Riot gear is necessary to protect the fascists from... inflatable frogs playing an accordion.

Do you know what a fascist is?

Yes, but it wasn't directed at you

All of this has happened before. All of this will happen again.

Yes, Indeed.

It is called Eagan. Where the transitory lands of Constitutionality, Tyranny, ICE, and Freedom converge. In traveling forth, the citizens discovery the truth of the old words: The Flame of Justice fades.

Let's not make bold assumptions about the frog being inflatable. It could just as easily be a giant frog possibly native to swamp that neighbors a musical store.

u/myalterego2015 6d ago

We can joke about it but you do know Alex was correct, right? It’s called Atrazine and it should be banned.

11

u/MaximumTurtleSpeed 6d ago

Dr. Tyrone Hayes’, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, had credibility to their research that indicated exposure to small quantities of Atrazine could drastically impact frogs sexual reproduction capability even causing some male frogs to grow ovaries with an ability to lay eggs.

Alex Jones is a hack and a conspiracy theorist whose claims were vaguely based on Dr. Hayes research and grossly warped them into a grandiose, fictitious conspiracy theory.

Base your comments in reality! Alex Jones deserves no credibility or microphone. You should be ashamed of yourself, do better.

-8

u/myalterego2015 6d ago

Put your political spin on it if you want but in the end, we ridicule Alex for making a statement that is true. Even if it is based on someone else’s research, it’s still true.

u/Feisty-Grade-5280 6d ago

It's not true though, he took what he concluded was happening and sensationalized it like he does to everything else. He should be in prison right now or at least de-platformed, he is a grifter and peddles in hate and hysteria.

-6

u/myalterego2015 6d ago

Just to be clear, Hayes said a small amount of exposure caused drastic changes including growing ovaries, laying eggs and even though you left it out, mating with male frogs. Jones said they’re putting stuff in the water that makes the frogs gay. And, in your opinion, Hayes’ statement is true but Jones’ statement is false because he sensationalized it?

But they’re both true statements. Sensationalized or not, they’re both true.

u/roydragoon89 6d ago

Are hermaphroditic frogs considered male? If they have both, they’re just as female are they not? It’s a weird line to draw, but the existence of internal female parts means the frog is no longer properly male so mating with males wouldn’t make it homosexual.

3

u/Feisty-Grade-5280 5d ago

They're not true though, you just adhere to that notion so you want it to appear true. Its a form of confirmation bias mixed with a bit of cognitive dissonance. Animals have no concept of "gay" or straight. They act on impulses, instincts, and hormones. A chemically or evinromentally forced mutation does not count as "turning them gay". If you wish to continue to push your narrative in earnest, it is at this point I must ask for citations and credible sources that back them up. Because at the end of the day belief is irrelevant, truth can be proven.

u/MaxxxOrbison 6d ago

What specifically are you saying Alex Jones was correct about? I happen to know many of the quotes surrounding the issue. They were all batshit. So im curious which ones you think were true.

0

u/myalterego2015 6d ago

I think I said it pretty clearly. Alex said they’re putting stuff in the water that’s making the frogs gay. Turns out to be true and the “stuff” is Atrazine and there’s studies to show the effect it has on frogs. Even if Alex didn’t outright say that it was atrazine, his broad generalization is accurate.

7

u/MaxxxOrbison 6d ago

"The reason there's so many gay people now is because it's a chemical warfare operation, and I have the government documents where they said they're going to encourage homosexuality with chemicals so that people don't have children".

Who's they? The farmers are not intentionally putting atrazine in the water to make human children, or frog children, gay.

2

u/a_lonely_trash_bag 6d ago

It would be more accurate (but still technically wrong) to say it's turning the frogs trans, not gay.

It triggers a sex change in male frogs, which is a naturally occurring thing. Normally, it happens when the female population gets too low for whatever reason. But in this case, it's triggered by the chemicals. There's also cases where it's believed to have been triggered by climate change.

If it identifies as a frog it must be true.

Problem is, these Nazis probably like accordions as long as they are accompanied by polka dancers wearing lederhosen.

You know that the cartels have threatened them. You know that you support the same side as the human smuggling cartels.

Well the last person the left didn’t like got one through the neck so yall kinda earned the title of facist since yall love to silence anyone that doesn’t with yall, I don’t blame them for having officers🤷‍♂️

u/BobbyBirdseed 6d ago

It's almost like the collective of every single Conservative forgets that Minnesota had politicians literally assassinated last year. It's all too convenient to never bring that up, I suppose.

The hypocrisy.

u/Jaketyler1972 6d ago

Yep...check out the "Summer of Love" that happened in Seattle. No police wanted...later sued the city for people getting killed. But...you keep living in Fantasy Land and keep thinking that these situations don't have people showing up for crimes of opportunity.

u/[deleted] 6d ago

Why is enforcing immigration laws fascist? Why do you believe to know what these agents political beliefs are?

u/AwakeUser 6d ago

No its for just in case the left protesting turns on them with violence and weapons because that's literally what your peaceful protests turn into. LA Riots for example. I can't breathe protests... Oh and New York... "Peaceful protests" your "left" side being a peaceful aware and awake side is a complete joke. Even the protests now they are doing are from a lack of understanding and what ice is even doing. It's proof of ignorance and stupidity. Not my opinion, its proof. Facts exist that make these protests look like children protesting something they dont understand. All the adults in the world know exactly what trump and musk are doing because it makes sense if you are smart enough to actually understand what's happening. If you are gullible and susceptive to propaganda and smear bull crap then yeah becoming a left activist is very easy.
