Lol. There are drones flying around and we don't know who they're from. But folk shoving their phones in the sky at every little thing and being like "Omfg! What is this?! Is it aliens?! Is it China?! Is it Iran!?" only for it to turn out to be your average plane, or a camera lens effect, is becoming mass hysteria. You have evidenced this multiple times with multiple debunked tweets that you have posted, ranging from camera lens effects, to birds flying, to a training scenario, to aircraft vapour.

My issue is with (and this issue happens very often with you specifically) people posting literally ANYTHING that they see, then expect everyone else to debunk it for them, now it's occasionally fine to be like "hey, what do you think this is?" but with you, I don't think you have ANY self control or take a single second to put any critical thinking into what you're posting or question anything, it's very obvious that you just pluck literally the first tweet that you see and don't put a single thought into "Is this credible or not?" and expect others to do the work for you and then we're debunking conspiracy after conspiracy.

I've not really got a problem with people questioning what these drones are doing, who is operating them, etc. I take issue when obvious nonsense is consistently posted and spread without a single thought behind it, earlier you complained that people were making jokes or attacking the sources, have you not considered why that is and if it may have something to do with the sources that you share?

Why do YOU think birds are flying around? Do you really think scenarios like "Birds know there's a nuke" or "Birds know Iran/Russia is flying drones" or "Birds know the aliens are here" actually sound logical at all? If not those then what? Is there a logical explanation other than simply, it's birds migrating and doing what birds do, Lol. Yes animals can sense natural disasters but none of these theories so far have been linked to "natural disasters" at all, it has all been made made theories or "aliens" Lol.

I think that LH just likes these conspiracy theories and is trying to talk about it.  You often see a lack of reason with these kinds of discussions but that's irrelevant because it's fun to do so.  

Idk. He complains that people are mocking or joking but he doesn't help himself by what he posts, Lol.

It's not even a conspiracy theory that there are drones flying around, unknown to the public, but the OP has a history of just posting anything he sees, it's clear they have zero desire to fact check stuff before posting and leave it for everyone else to do the work for them, it's frustrating for those who want to have an actual proper discussion on something when the conspiracy theories then start flying around and every single thing is posted and now everyone is instead focused on debunking every little thing.

Like...Birds...Flying...Lol.

I wasn't even one of the ones who mocked him or joked about it before he made that comment but I feel like I should point out why I believe it happens with him. Personally as well, some conspiracy theories are fun to laugh at and entertain but they often delve into something more over time, and is it really useful to discussing something seriously when there's conspiracy theories flying around everywhere?

Is this a serious discussion or not? If it is a serious discussion then you have to be more careful about what you post.

People will continue to attack the news sources that he uses or make jokes about the situation as long as he continues to use poor quality news sources and doesn't put thought into what he is posting and can you really blame them? I mean that Twitter user has the handle "BillGatesIsAPsycho" C'mon man, Lmao. Nobody will take it seriously and they'd be justified in not doing so.

He can take that onboard or not, if not then don't complain when people come into the thread and mock it, Lol.
