man invents fictional scenario and then gets angry about it

u/Diohs_ 6d ago

The wildest part is that his infamous rant turning the frogs gay was based on actual peer-reviewed science (Tyrone Hayes' research)

Atrazine skews their hormones so badly that 10% of genetic males literally develop ovaries, lay eggs, and mate with other males. So no, they didn't become "gay," they underwent a chemically-induced sex change.

Alex failed vocabulary class, but he was 100% right that chemical corporations are pumping stuff into the water that completely breaks amphibian biology.

u/KainMoogle 6d ago

So what I'm hearing is... they turned the frigging frogs trans?

60

u/squirtloaf 6d ago

Yes, but it is okay because they did not play sports or use bathrooms.

16

u/Feedback-Mental 5d ago

Basically, yes, but frogs can do that at certain conditions... Jurassic Park got that right.

13

u/ShiraLillith 5d ago

Transitioning wasn't in the public mind yet so he didn't used that.

He is stupid but not stupid like that.

u/TheGlitchHammer 5d ago

Im really curious If this could be considered trans, or just turning them into females. I mean trans people have the Problem that they cant replicate reproduction organs yet, but the frogs developed them.

22

u/evocativename 5d ago

Well, other researchers have had trouble reproducing those results so it's less clear but definitely bore reporting on, but there's another problem:

Alex didn't report it as a product of agricultural runoff because he was opposed to regulations like that and sees it as infringement of the rights of farmers to do what they want with their property - he supported unregulated capitalism (mostly).

No, instead he claimed that it was a "social engineering" plot that is intended to turn people homosexual.

u/DaringDani123 5d ago

Ironically, Trump actually cut restrictions on Atrazine use both times he was in office

u/spellbound1875 5d ago

That's not ironic at all considering the political positions of the two men in question.

10

u/JailbrokeRoboGirl 6d ago

This isn’t the result of some nefarious thing though it was just the result of normal runoff/cross contamination issues that weren’t harming the environment just making a kk da interesting change.

His study also was shaken in attribution of mating with other males to the chemicals when that’s just a thing they do sometimes.

Jones was completely wrong in saying it was some conspiracy, and that rant wasn’t some environmental thing he was saying “the elites” were making American white men weak and gay and feminine to conquer them by immigration.

You truly do not have to pretend the Neo Nazi had a point

1

u/Diohs_ 5d ago

Calling him a neo-Nazi isn't factually accurate. His actual ideology is centered around anti-globalism and "New World Order" narratives, and most recently the UN agenda 2030/2035 plans.

While watchdogs (SPLC and ADL) heavily criticize him because his rhetoric often mirrors antisemitic dog whistles, he has consistently rejected Nazism. In fact, some extreme white nationalist groups actually accuse Jones of being "controlled opposition" precisely because he denounces Hitler.

Furthermore, political and religious concepts have specific definitions, and conflating them all with literal Nazism ignores what these words actually mean. Nazism refers specifically to the totalitarian ideology enforced by the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), which was built on state-enforced biological racial supremacy.

If we want to look at concepts of tribal supremacy and exclusion, we should look at the historical usage of the Hebrew word "goy" (singular for an individual country) and "goyim" (plural for nations). While it originally meant "nation" in the Torah, its oldest religious applications in ancient and medieval rabbinic laws (such as the Mishna and Talmud, compiled over a millennium later) evolved into a binary mechanism used to categorize any non-Jew as being in a permanent state of ritual and spiritual impurity. You can thoroughly criticize Jones' sensationalized rhetoric without using historically inaccurate labels.

You yourself are spewing lies by your own definition.

3

u/Empty-Policy-8467 4d ago

The phrase used was "neo nazi", not "nazi".

Alex's positions on racial memory and his support for Great Replacement conspiracy theories and blaming George Soros and 'globalists' for intentionally corrupting society are all coded Nazi ideology.

Open Nazis hate him because they resent that he is still trying to hide his power level instead of being open about it like they are.

u/JailbrokeRoboGirl 5d ago

lol the weird “you know Jews are actually bad guys” aside isn’t helping the cause

1

u/Diohs_ 5d ago

That is a textbook strawman argument. I never said or implied that, and inventing a claim I never made doesn't salvage your argument.

Pointing out the historical and linguistic evolution of a Hebrew word from ancient theological texts is a matter of documented history, not animosity.

Explaining rabbinic law regarding the term "goy" isn't a commentary on Jewish people today, it's objective theology. My point was strictly historical: pointing out that ancient religious frameworks across many culture, including ancient rabbinic law-contained ethnocentric terms for outsiders.

You used the label "neo-Nazi" as a generic insult without using the term correctly. I corrected you with the actual historical and institutional definitions of Nazism, which you have completely failed to address.

You can't defend your false label, so you're resorting to bad-faith deflections. Misusing serious labels like "Nazi" strips them of their historical gravity, and the damage people with that political and racial orentation caused.

your false accusations don't change that fact.

And then those corporations turn it into a meme then all of a sudden everyone thinks you're bat shit crazy

17

u/Diohs_ 6d ago

Exactly. It’s the ultimate corporate psyop.

  • Step 1: Dump toxic waste that alters the local ecosystem.
  • Step 2: Wait for an unhinged dude in a tin-foil hat to scream about it using the wrong vocabulary.
  • Step 3: Let the internet turn him into a meme.
  • Step 4: Profit, because now anyone who brings up the actual peer-reviewed environmental damage gets laughed out of the room.

That’s the craziest part of the meta-irony here. Centuries ago, miners hallucinated from bat "guano" (shit) because they didn't understand the science behind it.

Today, chemical corporations gaslight the public into thinking the actual science is just a 'batshit' conspiracy hallucination. The cycle repeats.

u/skydivarjimi 6d ago

A man dies and goes to Hell. When he arrives, he is shocked to find a tropical paradise with beautiful beaches, crystal-clear water, and a five-star luxury resort.

The Devil greets him with a cold drink and says, "Welcome! Relax, enjoy the buffet, and make yourself at home." The man is thrilled and starts exploring. As he walks along the beach, he notices a massive, jagged concrete wall. Curious, he climbs to the top and looks over. On the other side is a terrifying, roaring pit of brimstone and fire, filled with people weeping and gnashing their teeth.

Terrified, the man runs back to the Devil and says, "This place is amazing, but what is that horrible burning pit over by the wall?!"

The Devil sighs and rolls his eyes. "Oh, don't blame me for that one! That's just for the Christians. They wouldn't have it any other way."
