This type of image appeals to conspiracy thinkers I presume. The small minority that is 't afraid to do the hard work and think for themselves.
Or so they think.

Conspiracy theories tend to be simpler explanations. The people attracted to them struggle to comprehend complexities, and thus reject reality for the conspiracy.
The simple explanations are often shrouded in mountains of bullshit to make you think you "did the work". All fluff and very little substance. Lefty or not Sophie from Mars dids a fantastic essay on conspiracy theories and stigmatized knowledge. Well worth anyone's time considering how relevant the topic is nowadays
Yes, but they could / would say exactly the same things about our side. This symmetry of how each side perceives the other, I find it both fascinating, infuriating and frustrating.
Identifying aircraft or atmospheric phenomenon is very complex. You need an understanding of aircraft and various classes of aircraft. Satellites and various classes and orbits. A for phenomenon you need an understanding of physics, fluid dynamics and meteorology. It's easier to say you saw an alien.
Technology has advanced significantly in the last 200 years. This makes senses in you understand the enlightenment and improved communication technologies (printing press etc). There has been a steady increase in technological development each one making the next feasible. Optics improved reading. Lighting allowed work outside of daylight. Agricultural development allowed more people to get out of a substance living and more people developing technology and culture. Unless we got all those ideas from an alien craft.
Vaccines and how the improve immune response is not trivial. Especially the new vaccines that were developed for covid. Rather than appear ignorant, it easier to reject that they are effective.
Well, there's actually "doing your own research" and there's "get fed a line by alt right media and thinking that counts as research". Which is a conspiracy in and of itself, to mislead the public along that specific narrative...
Carefully researched conspiracy theory with science method just can't exist. The basis for conspiracy theory is that there's truth so well hidden there's no proof for that, and they can just "see through the lies".

Dear ntzm, I wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the constructive criticism you provided me with. Your feedback has helped me gain a fresh perspective on the topic and has provided valuable insights for improvement.
I appreciate the time and effort you took to provide me with such thoughtful feedback. Your constructive criticism has not only given me a better understanding of areas that require further development, but has also encouraged me to push myself further to reach my goals.
Thank you once again for your invaluable input. I truly value your opinion and will take your suggestions into consideration as I continue to work towards improvement. Your support and willingness to provide honest feedback is greatly appreciated.
Kind regards!
I REALLY hope you're still a kid with all the cringe shit you post here. I truly hope once you grow up (again, hopefully physically, but if not then definitely mentally) you can reread the comment you made in earnest...because he really did give you all the criticism and input needed. Fucking cringe, bro. It's like I'm on 9gag.
You do not have to care about me. Im doing fine. Financially, mentally, everything is good. My life is perfect as it is.
How is "cringe" criticism? I just responded on the same level.
What are you looking for in this community? Do you look for some papers which discuss atheism? After all, I provide some content on this platform which people like if you look at the votes. If you do not like the community, just ignore it and go on with your cool and not so cringey life.
My sister is a shaman and believes in magic sugar......
That's crack, your sister sells crack.
I think "less wrong" is more appropriate in most cases.
Maybe "right" just points to the right in this case.
This says a lot about society
Explain further Dr Darwin
It just shows a lot of people around me. If you ask them why is that and how is that. They answer with god. It is annoying af.
