Honestly, the biggest sign these fuckwits are just grasping at whatever aticks is both how many types of these Gematria systems there are, but also how often they flip around during the same post. Imagine the second is how many unrelated bits these guys use to make their point. Also, the death toll is now 11, does that mean everything is just wrong now?

But, hm. I wonder if there is like some flowchart program these losers use that match things with other stuff, or if they just have backlog of numbers they go back to fetch when something they find a new number match?

Also.. "Trump turns 42 Martian years old one day after the shooting." Really? You're doing bullshit like that too?

@no_one_quits #wingnut #racist

1. You can believe that Jesus is God and/or that the Nazis under Hitler had a concentrated effort to kill ~6 million Jewish people and then another ~6 million of other categories. One doesn't need to replace the other, just like you don't replace Christianity with "Breakfastanity," the belief that the first meal of the day is commonly called breakfast.

2. Your made up version of it does, sure. In general though, knowing about what Hitler did to a commonly oppressed and reviled ethnic/religious group and how people can be convinced/coerced to go along with various atrocities is not only just a part of history but one that can be compared and contrasted to current events. Seeing how many people will happily embrace authoritarianism and extremism under mob mentality led by a charismatic leader and how it impacts society.

3. Generally because the attempts to refute it are in bad faith. Cherry picking information to lie, false claims, and general misinformation is how it's usually argued. And the latter is pretty usually true cause the thing I hear most from Holocaust deniers is something like "Hitler didn't kill 6 million Jews (or some slur) but he should have!" You know, the type that says their boy is an innocent angel while calling for genocide. Which often means the person is a horrible racist fuckwit, so you know, a horrible person. And the prison time/financial issues do vary depending on where you live.

Bill Smith #wingnut #racist #transphobia #homophobia

@Citizen_Justin But how else can they cheaply and casually imply the opposing group is all about rape and sodomy?

But, I'm guessing one of three things "really" happened with this fellow.

The easiest is he's lying.
The secondis he just really didn't think about things, but as we got more connected he's equating "seeing and/or being made aware of things" with "It's all forced on me!" And he hates it, but he always would have.
The third and saddest would be he's got a warped view from the worst of the worst/hearing all sorts of exaggerations and misrepresentations.

SPIRIT OF GOD #god-complex #crackpot #ufo #fundie #conspiracy

What "are" the Biblical proofs of the three mythical beings, you mean? Gee, you'd think an all powerful mystical being would know how to at least not make such simple grammatical errors.

But, the OP realizes just putting = between two things doesn't make ot right? And you have to be consistent with using it? Eye (for whatever reason) equals pineal gland, and Christ also equals pineal gland. So the OP is Jesus the eye, Jesus the Christ, and Jesus the pineal gland?

JohnleBon #conspiracy #magick

Short answer is no. At least certainly not in the way that is being presented.

For the Matrix, it's set in the 1990's. Any date they used for a passport would have a corresponding 2000's date. How many movie passports/driver's licenses are you ignoring to make the Matrix link a "prediction?" And to make a weak point weaker, what would the Matrix be predicting, in the movie? The disaster in the movie was a vague "early 21st century" and "robots take over the world" doesn't exactly translate to "Terrorists fly planes into the Twin Towers, Pentagon, and a failed other target." Even if you were connecting the 9/11/2001 to the date of the vague disaster, what then? "Something bad will happen on 9/11" isn't exactly a great prediction either. If you need an event to happen for it to be a connection, you're not making a prediction.

And no, the patterns don't "emerge" after the fact, you're looking for numbers to match what you want. Based on the Seinfeld one (which, funny enough Google isn't helping me find what they are supposed to be "predicting"), you are basing it on season 3, episode 11 and I'm assuming some topic is being talked about. There are... a LOT of shows. Especially in sitcoms. Any long running enough show could get you a decent amount of months, with the number of episodes at least getting to early double digits. If you can pick any number of shows plus episode numbers, you can find "some" reference to "something" being talked about.

You're not going to accurately predict anything because of the sheer amount of media, events, and dates you can play with.

