I don't imagine actors are particularly more or less likely to fall for woo conspiracies than anyone else. We just hear about it. Especially from those who are inclined to express their thoughts charmingly unhindered by whatever The Man might think of it.

I dunno. When it comes to woo and new age b.llsh.t California's basically the Hebden Bridge of America.

Goes back a long way, man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o ... California and even today a lot of Californians are living in lalaland.

Eamonn Holmes, FFS. Talking about the "mainstream media", like we should all switch off ITV or something.

Mainstream Media

State Narrative

Holmes had really drunk deeply from the conspiracy theory koolaid bucket, the terminal he was using is right off the usual playlist:

Mainstream Media

- FFS he's an ITV reporter

State Narrative

- Ah yes, we have a predefined state narrative to deny that 5G and Corvid-19 are not linked

As someone with an inquiring mind

- I'm only asking question

What an utter tw.t.

"Terminology", I assume you meant. Yes, it's a very peculiar selection of buzzwords to use if you're not actually a nutter yourself, unless you are being ironic or mocking which he clearly wasn't.

I'm not sure how useful that description is, but it's probably arguable that it is. But then again if you wanted to put a different spin on it you might claim that it was civil disobedience. Not successfully, I would imagine.

Scientists have warned that reading or hearing about the new 5G network can cause increased levels of stupidity in those exposed to it. The study found that even acquiring second or third-hand knowledge about the technology could result in believing all sorts of bollocks, from the belief that it causes the Coronavirus, to the idea that radiowaves which already exist all around you might somehow become dangerous if they contain the internet.
