What is it with people nowadays?

Why does every phenomenon need a conspiracy associated with it?

I’m not saying there are no conspiracies, as we’ve seen a number of examples of cover -ups and official misdirection in recent years, but why do simple things need a complicated conspiracy attached to them?

Years ago you just wouldn’t bother; you’d agree to disagree with someone who remembered something being different to how you remember it and move on with life. You wouldn’t swear you 100% remember something as it wasn’t, spit your dummy out and call it a conspiracy. It says something about the 21st century mindset; there’s an ugly narcissism and complete lack of humility about it.

This flat-earth-level fuckery has lead some dickheads to assert the psychological phenomenon of the Mandela Effect is caused by experiments at CERN or sometimes that old chestnut HAARP, shifting us all into a parallel dimension where we ‘misremember’ the past as it really was

What is more likely: People misremember things from Films and TV and there is confirmation bias amongst networks of friends, or that some fucking black holes or dimensional rift was involved because of superconducting magnets underneath France?

The very name of ‘Mandela Effect’ is a misnomer – it’s based on the supposed shared memory of several people having seen or read that Nelson Mandela died in jail. I’ve never thought that, maybe I was too young to register it but I remember the news of his release.

Same goes for the film Big. Some people swear blind that Elizabeth Perkins’ character joins Tom Hanks in regressing back to childhood after using the same fairground Zoltar cabinet. I only remember the film as described normally. Josh Baskin returns to being a boy and runs back to his home and his is relieved to see him again after thinking he was kidnapped. It would’ve added an unnecessary complication to have Susan regress to childhood as well and generally foul-up the narrative conventions of film storytelling; equilibrium is not restored, the woman goes missing and everyone in her life worries.

The alternative ending idea never made sense.

So why are certain pop cultural facts changed by this and not everyone is affected?

Another supposed phenomenon is people remembering airliners with engines underneath their wings. Ever since I was a child and owned Matchbox toys of 747s or Airbus they usually have the engine protruding from the leading edge of the wing via a diagonally-angled pylon. The only airliner I remember having engines under the wings was Concorde.

There seems to be a lot of very trivial misremembering about clothing logos and TV episodes and eighties films, and perhaps calling it the Mandela Effect is overselling the whole phenomenon.

It’s a real phenomenon of human memory, but the reasons behind seem to me obvious and mundane.

Forbes.

What’s far more concerning is Soviet-style memory-holing by big tech of certain occurrences and quotes by governments and corporations, which are often excused as ‘errors’ when pointed out.

Do we need more conspiracy theories when there’s enough shady shit and gaslighting being done already?

Just like the unflushable turd he is, the Tik Tok “prankster” – at the age of 19 with a string of convictions, the little black would-be Jeremy Beadle, has appeared in court yet again, charged with stealing a woman’s phone, which he snatched from her hand, before cycling off – one of those cycle-by robberies the police and the press have been exercised by so much lately. To prove that theft was the motivation, not a “prank”, since he wasn’t recording this time, the little cunt threw the phone over a hedge while being chased by the police.

Given his previous convictions, you would think the magistrate would have imposed a custodial sentence, wouldn’t you?,. Wrong: a fine and the continuation of an already handed down community service order.

I wonder if it is because he is black?:

People who can’t wait to tell you the weather forecast are a cunt.

I’m a ‘take each day as it comes’ kind of fella and I choose to avoid weather forecasts if I can.

As I’m not a fisherman, roofer, builder or landscape gardener, my job isn’t weather dependent so if I wake and the sun is shining – great. If I wake and the sun isn’t shining or it’s pissing it down – not so great.

However I tend not to try and dwell on it too much and choose to live in the perhaps naive hope, that it’ll change for the better the following day.

Which brings me to the next door neighbour. A retired man in his early 70s who is only happy being eternally miserable.

If he catches me leaving for work on a sunny morning with a spring in my step, he can’t wait to ambush me with the weather forecast.

“It’s gonna break.” he’ll say.
Or “it’s not gonna last!”

During the darker months when it pisses down perpetually and I’m depressed as fuck, he’s there to collar me when I’m getting back from work or from walking the dog in the evening.

“Oh this is on for the rest of the week!” he’ll cheerfully inform me.

I’ve told him on a number of occasions thanks but I don’t really bother with weather forecasts.

Yet he still can’t help getting all John Kettley on me when I least expect it.

He’s very much far from being alone in this British phenomenon mind.

A client only yesterday, (a nice sunny day – surprisingly) couldn’t wait to tell me “it’s not going to last”

If I want a weather forecast then I’ll have a look or a listen for myself, otherwise, fuck off.

again. The gathering of the cunts.

Every year the same. Middle to upper class fuckwits congregate. To watch the usual garbage.

A has been rock relic way past their prime, but paid ridiculous money to creak out their ‘classics’. Macca. Fleetwood Mac, U2, Rolling Stones. That sort of thing.

Some crappy ‘guilty pleasure/novelty’ act. Past glories include Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter. And watching Lionel Richie or Diana Ross melt in 25 degree heat is not a nice thing.

Some overrated up themself current pop cunt. William Eilish or Lana Del Cunt Someone like that. And the snotty little cunt will turn up late. Won’t be able to finish their set, as they’ll break a fungernail or spaz out becuase they have tourettes or some other ‘illness’. Lardarse Capaldi sprimgs to mind.

Some uppity treeswinger cunt who revels in pimping, crime and violence. The crowd, of course, lap this up. And shout the ‘N’ word because it’s the most rebellious thing they will ever do.

The crowd of twats will be socialists for the day, and chant for Starmer, Corbyn and Greta the Mong.

All hosted by that complete cunt, Lauren Laverne.

Link here. Telling us about Glasto’s latest novelty antique riding a horse. Barrel well and truly scraped.

if i may add to this cunting, the hypocritical cunts who are in the audience cheering and clapping people like Greta agreeing with her every word about global warming, recycling, plastic in water ways etc etc, yet leave all their shit behind.

they are all bandwagonners on the latest fad to look somehow cool, but dont actually believe the bollocks they seemingly agree with when in an audience.

There’s no cunt like a deluded Welsh cunt.
And I speak as one.

”Wales should get £4bn HS2 compensation – Plaid Cymru”

Yes, for a railway that was all about Londoners going somewhere unpleasant but being home in time for artisanal sourdough hummus and avocado.

”Party leader Rhun ap Iorwerth called for “fair” funding for Wales and a £20 a week increase to child benefit in its manifesto for the general election.”

This party has Welsh independence at it’s core. But still wants handouts. £20 extra for chavs and immos.

”The party said it would oppose the renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system, and called for the UK to re-enter the EU customs union.”

Wales safe from Putin then? And of course it’s odd how independence from the UK requires reliance on Brussels – see SNP.

Wales has been run into the ground by Labour since devolution (God bless Tony Blair) But this bunch of cunts show that perhaps it could be worse.

Let the Welshism begn.
