That does sound plausible. I do remember reading about the reddit bot check thing that proved that site was majority bots, but do you happen to have a source on the 1:20 poster-to-bot ratio in flat earth discussion? Not doubting, just want to read more about it.@Certified_Autist quote is broken but I can give you a bit more insight on the flat earth conspiracy. On reddit someone created a automatic bot check by checking the response times of PM's. A bot would always respond within a few seconds vs minutes to hours of a real person.
One of the things that was caught in this was Flat Earth, for every legitimate poster there were like 20 bots shilling support. If that level of shilling was on reddit its most likely the same on other platforms, meaning the movement's support is artificial.
My theory is its today's well poisoning, our government or someone on behalf of it is supporting the conspiracy so they can do this shit: "Oh pedophiles in the government? You sound just like those stupid flat earthers!"
I don't off hand, if its still on the site r/conspiracy was the place where the results were posted in. That would be the first place to look assuming that subreddit even exists still.That does sound plausible.

I've come to unironically believe this sentiment, which earns me no favors with either atheists or religious people. Speaking only about Abrahamic religions to simplify this argument, its generally accepted on the part of religious institutions that all other faiths are either mistaken in some way or worse creations of the Devil. But viewed from the outside, it seems ludicrous that 99% of religions would be false except for the one being proposed; there's no guarantee that one is any more reliable, other than the faith of whoever you happen to be talking to. And of course, everyone believes theirs is the real one, which to me is just the death knell for being able to take any of them seriously.If you were to consider the passage of time, fallibility of people, and stories like the Tower of Babel you can even abstract this argument further to encompass all major religions. You cannot find an uncorrupted religious institution. Perhaps recognizing this, fighting it, and overcoming it is the overarching metaphysical struggle?
The first millennium AD does seem kind of rushed, so you may be onto something there...Fek said:A minimum of one thousand years have been added falsely to our A.D. timeline.
I'll try to be brief while hitting the major points. This isn't going to be a fun happy topic (at first).What do you believe about the future and any end of the world?
Events took place very, very rapidly since Christ's death through to the present. We are given a timeline that puts events, technology, etc, so very far apart as to reinforce this notion that humanity is nothing but a bunch of dumb-dumb apes that could barely handle scratching their own asses. In fact, it's a pillar of how our minds are shaped from a very young age:The first millennium AD does seem kind of rushed, so you may be onto something there...
Trying to hide an entire continent would be an exercise in futility. Continents are gigantic masses of lands that effect a lot of stuff, such as ocean currents and the jet stream, just by there being huge masses of land there. It'd be a pretty obvious effect. Plus editing it out of every picture of the earth taken from space would be really tedious. Plus ancient explorers would've seen it and written about it.I literally explained why, twice. Because normally nobody has a reason to fly a plane off the charted route, or to send up a high altiude camera. But if they start researching flat earth and become curious, they may do those things, which will lead them to possibly discover the lands they don't want to be found.
And like I said twice already, I don't 100% believe that but it is a possibilty. Also you need to learn to read.
As far as my understanding thus far goes? It seems to me that the Kingdom of Heaven is brought onto the Earth and we live on through Christ. Does that mean reincarnation into a new age of humanity as we are intended to be? Does that mean the Earth as we perceive it falls away from our senses and we are brought or..uplifted?..to Heaven upon death? I really don't know for certain, but I intend on investigating further and hopefully come out with a more well rounded picture.What do you think the afterlife is like? If you believe in hell or reincarnation, how do you believe such are avoided?
The following are merely things to think on and not in any way meant as adversarial.<Lots of stuff.>
I used to think that, as well. Ever take a really close look at Antarctica via something like google earth? It's the same idea in reverse: they created something that isn't there in the way it's shown. The parasites know full well and flaunt it in many logos associated with globohomo (The United Nations is the easiest one to find).Trying to hide an entire continent would be an exercise in futility
Yeah, I encountered the same issue here. Have a close look at the north pole.Plus editing it out of every picture of the earth taken from space would be really tedious.
I am sorry to say, my friend, that it has been seen and written about yet suppressed. We have had so much knowledge lost to the fires of those who would keep it from us across the centuries. But I'm not going to just schizopost about it. Here's an actual example from fairly recently:Plus ancient explorers would've seen it and written about it.
If you want to avoid having an existential meltdown, don't research flight paths (or flight in general) too much. Especially if you're hung up on the Earth spinning around at thousands of miles per hour.Not to mention that even though most airplanes take standard routes, not all of them do.
This is the first time I'm hearing of this "pre-1800s mud flood" conspiracy. It sounds crazier than most but my curiosity is getting the better of me and I'm genuinely intrigued. What exactly are the details and basis for this conspiracy? I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm genuinely interested and want to know what inspired it.Fek said:This old civlization was wiped out coinciding with a massive "mud flood" that took place somewhere just prior to the 1800s.
I think a more accurate statement would be that a demonic spirit tainted pre-schism Christianity. It exists in the Eastern Orthodoxy as well as the Roman Catholic Church. Given the Protestant's origin and nature, similar evil making its way into institutions is inevitable. There's actually a fair argument to be made that a large part of the salvation offered from Christ is rescue from the contemporary Jewish institutions that had perverted the religion already.
