One of the more far-fetched rumors is that Helene was an engineered storm to allow corporations to mine regional lithium deposits. Others accuse the administration of President Joe Biden of using federal disaster funds to help migrants in the country illegally, or suggest officials are deliberately abandoning bodies in the cleanup.

    When people are treated as horrifically as the victims of Helene, I think there’s a natural desire to try to find some rational way to integrate that into their worldview that’s as big and drastic as the feelings they experience from their abandonment by the government, which cares more about Ukraine and Israel than them.

    The real answer is simple: The government doesn’t give a shit about them, but that’s not drastic enough to meet them where they feel, so they turn to this.

      Last I checked there were thousands of federal agents in the area and multiple mayors and governors were saying that FEMA was doing a great job. You seem to care more about spreading lies and creating division than the truth. Be better.