The Rev. Eric Kalinowski #conspiracy #racist #fundie

I mean, the one thing I can is possibly right is that the sorta black bag shady intelligence agencies likely have a decent enough file on Trump. It's not like he's exactly discreet.

That said, I do "love" how they always seem to think that "The Jeeeeews" are powerful, evil, and influential enough to puppet the US but any people who oppose them either directly or are "against the NWO led by them" (like Iran, Russia, China, etc) are somehow not only not in on this globalist plot but often "in the right" despite being terrible as well. It's just such a weird thought process.

Gilgamech #crackpot #dunning-kruger #kinkshaming #transphobia

So choosing your own character is AGP training, but so is playing a default female character?

So just video games in general are AGP training? Because if a woman was playing, it'd be whatever the equivalent of AGP is for then, but funnily enough Tomb Raider wouldn't be?

You know, it's a bit of a jumbled mess trying to make sense if the argument presented, so I'd say it's less some insidious plot and more "Hey, horny folks like watching sexy people in skimpy clothes" and "Hey, people like to make their own characters. We'll let them."

And honestly, isn't it more the 3rd person games where it would be an issue, since you're not staring at more than your 1st person character's hands/arms aside from cutscenes?

Alexandra Bruce/Juan O Savin #wingnut #crackpot #transphobia #conspiracy

I think the thing that is the hardest to believe in this is the idea that IF there was some super shadowy evil cabal who has been secretly manipulating and controlling things from the shadows for hundreds of years, up to and including replacing people with high end impersonation masks... that not only would any public opposition be legit, but that a spoiled rich narcissist who has a long history of ignoring and breaking laws, adultery, and sexual assault (among other things) be the super hero to rise up and combat the cabal.

Like, seriously, given everything said, the demagoguery, the blatant hate speech, the obvious corruption, and so far more or less immunity from repercussions, all that points to someone who, to quote a wonderful movie, is "protected on high from the prince of darkness."

Daniel Larson #conspiracy #dunning-kruger #psycho #racist

Yeah, if what @C.A.Collins said is true and he was committed, posting him is less FSTDT and more People With Psych Issues Say the Darndest Things.

That being said, as a post, it lacks the "charm" as him ranting about bombing everyone. If he was shoved out of a car and the other person drove away, can see even more normal people having a similar reaction.

C.T. and Adunai #racist #wingnut #psycho

Aduni: "Yeah, my baseline is "literally everyone must die" so you know I'm a well adjusted individual. Even if was just everyone listed and "literally" everyone, I'm an ideology peddler calling for ideology peddlers to be killed. So I'm smart."

CT: "I agree with and support Aduni SO MUCH that I'll post his calls to cartoon villain levels of violence and share his thoughts. He can't because he was somehow banned. But like him, I long for the slaughter of soooooo many people."

I half wonder if more people are just like, a step away from a Mitchell and Webb "Are we the Baddies?" Realization... or if they've realized it and gone "Yes, but I don't care."

@Peacemonger373 OBVIOUSLY there were only 13 colonies because something something Masons, something something Illuminati, and other reasons SATAN WORSHIP. It's like you're not even paying attention to how obviously evil everything is aside from the things the OP likes.

Joking aside, I do kinda love how unhinged this guy is. Like, this guy is going on about some "Swiss Cult" rituals that may or may not be related to the Masons. (why use different terms between Swiss Cult and Masonic if they were the same?) Which is standard stuff for these nuts.

But then it's like he has a stroke and just naming things he doesn't like.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #magick #conspiracy

Now, I actually looked this up, because I knew cathedral came from the Latin/Greek word for seat (cathedra/kathedra) but wasn't sure what cathode came from. Cathode is a more recent word, from Greek kathodos meaning "way down" (kata- = down, hodos = way).

If the easiest to check point you are making is completely false, why would we think you have the wherewithal to accurately comment on your more extravagant claims?

