I’m still a firm believer in some cryptids, UFO encounters, and JEFFREY EPSTEIN DIDN’T KILL HIMSELF

    I don't think they mean to suggest, for example, that Area 51 flat-out doesn't exist. I think the meaning of "Area 51" in this context is something to the effect of "Area 51 houses alien tech the government has been hiding from us since the 1950s and who knows what other fantastical stuff."

        I've seen the video as well, and it really breaks down "we have questions" a lot more clearly. Like, if I meet someone who holds opinions on those things, but manage not to tie them to something in the top tier, I'm not concerned. But if they go from "Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself" to "because the Jooo mafia did it at Hillary Clinton's orders" I'm gonna move along.

        And the middle tier feels like it could just be somewhere in a circle off to the side, like "harmless lunacy to spice up your life with".

            the caption thing for part 7, "a small group of elites rule the world and hurt children for fun" is kinda real though, the ultra-rich have "world leaders" dancing to their tune, and most of them are literal child molesters
            bit weird that this is catching downbears on a communist website, but ok

                fair point, but it always pisses me off when you say "the rich are exploiting everyone and are responsible for most of the evil in the world" and the immediate response is "why do you hate the Jews?" as if those things are in any way related

                Yes, she's lib poisoned, and the videos quite painful, because she switches styles between the different parts and in the last one she seems to have added a fifth one that she never mentioned before. This is still kind of nice. First time I've seen someone support my long held belief that flat-earth people aren't insane in and of themselves, but have caught a lot of real lies from people in power and just sort of drifted towards "it's all lies". It doesn't make sense to anyone with a framework, but imagine discovering all the lies without even having a concept of class or the idea that maybe the money is being taken by the people that have all the money. If you discover that they lie about EVERYTHING while still being immersed in the propaganda that we grow up with, of course you'll believe that they lied about the shape of the earth. You have no WHY to their lies.

                    I've heard of it before, but never watched it. I'll just stop myself from watching it right now, because I have work tomorrow and it's getting late where I am, but I think I'll probably check it out tomorrow.
