Still might be preferable to what the US government is doing to kids.
US government: we’re running low on stock, issue an amber alert
this would be a reason for the government to reason.
No need, they already cut disability insurance in a plan their own statistics said would send hundreds of thousands into poverty. This plan will surely kill people.
Oh also they classified a peaceful protest group against Israeli genocide as a terrorist group and you’ll go to jail for saying you support them.
So many reasons for them to resign.
Isn’t that a popular conspiracy theory in multiple countries already, people in power snatching children for their blood? I know my neighbor believes that our prime minister drinks children’s blood.
So basically I’m the only person who finds the fact that cross-cultural misunderstandings are leading to some Americans thinking the senior directors of the NHS are eating children is UTTERLY HILARIOUS?
Good to know.
It’s never going to be as funny as Americans hearing us talk about “smoking fags” though, is it?
That’s a hate crime.
Only if you do it indoors.
Yeah, it is kinda hilarious. I’m just a bit apathetic due to current state of the world that was in no small part caused by ridiculous conspiracy theories. And this one sounded familiar at its core.
Lmao, people here used to say that Lucía Hiriart was stealing stem cells from kids since it seemed like she would never die. Fucking witch, I wouldn’t be surprised if she actually tried.
Claiming that it’s “the Jews” is such ancient antisemiticism that it has its own name: the blood libel. It started as “they need blood for sacrifices (during passover especially) and sweet christian children have the best blood.” But it’s spread for so long and mutated over the years that claims of outright Jewish vampirism are quite common in bigot circles.
I wouldn’t be surprised that it’s spread into the wider conspiracy theory world. A lot of antisemitic tropes eventually get broadly applied when the bigotry is disconnected.
Oh, right! I was only vaguely familiar with the blood libel thing, it explains a lot.
