Freep isn't fun when half the country is now just as crazy as Freep used to be.

I can no longer get joy out of laughing at the cretins when their beloved cretin President was elected and is actively destroying my country.

ok - genuine question

what percentage of flat-earthers do you think are either

1) just having fun with an intellectual challenge of "how far can I stretch this silly concept and be sort of consistent" or

2) flat-out shitposters trolling each other, each thinking that the others are gullible morons

The flat earth group I'm observing has 40k members, but only a handful post on a regular basis (maybe 20 people) , and most of them are just batshit crazy. I've looked at their public profiles where they're trying to educate the sheeple and seen some heartbreaking pleas from friends and family members.

So 20 active nutters. So in your mind, are the 40k member likely true believers or just people who like to watch train wrecks?

So what conspiracy did you fall for?

My spouse and I fell for the Chronic Lyme scam for a short while.

When you are facing a serious illness with no known cure, you are predisposed to believe the guy who tells you that those other doctors are all wrong and you have something else and he HAS the magic bullet cure for it and the medical establishment doesn't want you to know...

even though you really should know better and you would know better if you had the emotional ability to step back and be dispassionate and logical.

I'm just a lurker and I acknowledge that I have earned no frequent poster currency to criticize another, but I still want to say...

I have no doubt that what what Prester Jane is saying makes sense if it is carefully parsed down and chewed upon, but

I'd prefer this thread to be about Q-Anon and their wacky bullshit and maybe who is behind it and what can be done about it (if anything),

And not about PJ's ever developing PhD thesis on the narrativist structure of the escatology of the compaction cycles oh god please validate me and my special knowledge and insights and predictive ability and really don't I deserve tenure for this brilliance.

Because that is boring as gently caress and this is not the faculty lounge of the theology department at the University of Chicago.

Or use the ignore feature to make it so you don't have to read their posts and exist in blissful ignorance of PJ's posting. Because PJ's posts are thread relevant, easy to understand without much effort, and are better contributions than the endless whining about her posts.

PJ paid :10bux: like the rest of us, it's weird to try to tell her that she can't post here because you, personally, don't like the content. Especially when the ignore feature exists.

you can't just ignore her - the whole thread becomes about her, pro or con. Including you jumping in to defend her over and over.

If course she can post here, I just wish she would post... differently.

there are people trying to cling onto some shred of faith that the ruling class is fundamentally no different to the rest of us except for a few bad apples like jeffrey epstein, and that while perhaps a tad suspicious his death speaks more to the incompetence of institutional power than anything more sinister, and then there are people who have actually done the reading and are getting pretty tired of having to explain what these parasites are and how they maintain their grip on power via e.g fraud, murder, wars, exploitation of the lower classes and, yes, abusing and torturing children to reinforce their social bonds, maintain loyalty, and gain access to more wealth and more power.

Yes, the rich are horrible.

No, that does not mean that your favorite unsupported conspiracy theory is true. It MIGHT be true, it might not be true, it might be partially true, but jumping to conclusions at the outset because you prefer those conclusions is just as dumb as what other conspiracy theorists do.

Explaining to us again how horrible the rich are doesn't change that.

Posts like these are very telling.

Alt med poo poo is usually priced worse than fuckin' unconvered diabetes medication/insulin. People easily end up dumping thousands of bucks a month into it, and even single doses of stuff often costs more than real over the counter stuff.

the scam works because people with medical conditions that are not easily resolved become desperate for hope and grasp at any straw that promises them a shot at a good result

The entire "chronic lyme" voodoo medicine scam is based on this principle, and is milking large numbers of people out of their life savings

I'm still kind of haunted by a clip played on a recent Qanon Anonymous episode, where a recent Qanon convert livestreamed a high speed chase he got into with all of his kids loaded in his back seat. He kept pleading for Trump to help him, as if he was expecting a real time response. He was praying to Donald loving Trump.

I had a lot of fears after election night 2016, but I admit that I didn't see "a non-dismissable portion of the country will elevate Trump to a position of quasi-divinity" coming.

If you have a link to that I’d enjoy watching it

It's pretty likely that the worst stuff attested to Nero was :stdh: because that's just what happened when someone got couped for whatever reason. You either destroyed his name from history or made up as much poo poo about it as possible so no one could ever think he was good. And the big stuff he was hated for was raising taxes to spend money on the poor. He was still popular enough that a bunch of potential claimants to the throne after his suicide called themselves Nero II.

Wouldn't be surprising for Christians to hate him enough to go along with bad-mouthing him.

Also known as the Catherine the Great principle.

John Adams is on the far right. I think it's James Madison in the brown suit on the left. Billy Graham in profile on the right in the back. That great American patriot Robert E Lee of course. And maybe Calvin loving Coolidge in the middle, far back.

I don't know who the glasses guy is though, or the guy the the mustache to the left of him.

There was an old comic strip about cavemen called "B.C." and one strip had two of the cavemen on a raft headed for the edge of the earth to prove it was round. Finding it is beyond my googling but it went basically like this:

Caveman A: Well the sun is round...
Caveman B: Yeah...
Caveman A: And the moon is round...
Caveman B: ...Yeah...
(Caveman A turns the boat around)
Caveman A: You're right; three out of three is pushing it.

Unfortunately the guy who wrote and drew BC turned into a right wing chud late in life.
