Popstar M.I.A went viral on social media Wednesday after tweeting out a storm of content related to Alex Jones, Big Pharma, celebrities pushing the COVID-19 vaccine, nuclear war and WMDs.

It happens to the best of us when we feel like we’re living in a crazy world full of idiots. We turn to Twitter and word-vomit our emotions for the world to see. M.I.A did just that on Wednesday.

“If Alex jones pays for lying shouldn’t every celebrity pushing vaccines pay too?” she asked her more than 600,000 followers. The tweet quickly caught fire, with more than 111,000 people liking her proposal. But she wasn’t just done there…

“Alex jones lying and Pfizer lying both trending . One with penalty other without.  If you have no critical thinking faculty, this is about as crazy as we should get before a nuclear war wipe out the human race,” she continued in another tweet, posting a screenshot of her Twitter search featuring both Jones and a Reuters “fact check.”

Hours later, she simply tweeted “WMDs,” which stands for “weapons of mass destruction.” WMDs are those things that weren’t in Iraq when former President George W. Bush commenced a failed military intervention on the nation following the 9/11 attacks of 2001.

“2008 financial crash,” M.I.A continued. It’s unclear what this tweet meant, but anyone with critical thinking faculty probably believes it has something to do with the fact that not a single person responsible for destroying the American economy was held accountable following the 2008 global financial crisis. Of course, I could be wrong about this.

In her final tweet, M.I.A argued that “I might be the first cancelled twitter user back in 2010 for saying ‘connected to the google connected to the government[.’] they forget I got different kinds of receipts.” (RELATED: From Protests To Assassinations, International Chaos Reaches Fever Pitch)

I was a pretty big fan of M.I.A after “Paper Planes” first dropped in 2008. It’s still arguably one of the most iconic anthems of this century. Knowing that she’s this anti-establishment only makes me love her more, even if we have different opinions on somethings.
