Sounds like someone trying to monetize the obvious again.

When I see posts on sites like this based around subscription and idolization.....I don't think they are offering much. Why substack?? Money.....


Anyone can make a website for free and blog.....they use these sites for their 'reach' and payments....

It's not about the truth...it about the subscribers.

2020-22 was the uncontested heyday of conspiracy theorizing.

  1. We’re still in 2022, which means it can’t be a “heyday.”
  2. No, it has been worse before.

and the overton window shifted. bigly.

To, we now know, absolutely no effect.

the best way to convince people to disbelieve the theory of evolution is not with facts and direct argument, it’s to make sure that the first time they hear about it is from a guy in tinfoil trench coat describing “natural selection” as a eugenics program by which the lizard people who secretly rule us have been breeding humanity to make us a yummier food source.

Except macroevolution still has zero evidence anywhere…

but look what it links to “satanism.” it’s basically taking the values of intellectual endeavor, independence, and the enlightenment and making them mephistophelean.

Yes, and? That’s literally what they claim to be, and what they’ve worked toward for quite a while. It didn’t need to be faked; that’s what they actually say. It’s called lying, by the way.

it’s a short hop from going to far on “klaus schwab eats live puppies when no one is looking” to “oh, those WEF critics are a bunch of loons, don’t listen to a word they say.” so let’s not go there.

Right; he only rapes children. He doesn’t eat live puppies.
