Attempt to distract from the fact that extremists are notorious for receiving support from dubious sources as well as your country's enemies who hope to weaken it to their own advantage. Attempt to blame scapegoats for the tendency of unethical conspirators to be losers.

because their god told them to, as if that justifies their barbarism

Nice post, just a minor obvious statement: claiming that their god told them to, considering that there is no evidence that their god exists or existed, or that the texts they quote mine from don't have a fully human origin.

Inventing "Jesus" straw men for appeal to authority fallacies and to attempt to justify the unacceptable. The actual Jesus would throw out scammers of the temple, when Republicans appear to be the party of organized crime and scams. He attempted to promote values like mercy, forgiveness and tolerance, when the Republican party appears to promote the inverse, bigotry, intolerance, inequality and the oppression of minorities. Liar, heretic.

buildings appear too large to have been built by “people of our height”[…]

LOL.

So this is similar to claims about the pyramids and the pseudoscientific racism promoted on some TV shows that supposedly, those people couldn't be intelligent or organized enough to build them. But this is even more outlandish because it also includes parts of history that are much better documented and closer to our own civilization. But ironically, the arguments appeal to old mythology.

“But real quick on the giants, you can’t have Darwinism, you can’t have evil-ution, you can’t have Big Bang with giants,” Hibbeler said[…]

Agenda revealed. Trying to pretend that old mythology, ironically written by people too ignorant to know about the natural world, and especially modern twists of that, would somehow be "truth" beyond science and strong evidence. As if the discoveries of science were just traditional folk stories at the same level. Like in Galileo's time, where evidence showed that the human was not the center of the universe, this propagandist rejects that fact, shown again by evolution.

Also, it's important to remember that before the advent of precision artillery and anti-air defence, structures would often be placed strategically relating to local geography, but also tended to need fortifications against on-foot invaders and the armament of the time.

Also interesting is that ancient monuments are often misrepresented by such propagandists. Many people have no idea that ancient pyramids are smaller than a modern stadium and that their stones are not really the size of mountains. Thanks to bullshit TV.

The Degrowth Movement for Climate Change has swelled in recent years, particularly in Europe and in academic circles, now it’s been linked up with Communism.

Citation needed. With a reputable source that's not an oil regime's or extremist political movement's mouthpiece. Without that, the false premise that serves for the rest of the argument voids it by default. Claims without evidence are only claims, and likely lies. Pseudoscientific arguments are nothing new from oil regimes. On the other hand, there is strong evidence for the fact that human emissions contribute to global warming.

What is “Full Disclosure”?

The "disclosure movement" is an anti-government extremist cultish group that went as far to promote and recruit domestic terrorists. Linked to the "patriot movement" and other such extremist groups, it pushes outlandish conspiracy theories of shadow governments controlled by (non-existing) purported invasive extra-terrestrials. Recent incarnations follow the cosmic radicalization agenda going beyond traditional religion to manipulate. It becomes pseudo-religion "dealing at a 'cosmic' level". May vary from moonbats to outright rehashed odinist nazism. Promotes and weaponizes human weaknesses and mental illness. In the case of this particular website, it is known to be linked to QAnon Trumpist neo-nazism.

It was propaganda for children to adopt the lifestyle as innocent. Just a mere blush. A certain love like charm, like boyfriend and girlfriend would have

False conspiracy theory based on a slippery slope panic argument that does not reflect reality. Assuming that the plot is really that, a depiction of a reality that exists (like same-sex relationships, assuming that it's not the poster twisting a strong friendship into something else) does not convert one's orientation. The problem is that you want to censor it, because you do not accept that reality may conflict with your ideals. Even when it's in an animated film.

In 2016, Hillary Clinton's campaign secretly paid more than a million dollars to foreign spies to create entire fictions out of whole cloth in order to smear Donald Trump as a Russian agent.

Who pays you to spread such blatant disinformation? There was evidence of Russian interference, but Trump was not evaluated to directly be implicated, evidence was lacking for it (vs IRT some affiliated). And there was no evidence linking Clinton to investigations. An email server was apparently compromised, though.

Notorious crackpot begins with a political disinformation conspiracy theory, then concludes with even more outlandish stories that thankfully poisons its own well. Unfortunately, there really are a few who are detached enough from reality to potentially swallow this harmful bullshit. Constant distrust propaganda of this type radicalizes victims into paranoids who see malice and extreme corruption everywhere. The deception may even cause some to begin to trust the most unreliable and blatant liars on the planet, who trick, isolate and manipulate them. In some cases they become homeless or worse.