If you were to consider the passage of time, fallibility of people, and stories like the Tower of Babel you can even abstract this argument further to encompass all major religions. You cannot find an uncorrupted religious institution. Perhaps recognizing this, fighting it, and overcoming it is the overarching metaphysical struggle?
Flat Earth is used to discredit conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theories have left behind ancient tech and aliens to focus on modern theories because they were too close to the truth. R/conspiracy was invaded by Trumpers at the end of '15 and became r/the_donald before the donald. Not at all suspicious.
Is anyone talking about ancient tech, lost civilisations, the pyramids of Mars. JFk assassination or even 9/11 anymore? Either not at all or very infrequently. Which is strange in itself as we have more evidence or information on most of these theories compared to 10 years ago. Hell, even Ancient Aliens, a widely broadcast tv show, is talking about things that would make a 90's conspiracy theoriest jizz in their pants. But what's the modern day reaction? "Ancient aliens is dumb". Go to youtube and see first hand accounts and video recordings exploring the pyramids and the sphinx. New areas opened up that weren't viewable 10+ years ago. 100 ton stone sarcophogi, deep underground, dating back thousands of years. Is anybody screaming "what the fuck?!?!", no. We're more worried about one country and their possibly fraudulent election.
THAT is the modern day conspiracy theory. Information that people would have risked jail, and maybe their lives, for in the 90s, is now there for everyone with internet access to see, and nobody gives a shit. Madness.
One poster in the Wuhan Megathread posted "The difference between conspiracy and fact is about 6 months", which while true, is terrifying at the same time. If modern conspiracy theories are only a short time away from being proven correct, then it stands to reason that most modern conspiracy theories are soft-disclosure. Regardless of your views on COVID, one thing is for sure; the conspiracy theories all turn out to be true from day 1. From multiple jabs to travel restrictions, we've seen it all come true.
Idk, I'm inclined to think not, since there's a lot of anti-China stuff like the free Tibet/Hong Kong movements, Falun Gong, Adrian Zenz and his craziness about the Uyghurs etc. that gets included in all these movements on the rare occasion the wokes make any actual demands. That, and Chinese third person pronouns all sound the same (tā) so they don't give a fuck about it and make fun of western "leftists" as báizŭo.I sort of agree. But I think it's Chinese intelligence and not the CIA. Think about who all of those companies have business deals with. Think about how many Chinese students have flowed into western universities in the last few decades. Modern Chinese style communism is very mercantile. They are not rigid idealists like the Soviets were. To them socialism is about social control, not woke utopian virtue signaling. They are not the old economic socialists. As long as you swear allegiance to the party and do what you are told you can make as much money as you want.
China is more like North Korea with a functional economy than they are the Soviets.
Based on ex-kgb (Yuri Bezmenov) lectures on cultural subversion, I perceive this cultural marxist stuff mainly as a natural progression of propaganda used to undermine nations. CIA probably does have agents in all political groups though, to try and steer organizations towards their own interests as much as possible.I believe the woke, progressive "leftism" movement is supported by the CIA and corporations to undermine actual left-wing movements and working class organising.
Look at where it comes from. It started with postmodern academics and corporations, and was then pushed to students, and then the wider population. It isn't something that grew from the working classes.
Talking of academia, look at what student politics used to be like: campaigning against wars, for workers' rights, against unemployment, against debt; actual tangible demands. Now all their organising power and energy is directed into bullshit discourse about pronouns.
This is a classic example of how it all works in practice.
Look at these "socialists". The first speaker barely gets to say anything before she's interrupted by a load of people whining about completely irrelevant shit. They get nothing done.
Compare that to socialist meetings in the 60s, in socialist countries, or even to some trade union meetings in the west today. It's a joke. That is entirely by design. I don't know if the guys shouting down the speakers are glowies themselves, but they don't all have to be, they've been conditioned enough by the ones that are (perhaps their lecturers or from the media) that they're doing their work for them.
Now you get hypercapitalist entities like Coca-Cola, G-SIBs and arms companies getting loads of praise from "the left" for useless symbolic bullshit like putting non-binary folx in an advert. The most egregious example I've seen recently was a "huge win for antiracism" which was Uncle Ben's removing the picture of the black house slave from their packaging. The "left" was satisfied with this, while actual antiracists and workers' organisations pointed out that the parent company, Mars, still uses African slaves - child slaves, even - in its supply chain. Footballers all taking a knee for BLM while hundreds of slaves have died in the building of the world cup stadium in Qatar.
This stuff works much better than McCarthyism did, because instead of persecuting activists, it distracts them with bullshit so that they still believe they're left-wing activists, while they're really just wasting their time and reinforcing the status quo, they don't even know it. The best bit is they'll even oppose actual working class movements because they're not up to speed with all their ever-changing woke shibboleths (on account of the fact they're busy, y'know, working, and don't have time to read Twitter all day).
We know the CIA funded postmodernism during the Cold War. So why wouldn't they still be doing it?