Another thing, the "Oh, you're telling me these ancient people lived with no electricity were better at ____ than we are today? That's stupid. Must have been aliens, or super advanced race, or magic" bullshit people say? Fuck you. You don't need a light bulb to carve rocks. You don't need a light bulb to carve rocks exceptionally well. See, for all of recorded history, we've had this lovely thing called a "sun" that gives light for at least large chunks of the day. And this other thing called "fire" also helps illuminate areas. Just because you personally couldn't carve a statue without power tools or lightbulbs, don't insult the very skilled people who did.

Chris Chan #fundie #magick #god-complex #crackpot #moonbat

Huh. "Chris Chan getting a god complex about their doofy fanfic" was not on my "FSTDT bingo card for the sorta post I'd see opening the page.

And it is funny how I usually read the posts first, before going to the name, usually to see if I recognize something or to have a "oh, it's them, that makes sense" when I scroll back up. So my thought process was "Blah blah, book of merging.. central processing unit goddess? That's dumb... Sonichu? Wait, is this fucking Chris Chan?"

Because honestly, if you changed JUST the names, it's really no different than the usual new agey drivel we usually see. Instead of Sonichu it's Thoth or Pledians or Ascended Masters or some nonsense.

It is always amazing to see people speak so confidently about things that are obviously wrong.

1. So when the heart goes through the various contractions that appear to be pumping blood, what is it doing?

2. The heart is very obviously not spiral shaped. We can open up people and look at their hearts.

3. Of course ancient people thought the heart was important. If you got stabbed there you'd die. You can feel it beating and powering the body as it pumps blood.

4. The heart can't be the center of the nervous system. If it was there wouldn't be "some" instances of people gaining a few habits of the heart donor, but since they'd pretty much lose their original self and get a new one. If you claim all the neurons and synapses are super involved with forming the mind, removing all of that would have a massive change.

Caspian "Casper" Sarginson #crackpot #fundie #conspiracy #mammon

So science, math, physics, astronomy, theology(??!!) and cosmology (and all the others) are anti-God. How does one argue in favor of something like Flat Earth without using any of those?

KeithClossOfficial #kinkshaming #dunning-kruger

No, the idea of polyamory is having a relationship with multiple people.

While you might think the "cause" might be attention seeking nonsense that's not the "idea" of it.

Come on, Keith. Words have meaning. And just because you disagree with things doesn't negate it on principle.

Alexandra Bruce #conspiracy #wingnut

Well, a brief look at the guy, he apparently had been involved in humanitarian works for decades and from the looks of it, his efforts did likely help a lot of people.

That said, people who want to prey on children often find work where they can be close to them, and helping some to prey on others is just all sorts of terrible.

As for the other nonsense, no. As stated above, there is no "Frazzledrip" video. The only evidence for it has been clearly false.

And that's not even the dumbest part. You claim Dalgish somehow got his hands on a video with an American politician and her aide doing terrible things. He then decides that using it as blackmail is the best idea. He makes use of this blackmail by first, leaving the country so the American politician can't help him, and leaking it, negating its effectiveness as blackmail. Because that makes sense.

Warren Davidson & Barry Moore #crackpot #wingnut

Oh, I can help. Can even answer the three points right away.

1. TDS (a common misnomer, like how the Big Bang was an expansion and not explosion or how jellyfish are not fish and contain no jelly) was an insult coined by the far right who conflated distaste for Trump as being crazy. The cause is most likely a mix of trying to play off the claims that people didn't like Obama because they were racist (which is certainly true for some sections of the Republican base) and mix of cognitive dissonance and projection for trying to support someone like Trump (ex. the "for the common people" and "religious right" party getting fully behind a grifting, adulterous conman who routinely flaunts both his corruption and disdain for the common man. A petty narcissist and repeated adulterer who is so removed from Christianity he can't name one Bible verse he likes)

2. Removing the source from office/being a public figure and holding his supporters accountable for their actions is the only real solution.

