You have been wrong over and over the past several years with your beliefs and predictions yet you keep on holding onto hope.
Again, wrong on timing and wrong on substance are worlds apart. I will gladly be wrong on the timing, if it means being correct on substance.
Speaking of taking thing you read on the internet and running with it as fact... that's precisely what you did with your laundry list of perceived conspiracy theories. It reads like a BlueAnon Greatest Hits where they pick the most sensational fringe discussion or most remote, improbable interpretation of what's discussed among strangers on the internet and conflate it as a comprehensive set of beliefs shared by millions.
Your fixation on #MuhFailedPredictions says infinitely more about you than it does any one of us. Enjoy the rest of October.

"I'm sorry that I was so close-minded and shut down your speech every time you attempted to ask thought-provoking and valid questions and further yet, resorted to attacks on your character with insults. In hindsight, I was being an arse and a stupid NPC who just followed the path of least resistance to go along with the mainstream crowd - to be quite frank, I've lost the ability to think critically and have become rather lazy.
It just felt 'good' to jump on the bandwagon because I felt like I belonged and simply succumbed to my carnal tribalistic tendencies and was making a difference by standing in the streets kicking around the bible and mocking abortion procedures in public and labeling anyone who questioned the mainstream narrative as a complete loon. Now I realize my folly and how crazy I've become.
I realize that it's okay to ask questions because that is how we arrive at the truth. How can we get more people to turn towards the light and wake up from the slumber that is plaguing our current society?
I was blind but now I see. Also, Alex Jones and David Icke have been right all along for the most part."

We’re you wrong on substance about the documentary you claimed Anthony Bourdain , Chris Cornell etc we’re working on?

That appears to be the case, but by all appearances you're so desperate for what you perceive to be a major win, so I'm going to agree with you so you don't hurt yourself.

A list of Biden’s lies? I thought we were discussing conspiracy theories?

No way man. The only people who believe crazy ‘conspiracy theories’ are the ones who voted for Trump

Technically what is a “conspiracy theory” if proven so?
Posted on 10/6/22 at 9:08 am to CleverUserName
I wouldn’t quite equate a politician lying with something like people believing there is video of Hillary Clinton torturing a young girl, cutting off her face and wearing it as a mask.
Posted on 10/6/22 at 9:09 am to mouton
One of the funnier things is most of the conspiracy theories they think came true really haven't
They just believe that they have

They are both lies.
If I say my toner is out in my printer and also I have magical holy water in the fridge, they are both simple lies.
Just one inconveniences you when you thought you were on a roll with gotchas.

Do you honestly think they are comparable in absurdity?

When one is national….. and the other is simply on a message board.. that factors in to the scale of absurdity.
Do you think Biden claiming to have stood up to an individual named Corn pop on national TV or a message board of a few hundred regulars claiming aliens came down and gave us the internet is more of a factor in national operations?

Are you denying there is a significant portion of the conservative base that is obsessed with and believes many of the crazy conspiracy theories I mentioned?
Posted on 10/6/22 at 9:27 am to FlexDawg
I still know people who believe that trump is a super secret Russian agent.
They also believe that kavanaugh used to run rape trains.
Can't convince them otherwise. They are too far gone, and live in the alternative reality the establishment has created.
