Notice they hit on flat Earthers right out of the gate. The same guys that made the video would use NASA CGI to prove FE’s are batty because “EXPERTS”.
Those guys are most likely Catholics, we won’t dive into religion.

In other words, the official narrative is the last word/boundry so don’t cross it. Maroons that attempt stupid crimes are just maroons.

But rest assured that SOROS funds everything that happens. If it’s on TV it has to be true.

I’m not sure what you are getting at here.

The Catholic Church has never taught or promoted the Flat Earth nonsense.

It has, on the other hand, taught Geocentrism, officially.

It has also never changed that teaching in any official capacity. The Church still, to this day, has never changed its official teaching that the Earth is in the center of the Universe, and the Sun revolves around it.

Actual science experiments have shown this repeatedly, including the WMAP, COBE, and Plank projects. All indications show that the Earth is near or at the center of the universe, to the extent that we can see. There are others, as well.

The renewed flat earth nonsense is simply a psyop to distract people from the increasing preponderance of evidence that the Earth IS in the center of the universe. This nonsense started up again in 2014 in response to the movie “The Principle,” which weighed the evidence for and against a central Earth.

The people who wish to control you will always do so with violence or lies. The people who wish to set you free will only do so with truth, though they might defend you with force.

Maybe you should take a good look and pick a side?

There are multiple obvious scenarios where shooting someone is the solution . You live in La la land with your ideological nonsense . Mind you ,I’m not saying I have a burning desire to shoot anyone , just saying it is well within the realm of a reasonable possibility that it might be the correct action to take given specific circumstances . I’m almost always strapped with a fully load 45 w/ one in the chamber and an extra mag . And this after almost sixty years of never carrying .

WHEN THE “ICE AGE” FINALLY CAME TO AN END, GRADUALLY THE PEOPLE LIVING IN IT GRADUALLY CAME ‘BACK” IN CONTACT WITH A “HIGHLY ORGANIZED CIVILIZATION” WITCH THEY HAD LOST CONTACT WITH FOR 1000’s OF YEARS.
OVER A TIME THEY “LEARNED” FROM THESE PEOPLE “HOW TO LIVE CIVILIZED”…BUT…OVER A TIME THEY STARTED TAKING ADVANTAGE OF SITUATIONS “THEY WOULD CREATE” (PROBLEM-REACTION-SOLUTION)
RECALL???
THEN THEY “MISTAKENLY” ALLOWED “HIERARCHIES” TO TAKE OVER MANAGEMENT OF OUR DAILY AFFAIRS…THIS WAS THE BEGINNING OF HOW “POWER CORRUPTS”!
THIS HAS GONE-ON “UNCHECKED” UNTIL “NOW”…UNDERSTAND???
NOW THAT HUMANITY IS FINALLY “SEEING/AWAKENING” TO “EVIL” IT IS…THEY ARE “DEMANDING CHANGES”!
THE “WHITE ZIONIST” ARE SO PURELY EVIL, THEY ACTUALLY “BELIEVE” THEY WERE “ASSIGNED” TO RULE OVER HUMANITY…WHEN NEVER WAS THE CASE!
THE PLANET’S “FIRST-BORN” (BLACK/MELANIN PEOPLE) ALREADY WERE HERE…ALL OVER THIS PLANET…STARTING IN “AFRICA”.
ALL THAT IS NEED, IS FOR “EVERYONE HUMAN”, TO “RE-MEM-BER” THIS “FACT” ABOUT THE “ORDER OF CREATION”…UNDERSTAND???
WE NEED TO “RETURN TO MA-AT’…ABANDONING THE “RELIGIOUS” BE-LIE-VE SYSTEM FOR THE “SPIRITUALITY” WE ONCE HAD!!!

I was going to comment that it is probably more do the runaway egos, than idiocy. The establishment promotes ego at every turn. I think that plays into what you said.

The saying “Pride cometh before the fall “has borne itself out as axiomatic for me at least . Folks have also been trained by society that people don’t want to hear the real honest answer that should be given to many a question , which is simply ” I DONT KNOW . See , the whole Dunning and Kruger paper offered the postulate that more intelligent people were more aware of the things they don’t know and so tended to be less confident in their knowledge base than their less intelligent counterparts . That’s why ya got all these politicians and feral gruber-ment workers always trying a baffle us with bullshit , like we don’t know and it isn’t glaringly obvious to us that they are full of shit .Or even in the private sector ya got all these fast track to management cuz of their ” winning personality” types whom don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground as well .

a bit off topic but most of you guys will like it —
a leftist new yorker who winters in the keys walked out of a grocery store one night and walked by a truck that had trump stickers on it —
the stickers triggered him and he keyed the truck,not knowing that he was on video —
this is bodycam video of the cops going to his house and arresting him for a felony —
it was a felony b/c he scratched it enough that it has to be repainted and it will be in excess of $1,000 to repaint it,as $1,000 is the threshold in fla 4 a felony —

BODYCAM of TRIGGERED New Yorker. He keys Trump supporter’s car in Florida and then this happened.. (youtube.com)

According to whose judgement and against what measure? The opinion of the same masses who are delusional? Or “experts” who are regurgitating the current text book opinion?

If “I don’t know” is the “correct ” answer how is it possible to judge any answer?

I can offer an opinion I “know” to be “true”. The person in the video is extremely annoying. Yet his exceptionally annoying video has 74k upvotes.
