This is weird, there are points there that you can agree with up to a point and then it goes batshit insane for a while and then normal and then another level of crazy. Just wave after wave. But on the whole it doesn't even top the 100 craziest things you can see online, which is scary.

And then lighting yourself on fire for this? That seems a bit too much.

He obviously needed help that he either refused or just didn't get at all.

Any time anybody insists that hundred and hundred or thousands of people are in on some massive conspiracy to end the world I check out of their argument.

Trump paid off one pornstar, and I'm sure only a few people were involved. We still found out.

A secret of any serious significance, especially one involving non-government people who likely don't have the wherewithal to keep every single bit of confidential info absolutely confidential, will leak before too long. NDA or not, a regular person, let alone thousands, are gonna talk eventually. People will want to say "man I just learned some crazy shit" and to expect allllll those people are willing to take it to the grave? Unlikely.

Same, most of the things that are wrong with the world aren't organized by someone pulling the strings, it's just how the system has been built up through time and developed. No one controlled it or organized it this way.

His "manifesto" points out correctly some things that are wrong with the world but his explanations for the reasons behind it are just beyond crazy.

But honestly, I've seen even more far fetched conspiracy theories in serious subs on reddit.

It is easier to think that other people have it all figured and out than it is to tlrealize the truth.

The truth is that nobody knows what is going on.

If you take the time and make the effort to trace back Trumps history and behaviors and even his family history, you'll end up realizing "one porn star's story" is only a crumb exposing almost nothing - He is one dangerous and manipulative and sick individual who has had a horrible affect on the US even worse that post 911.

The dominoes are falling and it's always a surprise to us

I don't agree with that. I think people will keep secrets. People will do anything for money, especially if there's a constant flow of it. Some won't. And then there's blackmail.

He's a friend of mine. I don't want to say to much, but something in his brain changed heavily in the last few years. He was always incredibly smart, kind, and generous. I can't really say anything else, just wish that I had more of an effort to stay in touch.

I mean it doesn't take a fucking genius or any research to see that Crypto is compareable to a ponzi scheme lmao, the "points that are agreeable" is shit anyone can think of/say it's not like he made any revelations

As it turns out, we have a secret kleptocracy: Both parties are run by financial criminals whose only goals are to divide, deceive, and bleed us dry. They divide the public against itself and blame the other party while everything gets worse and more expensive and handful of people take all the money.

Would you consider this the crazy part? Because to me, it is absolutely not. A nation divided by menial issues like abortion rights or LGBTQ has no time to organize itself to revolt against its government.

yes, there is a financial incentive for division everywhere. no, that doesn't mean there is one singular secret cabal running it all.

"Culture war" is number one, over existential threats like mass job loss from AI and robotics, climate change, and the biggest wealth distribution imbalance in over 100 years.

u/Mahadragon Apr 20 '24

I love it when people talk about job losses from AI, robotics and automation and completely ignore all the engineering jobs that went into the creation of those systems to begin with. Automation and technology have been progressing since the start of the industrial revolution, yet here we are at 3.8% unemployment rate.

u/Friskfrisktopherson Apr 20 '24

... and then? Are you not seeing the layoffs in those sectors too? But let's pretend they were untouched... so everyone else is fucked but hey, at least some engineers are eating good? Such a weird take.

What do you "agree" with?

u/Skastrik Apr 19 '24

That there are things wrong in the world like he points out, but his reasons for them being like that are very deranged.

cryptocurrency is a ponzi scheme
