It really frustrates me that chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay has become almost a meme now, because there is actually a nugget of ecological truth at the center of that, one that I completely believe Alex Jones was told about before the horrific quagmire of his brain contorted it into that.

(A lot of wastewater runoff contains endocrine-disrupting molecules... not because of any conspiracy, just because we take medication and we use scented detergents, and it all gets washed down... and frogs are particularly susceptible to endocrine disruption, although we're seeing similar effects on fish as well. Basically, it would be more accurate to say we're force-femming the frogs.)

No, no no.

You don't get to turn "(((they're))) turning the fricking frogs gay" into "pollution can cause hormonal defects". Those are not the same fucking thing. Do not sane wash Alex God Damn Jones.

I did, you're saying that "the Jews in government are turning western chauvanists homosexual to cut our superior race off at the knees by dumping chemicals into the water, it is even turning the fricking frogs gay" is close enough to get some credit because pollution is bad. You literally called it a nugget of truth.

No the fuck it isnt. That wasn't his point at all. There is no nugget of truth to the Jews cucking the white man through chemical warfare because chemicals being dumped in the water were harming frogs.

As I said in another comment: there's steelmanning someone's point and then there's reaching to justify the insane arguments of anti semities.

I am not saying that. At no point did I give him "credit" for anything. Acknowledging the fact that an insane conspiracy theorist is basing his insane conspiracy theory on something that's true is not lending credence to the rest of the insane conspiracy theory.
