Why are there so many conspiracies about 5G in particular, but not for preexisting cellphone networks?
In: Technology
Basically all new techs have some kind of conspiracy nutters (I’ve still got a non-gmo, anti-microwave aunt). Same thing happened with cell phones, and WiFi, and every tech that can’t be seen.
The only reason the 5G conspiracy is more common is that a significant portion of the US has recently taken a departure from reality. The formerly tiny corner of the internet that substitutes is own reality went from a fringe to now a significant portion. That means that more people with low passive critical thinking abilities are seeing hubbub about something they don’t understand…and only see the conspiracies instead of the scientists saying “it’s just non-visible light”.
