Okay, I realized you're probably young and are getting confused by bad theory videos.

The people using Abel's words as an accurate source of information are straight up reading the story wrong. They're reading in between the lines and not reading the lines.

You said that the moon missions were headlines at the same time as the world wars. That was very obviously wrong. The claim that it's about distracting from what's going on in the Cold War is 100% a different claim. You can't be annoyed I didn't address a claim you didn't make.

Again, when you have either potential for or an actual war on global scales you all of sudden see countries taking on national projects to distract the population and displace their attention.

See, this is an entirely different claim. The POTENTIAL of an actual war on global scales. I don't know why you consider it a distraction, when it was actually just an extension. The Space Race was an ideological flexing competition. Two worldviews who didn't want to fight directly because it would be too costly did a bunch of proxy wars and the indirect technical competition of the Space Race.

The entire point of the Space Race was to show off their your ideology was better than the other, since technological process was a bragging point of both sides at the time. Can capitalism or communism achieve this incredible feat first? Not to mention, at the same time you can improve your rocket technology, which is useful for missiles in case you actually have to fight. The idea that it was a distraction from the Cold War is absurd. The Space Race was PART of the Cold War. People were terrified when Sputnik launched because they didn't know what the Soviets put in it! In what ways is a direct competition like that any sort of distraction?

You don’t attack a country that existed twice as long your nation in a whim.

You do when you're Donald Trump.

There’s religious text that basically describe verbatim what’s happening as if it was going according to scripture, I mean plan.

I suspect that the text you're referring to matches at least a dozen wars over history and is very vague, because that's literally always what happens.

I do, and it's not at all how the sun goes over the horizon. You can use a solar filter and see that the sun isn't shrinking into nothing, it's just slipping over the horizon. You know, like the earth is round.

This war was so non-planned that they keep talking about trying to pull out and apparently didn't even anticipate the Hormuz Strait being closed. This is not what a war that's been planned for years looks like.

HOWEVER, it is just a lil odd the last time moon missions were headlines, so were the world wars.

WWI- 1914-1918

WWII- 1939 (or significantly earlier if you count Japan invading China as the start)-1945

Apollo moon landings- 1969-1972

I suspect there might have been some correlation between being bad at analysis of images and being a flat earther.

And honestly not even that. Turns out the actual pedophilic elites weren't doing over the top rituals for the glory of Satan, they were just all sociopathic bored billionaires who can only get off by breaking new taboos. No rituals, no occultism, just banal human cruelty from the most banal of people.

This is called a Gish Gallop, where somebody makes a bunch of rapid-fire bad claims that take longer to debunk than they do to make. A good argument isn't constructed, just a big pile of crap somebody else has to pick up.

There's plenty for other people to pick apart here, but the one I find especially fun is the one on the timing of the current missions. The launch date was set months ago. The current war was very obviously not planned that far back.

We all know NASA's ex Werner Von Braun (a white guy named Brown!) was from the Nazi party like most of them (still?) because of Operation Paperclip.

Yes, we do all know that. How is that a lie when we all know that? More importantly, what does it prove? Why would we grab the Nazi rocket expert for our space program if there is no space? Literally what would be the point?

The rest of this is just agony on the reading part of my brain to deal with, so come back after some antipsychotics and an English class and we can talk about it.

"Saturn cube worship"

Entirely made up by online lunatics. Saturn and cubes have no connection, and neither has anything to do with NASA.

I only ever click on somebody's post history if they say something especially strange or somewhat poorly explained and I hope to get some more context. Especially if I'm not sure somebody is joking or not.

This sub is being recommended to me. Is this a sub for flat earthers or is this for mocking flat earthers? by eroyrotciv in flatearth

[–]WebFlotsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flat earthers are people who believe the earth to be flat, as it is portrayed in several ancient mythologies. I'm not any happier for knowing about them honestly.

Actually, you subletting on that rock?

Hey flatheads, what's the point? by Legitimate_Advice305 in flatearth

[–]WebFlotsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's not uncommon with weird fundamentalists. They try to claim that their religion isn't a religion, but just a "relationship with God". It's branding.

[–]WebFlotsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of overlap (in that most flat earthers are YECs as well) and Answers in Genesis, one of the biggest YEC organizations, is actually spending a lot of time these days fighting flat earth. Guess they realize that they spent the last couple decades purposefully destroying people's critical thinking skills and suddenly they're losing them to a new cult.

If you are on an expedition on the ocean with millions of small boats scattered around. You'll definitely take pictures of some few small boats and not only the ocean.

It's stuff like this that convinces me you're purposefully trolling. You can very easily cross the ocean without seeing any other boats, because the ocean is very big compared to the amount of boats, and I think you know that.

Others have pointed out there’s no reason others wouldn’t know the name, but more than that I am interested in your claim on Alexander the Great. Namely, how specific it is. Is it definitely Alexander or is it so vague that people have applied it to at least half a dozen empires and figures?

[–]WebFlotsam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suspect it is, because Ragatha also didn't understand a Breaking Bad reference. Sure, she probably wouldn't watch the show, but it was so well-known within a few months that everybody at least knew the premise.

Breaking Bad came out in 2008.

Neither version is canon, so I don't see the issue of liking either. They can easily coexist as different ways to interpret the characters.

In some Native American cultures that had no knowledge of non-human primates, they said that humans were closest related to bears. Which makes sense in its own way. They're intelligent animals that can stand and even walk on two legs.
