    Safe bet is them blaming vaccines. But some dark horse candidates include:

    • Chyna
    • some vague “chemicals”
    • some new thing that they claim to have “discovered” (and sell the magical solution to)
    • Communism
    • government regulation
    • fluoride
    • water treatment in general
    • kids these days being coddled too much
    • and of course, Satan.

    I think that’s all the main ones, can anyone else think of anything else they’re likely to blame?

      It’s unlikely but I’m hoping some RF waves or something. I just want to watch tech companies bend over backwards to cater to the new unwoke demand. We got seed oils that aren’t seed oils. We already take parasite meds for common viruses. Need to go after the ghosts in the airwaves now.

      During the big reveal - there’s a rock band standing behind RFK Jr. who are like waxwork figures made of up of 60 somethings. After he says he’s going to stop the damage and the needles - he says “Hit it boys,” and they they start to move and the creaking bar band music starts to play. And in his matching rusty razor blades voice - RFK Jr., himself, does the vocals. Out of time and off-key.

      I caught you knockin’ at my cellar door…

    100 years of study and research but nah, a guy with a worm eating his brain and no background in mental health, medicine, or or actual fucking autism figured out the cause of autism in 9 months. Sure.

      figured out the cause of autism in 9 months. Sure.

      8 months. January to September is 8 months and so is March to November. My theory is this timeframe is deliberate so that when people say this, he can say “I’m supposed to believe we figured out the COVID vaccine in 8 months. Sure.” ignoring of course that we knew about SARS since 2003 and could have had a vaccine before the pandemic had even started but we simply didn’t give researchers enough funding.

    lathe-of-heaven It’s a direct consequence of capitalism, like the proliferation of microplastics or industrial chemicals in the air and water. Lathing a total heartbreaking moment from Captain Brainworms.

    It would be fucking hilarious if it turned out neoliberalism is responsible for way more of it than vaccines or 5G or whatever the conspiracy reason is these days.

      My assumption is that there have been autistic people before capitalism/neoliberalism were invented but they are responsible for people like RFK treating it this way. We’re definitely getting a conspiracy reason though.

        Thrasyllos from the deme Aiksône endured an incredible and novel madness. For he left the city and went to the Peiraia and stayed there. He believed that all the ships that sailed in were his and he wrote down their names, checked the list when they left and rejoiced when they returned safely to the harbor again.

    Going back in time with a trained gorilla to perform the drum solo from “In The Air Tonight” on RFK Sr’s balls in 1952 so this fucking loser never gets born.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
