For whoever downvoted this, if it’s out of concern about our resident airborne cephalopod engaging in antisemitism, I believe that he’s poking fun at Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Back in 2018, before Marjorie Taylor Greene was a household name and a member of Congress, she took to Facebook to share a convoluted conspiracy theory. She suggested that a solar energy laser generator was being used by Pacific Gas and Electric, in collaboration with figures like Jerry Brown and Dianne Feinstein’s husband, to clear land in rural California for a $77 billion high-speed railway. She highlighted a connection between a board member of PG&E and Rothschild, Inc. The insinuation was clear to many: The Rothschilds, a historically wealthy Jewish family, were behind this nefarious plot.
By repeating their rhetoric, even as a joke, it’s just giving oxygen to people who don’t deserve any form of publicity whatsoever. It would be better not to reference these batshit-insane conspiracy theories and then perhaps they would die more quickly.
This story is about French/space/communications/technology. Not American/politics/racist/conspiracy. Not one genre overlap, so there’s no reason to even bring it up here. Maybe leave these jokes to the American politics threads.
Surely any rational individual already acknowledges that subject as lunacy. The segment of people that after seeing the joke would fall victim to the conspiracy is bound to be smaller than the segment that find it mildly amusing.
Someone tell Marjorie Taylor-Green! The French are in league with the Jews!

You believe correctly.
Kiss that mods ass.
It’s true. Anyone who kisses my ass by properly explaining what I meant gets an official “you believe correctly” from this moderator.

It’s about the one overlap that you missed out: frickin space lasers
The overlap is the “space lasers” part, and it’s a joke.
It was already made, and it’s over now, meaning you’re the one perpetuating this shift in focus, look at the responses you generated.
Let us have our fun.
