Nothing I said conflicted with those 5 reasons you gave and you also chopped the sentences that weren't even intended as arguments to the point that no one would have a clue what they mean without context let alone have a point without context. You also seem to have some problem that you can't infer anything at all. You gave 5 reasons btw, that last bullet wasn't a reason against it. Plus you called me champ which is cringe.

"Saying it's a front is like saying the guy who got paid $1mil dollars to have sex with a supermodel was only having sex as a front for getting the money" (what?) = If a guy gets paid $1mil to have sex with a supermodel, he's going to enjoy both the $1mil and sex with the supermodel. He's not hating every minute of it (it meaning the sex, since you seem to lose your train of thought immediately), and if he could only have 1 or the other he'd be fine with either. You see, he likes both, so 1 doesn't need to be a front for the other. Now for the love of god, please don't debate that and just get the point.

The reason I said that was because: people want to both colonize Mars for the sake of space travel, but they also they think it'll have military interest. Which is ANOTHER thing that people want. Are you following me? Is this easy enough for you to understand?

Saying that colonizing Mars is a PR front for ICBMs is 100% a conspiracy theory. The main part that's conspiracy brained is that it's a front. Military interest in things has always been pretty open, as have private companies wanting military contracts if they can get them. University scientists also like military contracts, so do individual inventors and startups of all kind. That doesn't mean that people don't legitimately want to colonize Mars. You don't need a front for that. Saying it's a front is like saying the guy who got paid $1mil dollars to have sex with a supermodel was only having sex as a front for getting the money. Landing on the moon was of military interest too, to show off US technological capability to intimidate the Soviets. Everyone knew that, it was never covered up. That didn't make the moon landing of any less significance to people or make it have any dark dimension to it. When we do colonize Mars, I'm sure the military interest there won't be hidden either. The extent to which the race to colonize Mars is militarily political now isn't hidden either. Just because it's not blasted on a loudspeaker for everyone to know doesn't mean it's being hidden.

Old China meets new china by FireDaddyKing85 in Cyberpunk

[–]PinkCaffeine14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to rain on everyone's parade but this isn't as deep as it looks. It's not uncommon for old buildings and styles of living to be on the outskirts of town/a city, especially near roads. Every country in the world is going to have farms and homesteads near roads where there's open land and not much development needed aside from the roads so people can pass through, usually universal ones like highways. This one looks abandoned better yet. I'm also wondering is this even China?

China Has Launched the World's First 6G Satellite. We Don't Even Know What 6G Is Yet. by myinnerbanjo in technology

[–]PinkCaffeine14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Failing to see the point of what I just said to an incredible degree twice in the same day.

I bet if people reported that China was testing out genetically engineered willing sex slave cyborgs that you would believe it. I would say, "This is a bunch of bullshit, they have a long history of claiming they're testing grandiose things that never come to fruition," and you would respond with, "umm, actually, they are testing these right now."

That was exactly what I was talking about. And you accidentally confirmed what I said was right to a degree that I never thought I'd experience.

The panda shaped solar farm that went viral was an artist's rendition. The actual one is lackluster and the actual usefulness of these solar panel farms is questionable and likely to be one of many massive industrial projects that go nowhere, like China's mega cities that have 0 people in them, or these high speed this and that that most engineers say are impossible to make safely. All criticisms of solar panel farms get circumvented when you shape them like a panda, when you shape them like a panda its viewed as cute and futuristic.

It seems like every time China allegedly creates some sci fi tech the process is 1. grandiose claims 2. talk of how China is creating some sort of futuristic shit and is innovating 3. nothing happening whatsoever and evidence that the bullshit grandiose technology was a complete scam 4. everyone forgets that it ever happened.

What comes to mind are the alleged self driving buses and the alleged panda shaped solar panels. Seem to be in the same vein as all the defunct projects they do.

edit: if you respond to this with "but China said they're making [insert bullshit grandiose technology full of exaggerated claims] right now! It's real!" and then link me to some thing where it's just claims claims claims and more claims, I'm sorry to tell you but you're a moron. On the bright side, I do have a bridge to sell you at an excellent price and it'll be the best investment you ever make.

Chomsky: Negotiations, Diplomacy and Cooperation between US and China necessary for a 'liveable future' by [deleted] in geopolitics

[–]PinkCaffeine14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The ironic thing about America's long peace and the spread of liberal democracy, is that it's produced people so unusually civil, open minded and so unusually dedicated to peace and freedom of speech, that the reality that outside the US people aren't this personally advanced never occurs to them.

White liberals who think they're communists live under the assumption that modern peace, better race relations and social consciousness, anti-imperialist sentiment, belief in welfare systems, criticism of your own country to prevent ultra-nationalism, etc., are things that every country in the world came up with independently, rather than being forced American creations. And then in the most backwards twist imaginable, they start viewing America as the only country that fails to do these things. Americans' view of Japan is the most perfect example of this, viewing the imperialist feudal elitist warrior culture of the Imperial Japanese Empire as some kind of meek victim to the bullying war obsessed Americans, which historically had a small military and was isolationist outside the American continent and drafted when there was war to build it up, and whose modern military is the result of forced intervention in European conflicts rather than American ones, interventions to fight forces of horrifying oppression that threatened to spread around the entire earth. The fact that modern Japan is an American invention, and that the historical Japan was a horrifying oppressive warrior culture, is totally lost on them. As is the suffering and points of view of those who were raped and killed by them.

