I had a discussion recently with someone here about the phrase "That's how they get you!" The member wasn't aware of what it meant, and I tried to explain it as the classic old guy trope where you're in an all you can eat situation, and when the bread and salad comes, the old guy who's perpetually on the lookout for ways "they" scam you says, "Ah, don't eat that, that's how they get you!"
I even admitted it's probably a sad way to live your life, but it's so hard not to when you find out things like you'll see in this video. People intentionally trying to fuck you over (and/or fuck over the planet by extension) is why people like me have to be on the lookout for ways to prevent "getting got" as much as you can because there's so much already out there that will fuck you over that's baked into the pie.
Enjoy the following. It's probably going to make your blood boil.
Just because there are crazy conspiracy theorists doesn't mean actual conspiracy isn't a thing. As far as someone trying to educate as to how they might be getting manipulated, the fact that ignorant people want tob dismiss what they say and call them boomers. That's what's sad.
