i spoke to, in person, face to face, my 1st q anon delusional conspiracy theorist. it was ghastly.
the amount of kool aid peeps like her have drunk.
in 🇨🇦. in bc.
she was telling me about the tunnels of trafficked kids into our town. & she works for media so she knows things. & peeps who know things, 'disappear' when they tell the truth.
i was polite b/c i was on duty - work event. but omg. the level of stupid. it was like talking to a flat earther. fuck me.
@singlemaltgirl Was this in Nelson?
There are several towns in the BC interior where there have been protests against "15 minute cities". Two of them were in Nelson and Kamloops, which are already mostly 15 minute cities. #CoSoCanucks
@KamloopsBob @singlemaltgirl
I lived in Nelson and area for about a decade and I go back often to visit friends. It always feels to me kind of exceptionally prone to conspiracy bs. For example, otherwise ordinary-seeming people casually using the term “plandemic” 🙄
@heatherdale @KamloopsBob @singlemaltgirl I'm in Trail about 80km away from Nelson - sometimes it feels like that's not far enough 🤣
@NorthernInvader @KamloopsBob @singlemaltgirl
In my day in those parts (roughly throughout the 90s), Trail had its issues too.
I lived for 4 years in Castlegar which was a pretty neutral medium for me at the time. If you ignore the smell 😂.
When the Flu Trux Klan came through last year my friend in Castlegar was shocked at how many supporters they got in such a small town.
Was it also bad in Trail?
I know it was bad in Nelson. “Hippies” and “Rednecks” oddly united in that “cause” 😞
@heatherdale @KamloopsBob @singlemaltgirl I moved here in 2007 was in Rossland for the previous 10 years. Trail still has a homeless and drug problem.
@heatherdale @KamloopsBob @singlemaltgirl LOL my late wife lived in Salmo and when we were courting we could hear Shambala all the way in town :)
@NorthernInvader @KamloopsBob @singlemaltgirl
I love the West Kootenays and I have beautiful life-long friends there that are more like chosen family
Last summer I went to Shambala and camped for three days and literally danced all night
Through the course of the 10 days I was in the region, each friend took me to their own special swimming hole.
There’s good vegan food everywhere and peeps are generally friendly
So one can overlook the nutbar ratio 😀
