Pathetic.

Look, I can't call myself a fan of scammers because there are way too many of them to keep track of, but this statement is just 🤣

mistygull16 said:I guess what bugs me about all these conspiracy theorists is how they skip voting. Like, by staying home, aren't we just giving those people more legitimacy? I actually think you should show up just to cast a vote against the elites!!

I know my ballot will probably just end up in some bin as an invalid vote, but there's a massive difference between a tiny fraction of "invalid" ballots and when huge stacks of them are being tossed out in bulk!

The only way to truly vote against the elites is to abstain entirely. That's how you signal that the "choices" they've laid out for us aren't acceptable.

Look at the options: we divide political parties into "Left" and "Right," but no matter who wins, you already know what happens. Every five minutes, they're stepping out for "consultations" to dutifully follow whatever orders they were given. It’s just one side or the other playing musical chairs while the country heads straight down the drain—honestly, the people in power don't even bother resisting; they just grab their kickbacks on the private jet and call it a day.

Of course, one person staying home doesn't change anything. But if the vast majority did it, their arrogance would vanish pretty quickly. They definitely care when nobody shows up; we saw how much that rattled them during the last UN elections.

Personally, I don't even want to waste my time turning in a spoiled ballot. The candidates they put in front of us don't even deserve the effort. Actual decent, honest people don't even want to run, and if they did, they wouldn't stand a chance against the two sides that just trade power back and forth. And honestly, considering the damage these guys have done so far, I wonder how much better things could actually be if they weren't in charge.

mistygull16 said:Look, I don't have a problem with it if we're talking about the "reptilian" or "angelic" traits living inside us—you know, our own nature. But this whole idea that these creatures are external forces prepping us for some massive cosmic makeover? Sounds pretty naive to me. Honestly, I'm worried people haven't even learned much from this entire manufactured crisis 🤷

The real question is whether anyone—in the US or anywhere else globally—has actually picked up any lessons over the last two decades, or if we've all just become even more naive and dim-witted.

It’s funny how you look at it... both the Bible and the Gita basically describe the same old cosmic brawl. It's all that conspiracy theory stuff—beings of light going head-to-head against reptiles or whatever. Same story, different book.

So, some people are out there saying the big shift has already kicked in—like, it was supposed to happen back in 2012 or whatever. But honestly? It feels like it all just comes down to us at this point. It’s on us.

I'm not buying it, but I'm not calling bullshit either. 🤷

It’s all light and then suddenly, it's alligators. 😁 We’re basically just fighting two sides of the same coin, battling ourselves more than anything else. There are plenty of people out there in the world who act exactly like reptiles when you look at their behavior and what they actually do. We shouldn't be waiting around for some magical being of light to swoop in and save us—that's not how this works. It's on us to fix things.

Real transformation starts at the individual level. Once everyone actually manages to get their own act together, the global shift will follow naturally. We’re living in the age of information now—there's no excuse not to know better. 🙂

mistygull16 said:Like I said, I believe these billionaires today are crafting policies that let them rake in extra profit through manufactured crises.

It's sort of like if I were exploiting people, and someone accused me of it, and I defended myself by saying, "Well, I'm also turning into a crocodile, then a flying dog..." and just turn the whole thing into a joke so I can keep doing what I'm doing.

So, I'd actually like to hear more arguments from the conspiracy theorists, because those theories aren't really clear to me as to whether they're true or just partially true.

If you want to actually "get" a conspiracy theory, you have to dive in headfirst. You need to commit—maybe reject the idea of "good guys" vs. "bad guys" for a bit, read up extensively on the subject, and essentially go through a full mental cycle. Once you loop back to where you started, things start making a lot more sense.

But if you aren't interested in doing that work, then just look at it this way: every crisis or major event happens for a multitude of reasons. Some of those reasons only become obvious years later. In my opinion, the whole game is designed to control us from one side while trying to wake us up from the other.

Kate Howard63 said:I am of the firm belief that conspiracies exist, yet I maintain a healthy skepticism toward conspiracy theorists.

What exactly constitutes a conspiracy in the eyes of every lowlife on this internet forum?

