claiming the sun is fake is a new one.

Surely you've seen the Truman Show?

How are you going to get the shadows for the moon landing right if you don't control an artificial sun?

Oh, that's just the tip of the iceberg.  Unfortunately, given the sheer wall of text at the website, the actual content is mostly video.

But the comments sections are terrifyingly comic, or comically terrifying.  I'm not sure which.  Or maybe just terrifying.

This guy must do a lot of blow in order to generate the sheer volume of rants, manifestos, videos, "documentaries", interviews, podcasts, reports, chemtrail observations, etc that he apparently manages to.

I remember as the age of the Internet was dawning back in the mid 90's I had so much excitement about how it would democratize publishing.  No more would a writer - it was pretty much all writing at the time, pictures and video were a struggle for those 14.4k modems! - need to convince some big publishing company to get their article into a magazine or newspaper so that their ideas could be spread across the nation.  Now, all you needed was a computer and a phone line and you could be your own publisher and start to write about all the things They Don't Want You To Know!

After 30 years of examples like this, I long for the days of editors.

That dude has found a niche that is making him bank. A few of his videos have close to 20 million views and most of them are well over 100k. 

He's found a product that sells and is selling it for all he's worth. As a bonus, the crazies he attracts do his advertising for him by filling their back window with his web address.

People have always been gullible, insane, paranoid, etc.

A difference in our time is that they can find a positive feedback loop on the websites where they congregate.

Is it really any different than pretending people that live off tax dollars need our post tax income to stay in power? 

Or that in a nation of what 380 million people, the 1000 in power are remotely the best options available? 

Not trying to flounder, just shedding some perspective.

I mean, the Illuminati have been around since the late 1400s, so there's that.

Although, you didn't specify what you mean by "these" times, so I guess you could have been referring to the last 500 years.

As a writer, I find it often best to merely hint at a line of reasoning, then take a step back and let people draw their own conclusions.  You know, leave a little something to the imagination. laugh

Times have always been troubled, and always will be. There will never be a shortage of humans that suck to ruin it for everybody else.

Without making any guesses as to the mental fitness of the rear window journalist, it bears mentioning that there is some talk of popping up a big umbrella to give us a little shade...

You see, this is the problem with automotive design today. The belt lines are so high and the greenhouses are so small, this poor prophet of the commute had to limit the messages he could share with his literal followers. What important messages are we missing? That spare tire alone might be preventing us from knowing who killed JFK.

Nobody killed JFK.

Chuck Norris traveled back in time, dove in front of the gunman and deflected the bullet with his beard.  Kennedy's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

A lot of guys on the internet don't believe that stuff, but post it anyway to make money on the rubes. It's the rubes that scare me.

If that were the V6 version of that car, he would be so happy that he wouldn't worry about the deep state.
