The worst part is it's not just 'they'll kill whales, trust us', it's that they've cited a study in a journal to support their claim - but the journal says they have no record of the study being published or existing in the first place!
Obviously the deep state is suppressing the truth.
The deep sea state
This is literally how q anon got started.
It does make you wonder whether someone has cooked the argument up with a language model along the way, and it's just fabricated a citation as they are wont to do.
I don't think I've seen "wont to do" written out until now. Is that the spelling of wont?
It is indeed!
The definition of wont will help anyone who doesn’t understand: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/wont
To be clear, this is not the contraction of “will” and “not.”
Just like my highschool essays!
