By anti-government, they mean opposed to the idea that government can do positive things for people, not opposed to the current government.

Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer, the founder of Veterans On Patrol, told the station he posted a sign warning of other radars being targeted near weather radar. He said he believes the government is modifying the weather, according to the article.

"They can embed their technology and civilian infrastructure in every home and every household utilizing the phones and their network towers to not only control the weather, modify the weather, but they can (target) individuals," Meyer said in the article.

Control the weather. Target individuals. How can anyone get this stupid?

It starts with heavy use of Fox News and escalates to uncontrolled ingestion of right wing talk radio, NewsMax, and OAN.

I mean the government is modifying the weather in a way that causes natural disasters. They do it using something called "fossil fuel subsidies" and "meat subsidies"

Good point. I heard somewhere they're going to spend like $150B on ice too. They're definitely up to something - that would be enough ice for every glass and cooler in America. Maybe they'll spread chemtrail ice for the radar to interact with?

Most of the out-there conspiracy people just don't understand something(in this case climate change), and invent/attached themselves to a fantasy where they've "seen through the lies" and everyone else is wrong. A lot of them actually know deep down that they're wrong, but ironically they don't want to be seen as stupid for admitting they don't understand. That's why they love using phrases that indicate non-believers are dumb, followers/sheep, or that deniers just don't understand, etc.

TL;DR: They're too stupid to realize they're acting stupid.

If only those idiots rubbed some braincells together and destroyed AI datacenter infrastructure instead

Attack MechaHitler? I think not.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

These guys are fully bought into the MAGA madness. They literally think immigrants are invading, liberals control the weather, and Christianity should be a state religion.

Extremely stupid and extremely well armed

I'd trust a monkey with a shotgun more than these jackasses

This is just HAARP all over again, but super localized.

Weather radar controls the weather.

In other news... any fantastic lie I could possibly come up with would sound reasonable next to that

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And somehow our phones are part of the System. I assume there's an app for that, something that lets me dial in whatever wx I want, for anywhere, anytime. What's it called? Goddamn, another $ubscription I bet.

Oh... that's the 5g that helps control the Jewish space lasers

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Ah, I see. Well looky here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_Interferometer_Space_Antenna Notice how They're trying to cover up the purpose of the lasers with some kind of scientific hoohaw, and not a word about how they'll be controlled by The Jews.
