Blow my mind with some fringe shit that a lib would never even entertain, please, I’m bored

Death to America

very timely: the democratic leadership literally wanted Roe overturned. Evidence: Joe Biden’s record and being a catholic. Nancy Pelosi’s a Cath and campaigns for pro-life dems.

I mean, is this a conspiracy or just pointing out a material history of personal statements combined with material political actions? You’re right though.

Ban religious people from all levels of governance. Belief in magic should disqualify you from running society.

Yeah but you asked for things that we know to be true but also where we don’t have proof.

i’m more convinced the ancaps were invented by the university system to catch libs than the government itself. Every anarchocapitalist is some weird college debate nerd. The government is perfectly content killing class consciousness through either directly murdering through poverty or throwing treats around to confuse everyone

aw shit I posted when the thread was young and played it safe.

Here’s a fun one: Blizzard commissioned porn of Overwatch characters during the initial advertising blitz for that game. There’s no other explanation for ubiquitous it was and how quickly it fell off once the game actually released.

The 2004 Ohio election (first afaik to use electronic voting machines after the 2000 debacle) was straight up rigged, which directly led to Bush winning. There’s no “smoking gun” but the difference between exit polls and official results indicates that votes were somehow flipped. This is not the only case where major discrepancies exist between exit polls and “official” results. There are many other cases of this happening, including in the 2016 and 2020 Dem primary.

EDIT: Here’s a great article on the topic:

The first major indication that serious voter fraud had been committed was when the wide unexplainable discrepancies began to appear between the exit polls and actual vote counts and they all favored Bush.

Experts say exit polling is the most reliable polling because unlike pre-election polls, in which voters are asked to predict future behavior, exit polls interview people leaving the voting box about an act that they just completed.

On the basis of exit polls in 2004, CNN predicted that Kerry would defeat Bush in Ohio by a margin of 4.2%, but in the end Bush supposedly won Ohio by 2.5%.

In fact, precincts where Bush received at least 80% of the vote, the exit polls were off by an average of 10%, a pattern that experts say indicates Republican election officials stuffed the ballot box in those precincts.

Bush also tallied 6.5% more votes than the polls had predicted in Pennsylvania, and 4.9% more in Florida. According to Steven F Freeman, a visiting scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, who specializes in research methodology, the odds against all 3 of those shifts occurring in concert was one in 660,000.

“As much as we can say in sound science that something is impossible,” he says, “it is impossible that the discrepancies between predicted and actual vote count in the three critical battleground states of the 2004 election could have been due to chance or random error.”

Mr Freeman made a point of telling Robert Kennedy Jr in an interview for an article in Rolling Stone Magazine that he’s no Democrat lover. “I’m not even political — I despise the Democrats,” he said. “I’m a survey expert. I got into this because I was mystified about how the exit polls could have been so wrong.”

But Mr Freeman also said in Rolling Stone, “When you look at the numbers, there is a tremendous amount of data that supports the supposition of election fraud.”

I remember this being an incredibly hot topic amongst security tech people I know at the time and then it just sort of disappeared. They took the attitude that any election done with that kind of voting machine was totally illegitimate, but the US continued regardless. I suspect the reason is because both parties use it now. It was essentially a tech advantage that the Democrats caught up to.

Yup. And Snowden showed us that the state is as capable as it is unaccountable. Oh, it’s not connected to the internet? Neither was that Iranian centrifuge.

There’s no crazy conspiracy theory there. It all happened exactly like that. The DNC, led by Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Admitted In Court they Rigged Primaries Against Sanders.

A Federal Judge dismissed the lawsuit after DNC attorneys argued that the DNC would be well within their rights to rig primaries and select their own candidate.

Assad was not behind the chemical weapons released in Ghouta Douma (I mixed them up in my memory I think) in 2013 2018. It’s impossible to know for sure what happened, it could’ve been basically any faction for any number of reasons. But it seems highly unlikely that Assad would cross the one thing the US specifically said was a red line for intervention. Chemical weapons don’t give enough of an advantage to take that risk. It’s more likely that some faction did it in hopes of drawing the US into the war (or by the US itself). The media was very quick to equate doubts about whether the weapons were linked to Assad with denial of the presence of chemical weapons at all, and both were answered with the horrific images and what kind of monster would defend this and so forth. I remember hearing later, once everyone had forgotten about it, that there was an official report where the original version, which included input from people on the ground when it happened, was completely scrapped and nobody ever saw it, and a second report was put together in Washington with nobody on the ground involved, which was based entirely on the video evidence everyone saw, which just showed evidence that the sarin gas was present.

I don’t have any way to know or prove what happened, I just think the official narrative doesn’t make any sense if you expect Assad to act in a remotely rational way as opposed to a cartoon villain. And I sound crazy for bringing it up because everyone’s forgotten it even happened. Hexbear is basically the only place on the internet where I can ever mention it.

Wasn’t this basically confirmed when the relevant UN institution for investigating this silently recanted their initial statement? I don’t think it’s a conspiracy as much as it just got memory holed like a bunch of other similar shit.

I wasn’t aware of that part. I still kind of consider it a conspiracy because it goes against consensus reality and I can’t prove it.

I saw that the Wikipedia listed the perpetrator as, “Likely Assad,” which is kinda funny. Like, make what you will of that lol.

You (or SWIM) should edit that to “unknown”, and link it to a relevant section (which probably exists) discussing the possible responsible parties.

Agreed. The cost of using chemical weapons so wildly outweighs the benefits that I want a very, very high burden of proof that it actually happened, and more that it was a government actor using them.

  1. Trump says no more war in Syria.

  2. McCain is outraged, flys to Syria immediately.

  3. Comes back a week later, after having met with rebels.

  4. Chemical weapon attack, very conveniently cancelling Trump’s peace plan.

  5. Profit!