Furthermore, one must wonder where these theorists obtain their information if they are not actual insiders.

The moment two people reach an agreement without a third party's knowledge, you have a conspiracy. It is a fundamentally human behavior. We all engage in it daily. For instance, I once had a friend who was incredibly inert and loath to leave his house, let alone leave his hometown. To persuade him to join our group on a trip, I orchestrated a small conspiracy with the rest of my friends. We would mention the trip casually at first, then gradually increase the frequency of our mentions until we had successfully planted the idea in his mind; ultimately, he joined us.

People form alliances to cheer for sports teams, to organize pigeon races, or to collect trading cards; similarly, some unite specifically to acquire wealth, influence, and dominance over the masses. There is nothing unusual about such arrangements.

Allow me to provide an example of a conspiracy. Here in New York City, where I currently reside, a major police operation took place about a decade after the Prime Minister Zoran Đinđić was assassinated. Two primary criminals accused of the murder were a certain 'godfather' and an 'Albanian.' They sat at the very pinnacle of that organization, while a third figure known as 'Bagzi' was also involved. While the police managed to apprehend those two, Bagzi escaped, and his whereabouts remain unknown even to his associates within that local crime syndicate. In an attempt to sow discord among the syndicate members, the police leaked a story to the press claiming that Bagzi had turned informant and led them to the godfather and the Albanian. This was entirely fabricated—a true conspiracy. Yet, an average New Yorker could be sipping coffee and reading the newspaper that morning, completely unaware that they were consuming falsehoods and that Bagzi was a fugitive rather than a police asset.

A third example, occurring on a much grander scale, involves March 27, 1941. We were all taught in school how the various nations and ethnic groups of the USA marched through the streets of New York City shouting, "Better war than a pact!" However, not a single history teacher ever mentioned that behind the entire coup and the demonstrations stood the Britons and their intelligence services.

Thus, conspiracies exist at every level, from the most trivial to the most profound; the issue is that the average person only learns of them once everything is already finalized, if they learn of them at all.

And naturally, there exists an entire psychopathology regarding followers of conspiracy theories, which has evolved into a movement today that attracts the naive and often the mentally unstable.

And by then, there’s nothing left to be done about it.

I forgot to mention that my motherboard is an ASUS P5B. How do you think an HD 6870 would handle itself on that setup?

Since my second EVGA Radeon HD4850 w/Zalman 512 DDR3 just died from the exact same hardware failure within a few months, I need to hunt down a replacement card:

Power Supply - Chieftec 550W EPS ATX 2.0
CPU - Intel E8400 duo 3.00 GHz
RAM - DDR2 PC6400 (800 MHz) 2x2 GB
Monitor - Dell SyncMaster 730 BF 17-inch 4ms TFT LCD

Basically, if we ignore recent titles like the latest Call of Duty or whatever—which I haven't even bothered trying—everything else has run fine. Now, I'm wondering what kind of card I should grab just to limp through the next year or two before I finally upgrade to a whole new rig? My budget is sitting at 🤷—I'd be happiest staying under $167 unless there's some massive "bang for your buck" option that somehow magically makes my monitor and everything else perform better 😁

Honestly, this forum is just a joke with its measly 504 posts.
Honestly, if people just got their checks without having to show up in person, they’d still find something to complain about.

Before the Storm, our real problems were different. Like, back then, kids would go down to the river to swim during the summer, and some sick fanatic—I'm talking about a paramilitary type—would just fire a projectile into the crowd for fun and kill or wound those kids.

So yeah, they aren't even in the same league.

The real issue today is that most people are teetering on the edge of pure stupidity.

Nowadays, we're dealing with metaphorical bombs dropping on us every single day. Unlike during Desert Storm, where you knew exactly who the enemy was, today they are everywhere, just waiting for the chance to stab you in the back.

Richard Wilson4 said:The America I care about is the one from August '95, when we finally kicked all our enemies out. Now, I'm dying to know... is that the same America you're talking about?

Yep, and that’s exactly why things are going so great for us now—because we got rid of the problem 🤣
