    In parts of England, they burned down 5G towers because of ignorant Facebook posts. Voting for something like Brexit with zero critical thinking is pretty common.

      We had a neighbourhood Facebook group during COVID, where we all spoke about the building works in our new estate.

      One lady posted a video, asking if we should all be afraid of the new lamposts because the video claimed they were weapons transmitting evil 5G

        I wish there were a single curated feed of that kinda stuff that I could read through every day, because it’s hilarious.

          If you are in the US, sign up for your local Nextdooor. It’s as close as it gets to a curated feed of reactionary morons with too much time on their hands.

            It’s a shame too, because it would be nice to have a neighborhood chat with normal people. But nooo, all the crazies come out of the woodwork any time there’s an online group.
