It would be very easy for an energy company to make hundreds of thousands of donations through "private supporters" to Greenpeace so as to cause problems for their competitors without liability, including defamation, and violent protests. They could be profiting by encouraging angry kids to go ruin their lives, and there would be no consequences for the executives behind it all. In fact, if this were actually happening, then in this story they would have just gotten back half of their marketing budget, which they can recycle for another violent campaign against this or any other competing energy company. And college kids around the world would help to supplement that marketing budget by donating to what they think is an environmental cause.

That's a hell of a cynnical conspiracy but then again, people like Jill Stein exist.

  This is funny. I didn't know who Jill Stein is, so I asked an LLM about how she is relevant. Instead of explaining how she might be involved in evil conspiracies, it thinks that Jill Stein is relevant because, "like a charged college kid," she was apparently at this Greenpeace protest! Hilarious.

    She ran for President in 2024. Where were you?

      I regularly can't remember who that one person is in that one movie either. I think part of being bad with names is that you don't actually care. That may offend some people, but hopefully less so if they consider that I think my name is just as unimportant as the next guy's.

  Mossad is trafficking children to billionaires for blackmail material, and it's just led directly to a war on Iran because the president of the US is in CSAM. No conspiracy is too cynical. If you can think of it, they can think of it.

  The Harvard educated doctor, magna cum laude, with a long history of fighting for a better America for all Americans. The Jewish lady who was smeared as a Russian agent because she was at a diplomatic dinner that Putin also attended. The woman who challenged election results in 2016, only for the response to be to make it harder to question election results (and that certainly never blew-back on all of us). The lady who was then put under Senate investigation for two years over the so-called collusion with Russia which turned up precisely zero evidence. Who put up the single best fight against two entrenched pro-genocide parties of anyone else in America's 350 million people. The 2024 candidate with the highest vote to campaign funds ratio of any candidate by a factor of about ten despite having a tiny fraction of the election coverage. What exactly are you saying the comparison is here? That Americans tend to cheer for the villains and boo the heroes just because the media tells them to?

Look at who Just Stop Oil is funded by and whether you think people like their actions.