3. The main news networks being run by those who value profit over truth and teying to push an agenda is the cause. You have people who have networks rhat blur the lines between opinions and facts, who admit in court people like Carlson are in no way reliable or trustworthy, and then try to hide the fact. Peole like Trump come along and stoke the flames those news networks have been keeping hot, cultivating the fear mongering, being an acceptable outlet for their worst traits and behaviors, etc. It's been in the works since the Southern Strategy killed what was the Republican Party.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #pratt #ufo #magick #conspiracy

I've always found it kinda baffling that Flat Earth idiots for some reason decided to throw out so much science when it's not really needed.

There is no reason that observable gravity wouldn't be feasible on a flat Earth. Like sure they believe astronomy is a scam, but that's just problems past the atmosphere, you can make up reasons there are issues.

Instead they insist on making up nonsense like some sort of electromagnetic component (which would be more observable and affect things differently based on composition, which gravity does not) or claiming it's "density" (which is reliant on gravity for the downward pull and wouldn't function in a vacuum chamber, among other issues) for some reason.

Laura Wood #conspiracy #wingnut

The thing is that most lay Catholics (or any laity of a religion when the leader is being accused by some randos) would need that heresy trial to see why one of the many ecumenical councils suddenly made most all the adherents of the faith heretics.

Cause just saying it doesn't help. Why would something that didn't change any doctrine make the clergy suddenly invalid to hold rank? It's always sounded so asinine. They sound like "Oh, having the mass in the native language, priests facing the people they are supposed to care for, and trying to be accepting and loving like Jesus said are just... fucking terrible. I hate it."

Astaro #fundie

Now, I can sympathize with getting a bit tired of seeing "Oh, this evil guy/gal? What if s/he wasn't?" or "What if we looked at thing from when this evil person wasn't evil?" sort of storylines. There are a LOT of those. Some sillier than others.

Being such a common trope, I'd even be hesitant to call it "subversive" at this point, especially for the Devil. The Devil in particular has been a character for centuries and written every which way, from a wronged fellow who just can't abide God's tyranny, to the usual evil type, to a goofball who makes random bets to hillbillies over fiddle playing. You name it, he's done it.

Red Pill Poet #wingnut #conspiracy

Yeah, I'm with @Citizen_Justin

I think this idiot was too focused on trying to sound smart that he forgot to actually make a point.

Going through, if we ignore the superfluous descriptive language, we get "Wrapped in fantasies of immortality; taking pleasure in its vision of becoming one with a bio-digital "prison*" and having a good reality; the "Psychopathocracy**" gathered lots of evil to trick most everyone and make a shield to avoid detection of this trick."

* not sure what he's getting at with prison, so left it
** is a not super common term of how it appears that the government appears to be full of psychopaths and running things caters to their lack of morals and lack of regard for the law.

But, this is just rambling nonsense.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #ufo #magick #quack #conspiracy

So Bennett is convinced a "timeline split" WILL happen. And he seems super convinced that it's like the multiiversal timeline sorta thing you see in movies and shows, where x event causes the timelines to exist at the same time, that sorta thing.

That being said, why does he portray the bad stuff as actually being bad? Like sure, it'll suck for that timeline, but there you also get the good ending. And it's not like anything can stop this split, apparently. So what does it matter if the nefarious evil shadow government who rules the world does weird sci-fi experiments to try to... take over the world? Like @Bastehotep said, they're already in control. Why do all this nonsense to "take" control? And even then it's just the bad end timeline where it's an issue? How lame is that?

As for the protein thing, yeah, it's completely unhinged, but what about people with an plant proteins? Will they just go comatose and try to photosynthesize?

Though, joking aside, I do like the phrasing of "that they do not naturally possess." Is there something you can buy to give you an unnatural double jump? Does Conservapedia think people will sell their souls, not for fame, wealth, or pleasurable company, but for the ability to double jump? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'd say if someone makes an oath that says "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" and then says he doesn't fucking know if he is going to and will have his lawyers "look into it" then he should be removed from office for failing the bare minimum of the job requirement.

I suppose if he lives in Bizarro world he "could" be right.

But no, the 3/5ths compromise meant that Southern slave owners (the sort of fuckwits who thought owning people as property was just fine) were unequally represented in the House of Representatives. By being a slave with no say on government, that let those enslaving others use your body for an extra vote.

