My dad’s always been an anti-intellectual prick but now he’s a smug one having his worst impulses reinforced by assholes on the internet and his workplace.

No? UFOs signal exploratory thinking, which is not what right wing is
right wing is offended by anything that isn’t mayos
UFOs being occupied by aliens is an affront to mayos because it means there are more technologically advanced beings. This is why right wingers are increasingly anti–belief-in-aliens
this tendency has been going on for several years now, maybe even a decade
Look, I could’ve phrased it better because I recognize that there are some legitimate reasons to think alien life has reached earth. But the stuff I’m talking about is not “exploratory thinking” it’s flat earth tier stuff. As I said, videos of UFOs flying out of volcanos, urban myths about places on the Earth where gravity is backwards, that kind of thing.
Really?
Or they could pull an “Ancient Aliens” and just claim any other non-western civilization’s technological innovations are made by those Ancient Aliens (notice how it’s not really applied to western ones as much; this feels like how Hitler claimed his “own Aryan race” invented lots of these things in other lands)
yes. “project bluebeam” is way more popular now than it was 10 years ago
they do that too but only for ancient stuff
The rise in “okay UFOs might be real, but if they are, they’re actually demons, not aliens” has been wild to see.
yea the transition from “new age spirituality” to “new age christianity” is strong
