I had no idea that this was a fake conspiracy... (Maybe that says something about me and thinking people will believe anything these days)

I had heard of this movement, but I never knew it could actually be used to defuse other misinformation movements out there. Wild!

A lonely Gen-Z depressed teen, came up with 3 Words “Birds aren’t real” to join uninvited protest. Though the story behind these 3 words faded away, people used the phrase during other protests - that’s weird.

Really awesome and inspiring story to me! It’s so cool to hear a story about someone who has started a movement that actually runs quite deep but is so hilarious at the same time! I love it!

Fake conspiracies make fun of “real” conspiracies. What’s not to love?
