but everything causes cancer

@northern haste  
cell phones don’t cause cancer. this isn’t the 80s

You know, I think we need to add the “OP Is Trying To Start Shit” tag here.

I had to do a double take on this when I heard about it the first time.
 
I’m aware that people tend to get hysteria in dire times. But burning 5G towers because they “caused” the pandemic is stupid beyond any reason.

I don’t think 5g has something to do with the pandemic. It’s absolutely unbelievable that it could spread the virus.

My sister is buying into this conspiracy(She’s admittedly pretty prone to buying into these sort of things anyway).

People need to stop with this 5G nonsense. 5G only kills the brain cells of stupid technophobes. I will give you one clear fact and perfect example of 5G being not only completely safe, but a stark advance in technology. Look only to South Korea.

They have had 5G installed widespread and commercialized since April of last year. Over 5 million current subscribers. As for the CCP virus. Well South Korea along with Taiwan is leading the world in controlling this spread to a minimum. Least amount of deaths and confirmed cases. What more could you want?

Confirmed: Discord is an Alex Jones fan.

Oy vey… No wonder people are losing faith in humanity.
 
We should be united in this virus crisis, not killing each other.

@Beau Skunky  
I’d argue it’s gotten some degree worse, what with property destruction and possibly a fatality or two.

@FamusJamus  
@WyrmSpawN  
So this is basically just usual, “Halloween/D&D/Harry Potter are evil!” “Video games/The Joker movie are going to turn kids into mass-shooters!” and such overreactions/demonizations?

A modern day instance of mass hysteria.

There’s a neat podcast called Pessimists Archive which is literally about this over-and-over again.  
Teddy bears? Evil.  
Bicycles? Evil.  
Birthday parties? They’ll turn you into an entitled millennial two centuries early.

@northern haste  

 
They used to say the same thing about the first cellular phones…
 
@Kamazeustra  
I wish celebrities wouldn’t use their popularity statis to spread B.S. & half-truths…
 
@Background Pony #059A  

 
Truth… Heck, people used to be afraid lightbulbs & electricity would start fires when they were first invented, and would stick to candles, which were a bigger fire hazard…

@northern haste  
I do know the basis of what this is supposed to be about. I just felt like turning it around to another “unpopular” thing.  
Just a stupid joke to a stupid idea, is all.

This kind of nonsense has probably been going on since the first caveman made fire. Anything new is automatically bad, until years pass and hey, we’re not all dead.

@northern haste
 
It seems to be motivated by racism and is spread by social media, but there is a conspiracy theory online that 5G spreads the Coronavirus. It started out limited to causing arsons and the like in the U.K., but it’s quickly gaining traction in Australia and celebrities like John Cusack are starting to spread the myth in the U.S. now.

@Kamazeustra  
The fuck

That’s what the GOVERNMENT wants you to think!

@northern haste  
This particular conspiracy theory is that 5G towers spread the coronavirus.

Yeah. Imagine what will happen when they actually do turn the antennas on.

@Quint-t-W  
apparently there’s a conspiracy theory that the g5 phones are health hazards like they cause cancer
