When I was a child the matrix felt endless, i could see for billions of miles into the cosmos. Now I'm 52 and I'm convinced that i live in a fucking shoe box, and its been hijacked by a morose, bloodthirsty parasite which feeds on misery. But let's not dismiss everything that we know as creation, as merely a construct of the Archon, they are in control, but this is Sophia's creation, but her children have fallen in love with this lie, they crave the depravity, the lust, the misery, instead of avoiding spiritual poison we drink it up, and the parasite is overjoyed. Our transgressions are their permission, they dig in and get fat, and we move a little closer to the abyss. Sophia gave herself to the earth for her children, just so we could live the experience, all of it, good bad and everything in between, we are given free will to do as thy wilt .........but harm none, BUT HARM NONE! THIS IS THE ONLY MORALITY you don't have permission to affect my experience unless I give it. The parasite is aware that we are waking up, but we're not exactly keeping it a secret So be prepared

That's all you need to know about the mentality of the people that come up with this stuff. It's a combination of the mental illness, low education, stubbornness and sometimes, just plain trolling that gets this stuff to take off. There's a lot of people that don't like to take things at face value that always want to challenge expertise and the status quo, and they're easily exploitable.

I invite the anti-vaccers, flat-earthers and hurricane deniers to experience the consequences of their ignorance they spew the hard way (disease, being shot into space, washed away with the tide) so they don't infect everyone else.

Even if they don't infect their actions cause problems. A non-vaxer whose kid is exposed to measles can walk into a kindergarden and kill half the kids. 



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Around the Network

I'm both pleased and disappointed a Hurricane Denier has not entered my thread and bashed me yet.

Also this is politics not general.

Not all stupid things are related to politics. Although it's probably inevitable that this thread will turn into a political discussion after a while.

A consequence of Poe's law, perhaps?

Are you saying there's a possibility these people, or more specifically the video I linked, are all parodies?

I'm saying there's a possibility that all this "Irma fake" thing was born indeed from a parody or a joke, and as Poe's law dictates, people eventually mistook it for the truth, because it didn't sound ironic or jokingly enough for said people.



Bandorr said:

The poll question brings up Donald Trump being fake.  How is that not 100% political?

The whole thread is about politics of hurricanes. Why people would believe the hurricanes are fake are 100% tied to political views.

Hurricanes are directly connected to climate change now. Climate change is very much a huge part of politics now.

If you believe this thread should be moved to politics discussion, then please get a mod in here. Frankly, I don't care enough.

You do bring up a good point. In live stream chats all across YouTube of news coverage throughout the storm I noticed people jokingly calling everything fake, CGI, etc. It was obvious joking to me, but some people are extremely gullible and, well, stupid.

However, many of these videos were made well before or just before Irma even hit FL. These live streams weren't active at this point. This makes me wonder when Rush Limbaugh first started spewing his shit about the hurricane being false, some people truly follow that man's word.

Evacuating is for snowflakes.



I'm currently buying supplies to go clean my flooded apartment in Jacksonville, salvage what I can, and probably end up moving out. Pretty sure Irma was legit.

Obviously not fake and it's better safe than sorry but as a resident of Southeast Georgia, it was quickly apparent that some things were being blown out of proportion. So many conflicting news reports and too many reporters seemingly enjoying getting people riled up. I went to work and my wife stayed home but many people in my area evacuated.

We even stocked up on supplies but I didn't think anything major would come of it--at least in our area. Savannah got flooded a little but it takes nothing to flood those streets.

Not if those kids are vaccinated, which is kind of the point. Apparently it's going to take some casualties to get people to stop being stupid and taking chances with their kids' lives.
