A thread to discuss the methods by which technology is controlled and used to control the public. Keep it real, unrealistic schizo-tier conspiracy theories or demoralization attempts will result in a deletion or ban (rules 2 and 3). If you shill for the existence of military space lasers, be prepared to explain how it would be powered and how it wouldn't melt during operation. I'll start with a relatively insignificant conspiracy, but one which came to mind regarding the push towards electrification. I suspect that one of the many reasons for the push is to make it harder to obtain the materials for obtaining explosives. >How is that? Car batteries use sulfuric acid, which is used to make nitrocellulose (a constituent of smokeless gunpowder) and nitroglycerin, and probably other explosives too. However, their low energy density makes them bad for electric vehicles. Lithium-ion batteries suck less and AFAIK cannot be used to make explosives (perhaps incendiary devices). This is perhaps one of the many reasons we are seeing a move away from gasoline (used to make napalm).
