What does everyone think of 5G?

What do you all think of 5G?

I've heard so much about it but don't quite get it. I have so many questions.
Is it safe, does it cause cancer, is the lockdown to place 5G satellites everywhere,

Why do they want to depopulate? It doesn’t enhance their ability to make money. Capitalism needs workers and consumers to function.
Why on earth would they want children they need to support?

Think about it. It doesn’t stack up.

I don't know what 4G is/does let alone 5G

midgebabe · 08/04/2020 18:22

G stands for generation
Simplification
1G analog, can just make phone calls
2G you can send text messages
3G you get basic internet
4G better internet
5G faster bandwidths lower delays

mindproject · 08/04/2020 18:22

Depopulation is just one possible theory. Maybe they don't need as many people now because technology is doing a lot of the jobs that human beings once did. Maybe the elites are fed up of all the traffic or pollution. There are a number of elite paedophiles in the world, it makes sense to get rid of their parents.

A lot of things do stack up.

@thepeopleversuswork

Have you never heard of the depopulation agenda? Then I assume you have never heard of the Georgia Guidestones. Who put them there? Why? Who knows! But they really are there. Check it out... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones

Spongebobette · 08/04/2020 18:28

‘They’

🤣

midgebabe · 08/04/2020 18:30

Has everyone name changed recently, "they" will be watching

Gilead · 08/04/2020 18:30

Wake an odd religious sect paid for them and put them there. They didn’t just appear. Hmm

RuffleCrow · 08/04/2020 18:32

How does 5g differ from all the other gs?

WakeAndBake · 08/04/2020 18:40

@Gilead

You sure about that?

“”In June 1979, a man using the pseudonym Robert C. Christian approached the Elberton Granite Finishing Company on behalf of "a small group of loyal Americans", and commissioned the structure. Christian explained that the stones would function as a compass, calendar, and clock, and should be capable of withstanding catastrophic events. Joe Fendley of Elberton Granite assumed that Christian was "a nut" and attempted to discourage him by giving a quote several times higher than any project the company had taken, explaining that the guidestones would require additional tools and consultants. Christian accepted the quote.[2] When arranging payment, Christian explained that he represented a group which had been planning the guidestones for 20 years, and which intended to remain anonymous.[2]””

A religious cult? How do you know that? They must have been minted to afford it.

Perhaps it was a secretive cabal of the ultra-wealthy elite? As has been mentioned before psycho/sociopaths are massively over represented in the top echelons of society and don’t think the same way as normal people.

Rebelwithallthecause · 08/04/2020 18:44

‘They’ or these elites you talk of - should they wish to depopulate do you think doing it in this way would be of any benefit to them?

For a start - if 5g is behind it, then all the leaders of the world would be as affected as anyone else unless they live wearing tin foil hats and suits forever more.
Secondly - depopulation generally would make the rich less rich.
It is likely to affect them and their families negatively.

@WakeAndBake

You do realise wiki does not equal research, right? It is renouned for spreading misinformation and being full of inaccuracies.

esjee · 08/04/2020 18:55

The more people engage with the posters spouting this nonsense, the more opportunity they have to parrot their dangerous thinking where people vulnerable to CTs could read it. Ignoring people who say insane things is the far better option. Tbh mumsnet should be moderating these posts and deleting conspiracy theories. They're harmful.

mindproject · 08/04/2020 19:00

In Nazi Germany, were the people who tried to speak out about what the Nazis were doing, were they dangerous too?

We should not be moderating free speech, especially right now.

WakeAndBake · 08/04/2020 19:07

@ftequency You do realise wiki does not equal research, right? It is renouned for spreading misinformation and being full of inaccuracies.

I do indeed, but those two particular articles I linked to have plenty of references and the information can easily be found elsewhere. Do you have any rebuttals (with non-wiki links obvs)

ocarinan · 08/04/2020 19:08

The Nazis sending dissenters to concentration camps is not the same as conspiracy quacks being told that they are conspiracy quacks on an internet forum ffs.

GCAcademic · 08/04/2020 19:12

In Nazi Germany, were the people who tried to speak out about what the Nazis were doing, were they dangerous too?

You do realise that for an analogy to work, the two situations have to be vaguely comparable, right?

CousinKrispy · 08/04/2020 19:27

We have responsibilities to use our freedoms in ways that do not cause harms to others. I understand and believe in free speech perfectly well, including the fact that every society with free speech includes reasonable limits on speech, such as not shouting "fire!" In a crowded thatre for a lark and causing panic, or committing slander/libel. These limits can and should be debated, but it's nonsense to state that a rejection of any and all limits is necessary in order to have "free speech."

As I've stated, and others have pointed out, there are several very concrete harms that can come from spreading conspiracy theories and treating them as equivalent to reasoned, evidenced debate. I don't think you've addressed any of those harms yet, or whether there's any proof that the societal good of spreading stuff from youtubing theorists outweighs those harms.

oralengineer · 08/04/2020 19:28

The internet is full of the hard of thinking, the terminally stupid and the worryingly weird.
There will always be people willing to absorb bullshit and regurgitate it without using at least one brain cell to process the bullshit critically.

Lonelycrab · 08/04/2020 19:41

@CousinKrispy very well put, exactly my thoughts.

ACertainSupermarket · 08/04/2020 19:52

Really don't get why people look for conspiracy theories. They make far less sense than the actual reason. Read up on them and you definitely get sucked down a rabbit hole. Until you shake your head and come back to reality.

RuffleCrow · 08/04/2020 20:04

I do think it's interesting that we've had Trump, Boris, Brexit and the general war on truth, (including the insidious genderist agenda that has quite clear child abuse implications and paedophilia links, and now this. It's like they were softening us up.

Rebelwithallthecause · 08/04/2020 20:49

The problem with the current ‘elite’ theory and trying to cull the top peadophiles is that they believe Trump is the one heading it up.
But he is an idiotic baffoon that also thought COVID-19 was ‘fake news’ and is now backtracking as his country struggle with it and die

Rebelwithallthecause · 08/04/2020 20:52

Be careful esjee- I said on a previous CT thread last week that I considered them dangerous and spreading harmful untruths and I was told by apparent non-nutter MN’s that I was wrong to think they were at all dangerous.

Yes many of them are possibly just jokers with too much time on their hands, but they are a danger to anyone who wants something alternative to believe in

Rebelwithallthecause · 08/04/2020 20:53

Also - no one should be quoting anything on Wikipedia as reliable source seeing as any one of us can edit any text on there
