@TedReaser [name pseudonymized] [ontology] : This right here is interesting. You can’t really argue with a firsthand source. That is very strong evidence. I think @mikeyb340 was onto something with the birds. #truth #woke #redwave #birds [URL redacted]
#NarrativeTruthFabricationBirdsArentRealPeterMcIndoe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXu4_s5nuwI https://birdsarentreal.com/pages/about #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesTaylorLorenz "'Dealing in the world of misinformation for the past few years, we've been really conscious of the line we walk,' he said. 'The idea is meant to be so preposterous, but we make sure nothing we're saying is too realistic. That's a consideration with coming out of character.' Most Birds Aren't Real members, many of whom are part of an on-the-ground activism network called the Bird Brigade, grew up in a world overrun with misinformation. Some have relatives who have fallen victim to conspiracy theories. So for members of Gen Z, the movement has become a way to collectively grapple with those experiences. By cosplaying conspiracy theorists, they have found community and kinship, Mr. McIndoe said. 'Birds Aren't Real is not a shallow satire of conspiracies from the outside. It is from the deep inside,' he said. 'A lot of people in our generation feel the lunacy in all this, and Birds Aren't Real has been a way for people to process that.'" https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/09/technology/birds-arent-real-gen-z-misinformation.html #MetaphorGenerationGenZ #TheoryAbsurdism
