| Bandorr said: The poll question brings up Donald Trump being fake. How is that not 100% political? The whole thread is about politics of hurricanes. Why people would believe the hurricanes are fake are 100% tied to political views. Hurricanes are directly connected to climate change now. Climate change is very much a huge part of politics now. |
If you believe this thread should be moved to politics discussion, then please get a mod in here. Frankly, I don't care enough.

I'm saying there's a possibility that all this "Irma fake" thing was born indeed from a parody or a joke, and as Poe's law dictates, people eventually mistook it for the truth, because it didn't sound ironic or jokingly enough for said people. |
You do bring up a good point. In live stream chats all across YouTube of news coverage throughout the storm I noticed people jokingly calling everything fake, CGI, etc. It was obvious joking to me, but some people are extremely gullible and, well, stupid.
However, many of these videos were made well before or just before Irma even hit FL. These live streams weren't active at this point. This makes me wonder when Rush Limbaugh first started spewing his shit about the hurricane being false, some people truly follow that man's word.
