But I really wished they would have picked something else. There are tons of posters and "legitimate"-sounding text positing this theory, which very likely has led to people harming birds to "expose" the truth of mechanization
- samatman 6y agoThis is called, on Twitter, "making up a guy and then getting mad at that guy". Please don't.
- pcthrowaway 6y agoCan you elaborate on "the guy" I'm making up? Because the Birds Aren't Real movement is quite far-reaching; I've seen posters around Canadian and U.S. cities; their cult seems to extend throughout Canada and the U.S. at least. Their posters typically just say "Birds aren't real" with a link to the website - https://birdsarentreal.com/ https://birdsarentreal.com/ A cash grab no doubt (the merch is front-and-centre after all), but their claims are presented with the closest thing to a "straight face" one can muster online.