So no. It is not a celebration of equality. The state of the Republican Party, bunch of dumbass clowns. That somehow have power to ruin the country.

State of the Nation Editor #racist #wingnut #crackpot #conspiracy

You'd think if a country has a secret magic/sci-fi weather controlling death machine things would be easier for them militarily, especially since they've shown no regard for human life, one of the usual mitigating factors of such a weapon.

Like, a news story of "Gaza was flattened by intense weather, as unprecedented storms, flooding, and tornadoes leveled the area. Isreal helps relocate the displaced citizens and purchases the area for reconstruction" is SO much better than "Isreal has become more and more reviled, partially for military action against Hamas, but mostly for the growing list of war crimes they are committing on the regular km Gaza." Still a bit scummy but buying out wrecked property would go over so much easier than what's going on.

Now, maybe Gaza is close to home, but that shouldn't be an issue. Worried about Iranian nukes? Category 5 hurricane rolling through Tehran. No need for missles if Syria gets an unprecedented 8 feet of flooding.

Seriously, you're building them up as super villains, they could spam that shit and blame global warming if they really had that tech.

1. Vatican 2 didn't change any Catholic doctrines. Why would it suddenly become corrupted and "Anti-Christ" if nothing belief-wise changed?

2. Why would Pope Pius XII be the "last" Pope? John XXIII was elected after him and initiated the Second Vatican Council, Even if John 23 did things you don't like him, he was still a true Pope?

3. Why would this council mess up apostlic succession and not others that had bigger influences on the doctrines of the Catholic Church?

4. And, sure, you could say what is going on with the Catholic Church fits Apocalyptic Prophecy... if you ignore it.

Laura Wood #fundie #wingnut

Ecumenism is not a fancy word for polytheism. Since Laura is an idiot, ecumenism is trying to foster unity and heal divisions "within Christianity." Interfaith cooperation is different.

If she can't get something that simple correct, why would any of her other points be looked at with any seriousness?

Not that her other points deserve seriousness even as she presents them. Trying to get along with/cooperate with/find common ground with other religions doesn't equate to saying the deity (or lack thereof with various flavors of the example of Buddhism) is "good" by any stretch. But generally the interfaith cooperation sort of sentiment mostly boils down to "Hey, you know what sucks for people? Religious persecution and violence. How about we work so people don't hate each other and harm each other as much?"

Of course with the three biggest monotheistic religions being iterations of the "same" God, her argument gets even sillier.

Red Pill Poet #quack #wingnut #conspiracy

Not family, not bigoted schools/teachers, not classmates bullying them, not people in government trying to repeal protections and rights, not random religious fuckwits who say stuff like they're going to hell for being whatever.

Isaac Weishaupt #fundie #magick #conspiracy

What I find interesting is how influential the absolutely terrible slop Hislop was selling.

The man elevated a woman to deity status (Semiramis being the more folklorey/legendary counterpart of the historical Shammuramat) because her husband Ninus had a name "like" Nimrod (a purely Biblical person who doesn't have any good historical or mythological analogs). He invents a connection to a different deity Tammuz (this OP seems to conflate him with Gilgamesh, which... isn't a thing?). And of course, the big claim is that "True Christians" actually worship Jesus and God
but those evil Papists are part of an ancient global conspiracy/cult run by the Masons/the Catholic Church. Every big religion aside from the "True Christians" worship some variation of the mother goddess who's name has been changed over and over (and I think the funniest examples given are Artemis/Diana and Athena/Minerva).

Granted, when he was writing (1853 and 1858 (pamphlet snd book versions respectively) there was less research and things were harder to verify for the average person. But that people today still seem to think it as even more than a poorly researched conspiracy filled screed is just kinda sad.

Bennett Lee Ross #crackpot #ufo #magick #quack #conspiracy

The worst thing about this sort of bullshit is that because they don't really use actual definitions, it's impossible to even get at what they are talking about. Like "aqualine sun"

The Latin word aquiline (not aquALine) "means" eagle. Is he saying there is some sorta eagle sun? Does the sun have a hooked shape, or hooked nose (a current definition)?