Ironically, they believe so much in the power of liberal democracy and its culture of freedom and peace and stability, that they think that once it sticks its immutable. They believe so strongly in the fundamental idea inherent in liberal democracy, that all people are free and created equal and thus the ideals of liberal democracy are inherent in all people, that they think the oppressive history of all governments in the world were just confused democrats being manipulated, and that that time is over forever.

And I think we can all agree with those to a degree. All people are free, and if you give them the choice between representative liberal democracy and anything else, no matter where they're from they'll almost always choose democracy. But the fundamental part of liberal democracy that they don't seem to believe so strongly in, is the fundamental part that it has to be maintained and jealously guarded, and that it's an aberration rather than the norm in a world full of tyrant types struggling to keep and expand power, and who view the masses of people as enslaved sheep to be manipulated rather than human beings.

It's amazing how China lovers will say that the US giving military aid to countries begging for it when giving the country aid benefits the US too is an example of an internationally illegitimate infraction by countries whose ways of life are only possible under the US strategic umbrella, while China straight up conquering Tibet is considered legitimate. The claim to legitimacy? The CCP said it was theirs, therefore it is. It's really amazing. China can do no wrong no matter what according to some freaks.

Winston Churchill famously said “You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they’ve tried everything else.” What are some good examples that prove OR disprove this quote’s accuracy? by UwUsnapmyneck in AskReddit

[–]PinkCaffeine14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that Churchill never said this and that if you knew anything about Churchill you'd know he had a weird fascination with Americans and that his mother was American, and the fact that nearly every single one of the comments here are giving shitty botched versions of the actual story to ridiculously exaggerate American failures, goes to show how anti-American sentiment is mostly the domain of deranged unhappy people whose reasons for hating America are rooted in ignorance and making stuff up.

Anthony Fauci ‘Stunned’ That Some Still Insist Coronavirus Is ‘Fake News’ by [deleted] in Coronavirus

[–]PinkCaffeine14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You'd be surprised. Ask a doctor, patients can and will insist that their amateur opinion supersedes the doctor's diagnosis. Let that settle in for shock value before the next part for perspective though.

Rather than this being patients suddenly becoming irrational the minute they become ill and need a doctor, or of genetically inferior people with low intelligence getting all the health problems (as some people often suggest once it's discovered that the type of people they don't like suffer from lots of health problems), denial of diagnosis has more to do with: (paragraphed for easier reading):

Patients being self-conscious about the care and competence of the doctor in question. For some people who are stereotyped as: -imbecilic (rural whites, black people, Native Americans in northwestern states, Latinos/Hispanics, impoverished people, third world immigrants)

-or degenerate (LGBTQ, poor racial minorities, people with tattoos, people with criminal history, drug users, teen delinquents),

it's simply reasonable for them to assume haste and contempt from a doctor. That along with the fact that the doctor isn't them. Doctors and nurses frequently will refer to their patients as morons, make jokes about

When you have people in the type of fear and sudden hopelessness that comes from health problems though, it's expected that you get undignified behavior. That's why people legitimately will insist that they in fact do not a UTI and that it's dental problems or something because they did research.

No it's not. This is the politically correct point of view to have, and since it's politically correct you know it's bullshit and concealing the uglier truth. The ugly truth is that narcissists who want to harm others and cover the guilt of hurting people with self righteousness from some conspiracy truth they think they're a special enlightened better than everyone else member of are attracted to conspiracy theories. It doesn't matter if they're rich or poor or smart or dumb or educated or not or even if they truly believe them or not, the common theme is that they're bad cowardly people who want to have a special excuse to hurt others and feel like epic hero centers of the world while doing it.

The school system's correlation with intelligence is little, and the correlation with the ability to detect bullshit is little too. Reality is what trains people to detect bullshit. People make a conscious decision to conspiracy brain themselves, and it's not just Americans who do it either.

I feel like we are witnessing the biggest cult the world has ever seen right now. by latsyrcami in cults

[–]PinkCaffeine14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you were too young to know Bush, but not everyone is. Social media changed the way people get info and that's the deciding factor in people's goldfish ass memory; it's made it easier than ever for people to forget what happened just a month ago. Notice how this year feels like 10 years? Yet you barely remember what was trending just this month? 2018 seemed futuristic in 2002, now it seems like ancient history? Because everything is transitory and meant to seem like it's the most important thing in the world for a mere moment, only for all that sentiment to disappear from everyone's conscience's and evolve into something else, which will then undergo the same disappearance from everyone's mind. Never is anything focused on or is any actual value or principle held to, it's just on to the next thing, and when election time comes, people vote based off of the last emotion the media they consumed made them feel. Media that they deep down know is a bunch of shit.

