just like it was wrong about the election fraud? or the hunter biden laptop, or the jan 6th calls or the origin of the virus or the fact that you cant get infected if you have been vaccinated.
Correct, they were wrong about all of that. Recounts have turned up no election fraud, it takes massive logical leaps to assume that laptop is Hunter's, I'm not sure what you mean by "Jan 6th calls," and the vaccine stuff was just ignorance of how vaccines work in general.

its odd you'd pick the vaccine as your hill too when pfizer has been caught lying before about their meds and yet its hailed as a panacea
It's a good thing Pfizer isn't the only option for vaccination then. I'm skeptical of big pharma in general (including Merck), but if there's one thing you can count on them for, it's chasing the profit motive. If the vaccines were ineffective, all the governments of the world would be demanding their money back.

Like I said, believe anything and you'll fall for anything. The perfect mark for conmen. You probably still believe there's a basement under Comet Ping Pong where child sex trafficking occurs, too.

if i can offer you one piece of advice, dont go around assuming you know anything about me, thanks. Secondly, i dont know enough about that story to have an opinion. your little quip applies to you to you know.

Appreciate the warning, but I'm not particularly conspiracy-minded. They were fun thought exercises back when the focus was on stuff like bigfoot and aliens, now it's all "Democrats are the root of all evil in the world." The truth of the matter is that most gripes conservatives have with the political sphere and society in general boil down to gripes with capitalism, and they just haven't reached that level of self-awareness yet.

If you're riddled with parasites then taking ivermectin to kill them off so you're healthier to fight off covid19 is probably a good idea. Anyone saying they are taking it is a little revealing of course.
That's debatable. It is believed by many scientists that the people in areas that have high amounts of parasitic infections may do better because of immunosuppression preventing cytokine storms. It will take a while to figure out all the nuances to tell what really helped or hindered recovery because of all of the variables.

its interesting you brought up capitalism as a problem because alot of uneducated people tend do that, must be a coincidence. I didnt ask if you were conspiracy minded but i am curious, how do you quantify a conspiracy? and what does it take in your mind for a conspiracy to become more than that?

Only someone completely blinded by nationalism would be foolish enough to claim that capitalism is a flawless system. Nothing created by humans is perfect.

Conspiracy has a very concise legal definition. "An agreement between two or more persons to engage jointly in an unlawful or criminal act, or an act that is innocent in itself but becomes unlawful when done by the combination of actors."

A conspiracy theory is nothing more than that, a theory that a conspiracy has occurred or is occurring, but with none of the facts or evidence to support it. If the only people you're capable of convincing exist in an echo chamber like Facebook or 4Chan, it's never gonna gain any ground with the mainstream, let alone anyone with two skeptical brain cells to rub together.

Eh I'm a pretty fast typist. Not so good with the "host personality" or story boarding for that format.


Are you fucking serious? You were one of Trump's staunchest defenders, and as far as I'm aware, you have yet to renounce that position. Your signature shows roundabout support for Putin and Russian propaganda. Authoritarianism in just about any form seems to give you a hard on.

This is coming from the guy that pushed Trump Russia collusion for 4 years.

When it's literally all came out that it was manufactured by the democratic party.

This is the guy calling other people conspiracy theorists.

And has Trump ever stopped acting like Putin's lapdog for a single day since? No. He's still sucking his dick in the midst of a war crime spree. Should tell you all you need to know.

Yeah, that thing has Putin's fingerprints all over it.
Nah it's just some random guy's laptop. Following conservative logic, Hunter Biden would've needed to fly two states over to give his laptop to some tiny electronics repair shop in the middle of nowhere. As if a family as rich as his wouldn't just call a repairman to come to them instead, lol.

Ah. When blaming Putin looks bad, you pretend to be conservative. Got it.

Uhh no...I said "following conservative logic." I didn't claim to be a conservative. Your reading comprehension seems to be going down the shitter fast.
I didn't claim that you were claiming to be a conservative. I said you were pretending, which is what you were doing. You put on a show for me and now you are realizing how dumb you looked. Then, deflection. Classic Xzi.

Nope, wasn't even pretending to be. That is literally the claim made by conspiracy theorists: that Hunter Biden flew two states over to give his laptop to an electronics repair shop nowhere close to where he lives or works. Not my fault if you weren't up to speed on the latest batshit insane theories circulating among your kin.

Yeah you were. Instead of confronting the "Russian disinformation" hoax you brought in this alternative line of thinking, as if it were more ridiculous. I don't care if you think I am conservative, but you are the one entertaining the line and mocking it. It literally is your pretense.
