Comment on PROOF

  Fyi, “chem trails”, or “cloud seeding”, as it’s actually called, is very much real. When you search by it’s real name, you’ll find programs going back to the 60s. California, for example.

  MANY conspiracy theories are based on a shred of truth. UFOs are mostly classified craft(the Blackbird was one, once known as the UFO “Aurora”).

  Flat Earth was just a group that liked to jokingly entertain crazy ideas for shits and giggles that got coopted by people who took the satire seriously.

  We’d do ourselves a great service if we stopped seeing every issue in broad strokes and saw the nuance and context behind it. You’re no better with your rant broadly denouncing a wide array of topics.

    Most people are talking about contrails, and I’ve been told that they’re full of boron as a means of population control, that it’s a new thing because “I don’t remember planes doing that when I was younger.” Cloud seeding is in the news a decent amount here and it’s definitely considered different from the contrails that most every plane leaves.

    What’s your shred of truth behind reptilians?

      Oh, well that one’s just true. The only falsehood is that the lizard people are evil. They’re actually great and epic, and it’s the humans who are bad.

      Reptilians: Notice I didn’t list that one? And how I said “most”? Thank you for demonstrating the lack of reading comprehension and context I was specifically pointing out. May others look at your comment as a perfect example of being dense and obtuse.

        Ahh, you’re nothing but a contrarian troll. Hope your life and mental health improve so you don’t keep doing… this.

        It appears that you’re in a lot of pain. I’m truly sorry.

  There’s a lot that actually believe the earth is flat. A disturbing amount of people have seriously tried to convince me of it.

  And who are these people? And who are you? When did this happen?

  I still believe that flat earthers are a group of trolls being paid by some corporation or something to just clutter up online spaces with as much bullshit as possible to make people talking about real conspiracies that are actually happening look like lunatics.

  “What? you think there weren’t any WMDs in Iraq? Do you think the earth is flat too?”

    So you’re implying a conspiracy theory about a conspiracy theory.

    First person I remember trying to convince me was about a decade ago, and there’s been plenty of others since then. All of them conservative and believing in a mix of other popular conspiracies from 5g control, to bigfoot, to reptilians controlling the planet. These are physical people in my life that not only believe, but passionately defend their theories. I really don’t think they’re getting paid by a corporation to tell me about the flat earth.

    It’s weird that they all lean right though.