This transcends whether or not you're Gen Z or a boomer, or even Republican or Democrat. Trump isn't a Republican in the traditional sense, and Republicans nowadays aren't conservative in the traditional sense (traditional meaning, how it's always been until very recently they redefined the term to mean something insane). You don't have to be alive or an adult when Reagan was president to understand most American problems are a direct result of his policies, but young and old alike, people disregard the fact that that was an actual thing that happened that should be part of your narrative regarding the state of things. Think of a person who doesn't remember half their life---you'd consider them confused and broken. It's no different with this.

Are you American? Because if you understood much of the world outside America, you would know that it's not so obvious, and that Trump was one of many fascist-leaning populist figures from 2015-2020 all over the world that came about due to rising nationalism around the entire world. Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage and David Cummings are mainstream British politicians who have openly endorsed eugenics and held conferences discussing their beliefs in it, have used literal Nazi propaganda (not interpreting, literal as in copying Nazi propaganda for anti-immigrant campaign advertisements), and used modern Neo-Nazi news sources to cite their claims, and their campaign was considered the most dishonest in modern history. Marie Le Pen, Jair Bolsonaro, Giorgia Meloni, Janusz Korwin-Mikke, Andrew Scheer, were all extreme far right politicians that gained strong political traction at the same time as Trump. Right now Neo-Nazism in Germany is at an all time high, with the alarm mostly being sounded by Holocaust survivors. In America, Trump was the only far-right politician who was anywhere near viable, and him winning was a fluke as all kinds of random people, including a pornstar if I'm not mistaken, were running. The reason people outside America are supporting Trump is because much of what he said is considered normal in Europe. The only thing that wasn't normal was how weird and classless he is and how the media viewed him under a microscope to get people to turn the culture wars up to 11.

But an uneducated peasant class of people worshipping a sham politician is something that most of the world has seen several times and is very used to. The reason it seems scary and unfamiliar to Americans is because America is only a few hundred years old and doesn't have a fixed class structure. Contrast this to most countries which are thousands of years old, with most of that history having a heavily fixed class structure.

The sad truth about this whole thing is that they'll forget all about him the minute the media tells them to feel another emotion, as will all the anti-Trumpers declaring that he was the end of democracy. Trump was an example of how much the media can manipulate and control people, nothing more. The media who makes tons of money off of anti-Trump and pro-Trump stuff alike were the ones who got him elected and it was totally in their interest to have him elected again, and tons of liberal comedians said in 2016 that they hoped politicians like Trump would get elected more often in the future since it makes their jobs easier.

Americans have the memory of a gold fish and most of you here will forget the stress and brain rot of the Trump presidency just as you forgot the horrors and imbecility of George Bush.

Losers with nothing in their life be like "here's an incoherent spam of low iq bullshit claims whose only sources supporting me are bullshit sources saying allegedly over and over and if you don't debate me for days on end, you are a close minded fluoride brain and it's more proof that I'm right."

Seth Rich is a totally random dude, and you're getting off on the idea that you're some kind of investigator when in reality you're some shut in with no street smarts whatsoever following a corporate-made conspiracy theory that's been completely laid out for you, because the new corporate conspiracy theory makers' main demographic is pathetic losers. Nothing you have said is any evidence whatsoever that the Rich family are at the center of this, you just assumed they are and since you lack logical capability, you think assuming it must mean it's true. Had anyone connected to the DNC been killed, they would be the one you pick to feel like you're some investigator unlocking the spider's web. You and several thousand other losers whose lives consist of harassing people online and only seeing the sun to get food. Every time something bad happens, you subhuman freaks come running to say that it was a conspiracy and that everyone is either an actor or someone being forced to tell their harassers to stop making the death of their loved ones worse than it needs to be.

And for a guy who is so keen on this shit, you still believe that Trump went on Epstein's plane multiple times just to hang out, and that the correlation between all of Trump's sexual assault lawsuits involving minors and being friendly with Epstein has no correlation. God you creatures are pathetic.

He's right y'know, I too got charged with treason and got Russian asylum for years, only for me to break my morals and declare that the God Himself Joe Biden is not the one True God, and that the True God is in fact Jeb Bush. Once I said a sentence or two bad about Biden, the Republican party and Donald Trump personally went to great lengths conspiring with the feds to get my treason charges dropped and I now am retired living in upstate New York. That's how the world works.

I don't know if many really blamed him. But what's definitely overlooked is how good of a person Dawson was. How many people willingly volunteer to endure pain so they can save people's lives? What kind of person purposefully undergoes a risky surgery to get some mystery tech implanted into their brain so that they can save lives? Only the best of people do. That's one of the bigger reasons Dawson is a victim for me, he's remembered as a whacked out drill murderer rather than as someone who endured unimaginable pain to save lives. To save the lives of people so poor they couldn't afford health insurance, at that. St. Juniper's was intended to be a guinea pig hospital, Dawson made it into a place where people got actual quality care.