The only thing that comes up for aqualine are company names are products, which don't make sense for an adjective. If he means "watery" the word would be aquaTIC not aquaLINE. And in context there is nothing that could help anyone parse the meaning.

These woo idiots use words like they are translating English from something else poorly and whatever translation program they are using is broken on top of that.

Most of what I remember was assholes throwing temper tantrums about masks and having to stay home during a pandemic. Assaulting and killing people for asking them to wear a mask. The callous disregard for others when asked to be civil and try to help others.

And, just because I can be a "bit" pedantic, only one of the examples Mary Frost said could be a threat, and even then "do this or no visiting grandkids" seems more an ultimatum than a "threat." The first is purely an observation, the second a health warning/observation.

bublgumbitch #wingnut #dunning-kruger

I'd more argue that it's childish to argue if Hitler was evil or not because the answer is such an overwhelming yes, you have to have a warped moral compass to disagree.

Like sure, short term he helped to bring Germany from the weakened post WWI state it was in to a thriving economic powerhouse, but what he was doing wasn't sustainable even without his visions of ethnic cleansing and conquest.

But anyone who would stoke the flames of hatred like he did, engage in such reckless violence as he did, and engineer genocide like he did IS evil. People often compare Stalin's death toll to Hitler's, talking about how one is considered evil while the other person was responsible for more death. Aside from being portrayed in a slightly better initial light because he was a member of the allies, Stalin didn't really "try" to kill as many people. Sure, people died in famines and labor camps, but Stalin didn't have the methodical way of slaughtering people that the Nazis did.

If for whatever reason the famines, droughts, and bad conditions didn't kill the (higher estimates of) 20 so million people, Stalin and the CPSU wasn't going to make sure they died. Hitler and the Nazis happily eradicated 12 million+ people and would have done more if the war didn't stop them. That's the difference.

Saying he had "some bad ideas' is such a gross understatement it honestly becomes a straight falsehood. His goal of "Helping Germany" was based on eradicating various ethnic and other groups. It is built on evil.

So on the growing list of things she doesn't know how to do, we can add "writing a coherent list" to Greene's, which is honestly a little funny.

We have the things that, as a loon, she might be behind like raw milk and hemp mixed in with stuff she obviously doesn't like, the COVID vaccines and fentanyl.

And then there the ones where I can't hope to guess what she might even be trying to claim. She mentions the vapes, but nicotine products already have health risk warnings and she's in the party that has been against government oversight and regulations. And the FDA has only been able to do anything with nicotine/tobacco products since 2009. Fentanyl is... illegal for casual use and only good for prescription use? Not sure what she even wants the FDA to do? And finally the milk formula, it's recommended that infants don't have any before 6 months. It isn't always the case and too much too young can be detrimental, but that's hardly the FDA's fault?

Huh. I'm honestly a little mixed up by this one, they usually have the "is it possible that this happened?" Sort of questions are for their completely crazy bullshit ideas. They switched it up on us, normally they'd lead with the nonsense about the very well documented goings on of the Colosseum being used as a power plant.

But, aside from the well documented use as an arena, who has ever said the arches and columns were "purely" decorative? They are designed to support the building, Rome was famous for their great use if building materials and arches. And yes. People do love watching fights. Movies, tv shows, games all revel in violence. Actual martial arts like boxing, MMA, Muay Thai, Knight Fights, scripted fights like Pro Wrestling, to stuff like mentioned above, things like Battle Bots or Robot Wars. People LOVE watching fights and fighting.

The bigger questions that rule against it being a giant power plant would be the obvious ine above, why did all contemporary writings describe it as an arena? Why would you have a power plant that could sit 50-80 thousand people? Why would you have a retractable awning for bad weather? Why would you build it to hold water? Where all the arenas all over the Empire just smaller power plants, even with the variations of construction? Where did the power go? To the fire lit rooms? The slave powered field equipment?

So the big proof is some guy referringto Trump in the past tense, regarding meetings and things that happened in the past?

Gee, if that's not conclusive I don't know what is...