Edit/Adding:
So I've watched the first hour of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g197xdRZsW0 (on the Joe Rogan show). It was enough to not have to listen to the whole 3h, although I skimmed to look at videos and images. There definitely is pseudoscientific creationism, inspired by the artist and new age pseudocosmologist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Russell . Then a type of bubbles and sacred geometry based doctrine from which are derived claimed technologies (like drones that I didn't evaluate as being more efficient than existing technologies). But also many false claims about physics and cosmology, based on false premises. And no experimental evidence whatsoever for those is presented. Instead, the typical accusations are made against science, scientists and anyone who doesn't swallow it, the usual stigmatized knowledge conspiracy theories, etc. Some of those doctrines are based on symmetrical ideas. They go from some that contradict what we have discovered in particle accelerators, to some that contradict what we have observed of the solar system and the asteroid belt, etc. Like that hydrogen is a master source for other atoms without needing stars, that we could separate hydrogen and oxygen from water using no energy, that every solar system has a sun from which all its rocky planets originate, with an "earth" at the same speed around its own sun, that all asteroids in the belt are from a single planet, etc. Some claims testable that would fail a reality check and result in falsified hypotheses, then other claims that are untestable and involve the supernatural, resting on questionable metaphysics. The time scale of cosmology is also twisted and some ancient but far from being the oldest human imagery discovered in archaeology are claimed to be the oldest and primordial... Also, he claims that he contacted deGrasse Tyson and that he wasn't interested to discuss the literature he shared with him, misconstruing it as Tyson attacking Tesla, etc. The doctrine is claimed to be a new unified theory, but cannot agree and explain the existing ones, which a better theory would not need to directly discredit, only providing a better understanding. Some clues indicate an intent to be considered a type of guru. There are a few distractions into "manosphere" ideology. Another distraction seemed to involve "detox" quackery. I doubt that there's more details needed here for an assessment. :)

Wayne Allyn Root #conspiracy #wingnut

An Integrative Health Consultant/State of the Nation #wingnut #crackpot #quack #conspiracy

Paranoid, psychotic style grandiose conspiracy theory. If there was a conspiracy to produce memory loss, there would be much more effective agents. One must assume that aluminium is linked to Alzheimer's and that it guaranties its reliable development in everyone and that this is somehow practical. Even the claimed spraying is nonsense, a misrepresentation of contrails and possibly of crop dusting. Perhaps remotely, of cloud seeding, that still is only about water vapor contrails. It's also interesting that in this NWO conspiracy theory, "globalism" is supposedly to depopulate. Memory loss or depopulation? Self-conflicted. Why "depopulation" by "globalism"? It sounds like natalism. And interestingly, the end twists it into religion with a doctrine of "spiritual immortality". After promoting yet another conflicting claim, that the depopulation and memory loss is for er, the physical immortality of an elite. The nonsense is as confused as the poster.

Terrence Howard #conspiracy #crackpot #dunning-kruger

Apparent pseudoscientific nonsense for reality denial and idealism. But it's unclear with a single post. Is the intent to promote quackery using "electric" devices? Is it for magic doctrines? Is it to deny gravity to justify UFO conspiracy theories? In any case, it is easily recognizable as flawed and erroneous to anyone with a minimal knowledge of physics... And even if someone doesn't know about mass, gravity and electric potential, reading the lead of a few Wikipedia articles is enough to dispell this. Meaning that anyone who really entertains and promotes this either is extremely ignorant, or promotes extreme ignorance, with the rejection of basic knowledge sources.

And not accepting this nonsense is "worshipping gravity", somehow? Gravity doesn't need to be your "god" for you to realize its existence and effects. It sounds like the poster experienced it, hard on the head. :)

"If you've become sick it's not because of all the anti-health and strange practices we are recommending, it's because you are advancing on the path, it is good."

Typical but dangerous quackery and control apologetics. I don't know for their particular cult, but in some, adherents are actually voluntarily exhausted with poor diets and intense practices until they're broken and more manipulable. Some also fall into psychotic or delirium states with the guru interpreting their sickness for further exploitation.

Assuming that the intent is less malicious, it still misconstrues common states like fatigue with nonsensical doctrines for deception with fallacies like hasty generalizations and false attribution.

Libel of human rights, based on the perspective of the oppressive ideology of totalitarian regimes. Since the goal is to restrict rights, anything that allow them must be accused with straw men and conspiracy theories, like this "erosion intent" lie for libel and panic. Which is itself also based on slippery slope fallacies. The world does not end because people have more liberties. In fact, the erosion of liberties is promoted by regimes who face hardship because of their policy and hope to erode the rights and power of more successful civilizations, to their advantage. This is why Russia needs deception like hybrid warfare and divisive propaganda campaigns, and funds extremist destructive movements elsewhere, for instance. And uses "moral sermons" as part of it. Like other facist movements, MAGA also relies on panic and conflict and it too hypocritically uses "high moral ground" bullshit to justify criminal behavior, the harassment of what keeps order and decency, the promotion of hate and violence, etc.

Creationist "logic": I assert that my imaginary creator exists, and comes from nowhere! No amount of strong evidence will convince me that we weren't created 7k years ago, because I have been blinded and my ability to reason has been stolen, by exploitative deceivers.

Dallas Ludlum #fundie #pratt #dunning-kruger

Textbook ultrafundamentalism embracing and promoting pseudoscientific creationist religious anti-knowledge arguments. The fine tuned universe argument depends on idealism, a-priori conclusions and teleology. A better approach is the anthropic principle, acknowledging that life probably develops elsewhere in space/time as well, but that it is rare enough for two civilizations that developed intelligence to never meet eachother. The "from nothing" argument denies the size and age of the universe and its complexity, putting up a straw man of science, a variant of the "only random chance" misrepresentation. "It aligns with our intuitive sense of purpose and meaning" admits that the argument is about wishthinking and "intuition". The scientific method is the only enterprise that so far allowed to reliably distinguish ideology and reality, with tools to deal with our brain's common vulnerabilities. For that reason, it is rejected by ideologues who want to dictate belief.
