As ridiculous as FE seems, prima facie, until it's proven false, I keep my mind open to plausible explanations for why:
A) the moon landings were all fake and we've never "been back"
B) there are no actual photos of the entire earth from space (unless you believe the sizes of the continents are changing by 30-60% every decade or so)
C) the only people on earth that we give billions of dollars to, to go to space, are faking any, let alone much (or all) of the footage, using green screens, parabolic "zero gravity" flights, actual hair spray to make their hair stand up, underwater studios (unless you believe in air bubbles in space)
You might say "but these items have better explanations than FE". Well let's hear those theories also. Let's not shoot down those who are proposing an outlandish, yet mostly comprehensive, theory, one that explains these anomalies as well as a plethora of others, like how did they use radio frequencies that don't even purportedly bounce off the ionosphere to communicate hundreds of miles during WWII, how can the horizon be seen above an item whose entirety should be hidden behind it, why is Antarctica, aside from a tiny portion, entirely off limits to most civilians, how was Felix Baumgartner able to slowly float up to nearly 30 miles without drifting a thousand or more miles because of the earth's rotation, etc.
Suggestions that these things are not even worthy of discussion, on a forum dedicated to conspiracy theories, have to be disingenuous.
Original Research
Let's not also forget that FE researchers are literally the only conspiracy theorists doing original research. These people will buy lasers that cost thousands of dollars, cameras, etc., and go to some large body of water (large lakes, bays, etc.) where they can test their hypothesis with an actual experiment. Everything else I see on here is pure speculation, or videos of interviews involving various professionals with dubious backstories (Malone, etc.).
Does it Matter
Pertaining the "would it even matter" argument, you honestly don't need a lukewarm IQ to imagine how much it would matter, if FE was real.
Principles
Most of us are here because we couldn't speak freely elsewhere, because "hate has no place on our platform" type communist bullshit. Now we're going to make the same kind of rules, especially banning arbitrary content that is desired by a clear majority, on a platform with already-existing mechanisms for getting rid of low quality postd (downvoting, hiding)? If FE posts are banned, this place is no better than TGA, and don't even pretend to be pro constitution when you can't even stand up for free speech about a conspiracy theory in a conspiracy theory forum.
I'm out of here, for good, if FE is banned. Aside from spam, illegal, doxxing, banning has no place on our platform.
The blue marble? Take that pic and compare it to the rest of the crap that NASA has given us.
"Drinkbleach"...you should change your name to this.
Thanks for admitting that pictures of the entire earth from space have been taken, as well as video, as well as a live stream from GEO that you can watch 24/7. You’re a paid shill and a federal agent here for no reason other than to poison the well. Fellate a shotgun.
I'm a paid shill. I'm not the one screaming drink bleach on a website all day.
YOU ARE NOT HUMAN
Yawn.
You’re either an incredibly useful idiot…
Or a shill.
The latter is arguably less offensive.
After further thought, there are pics from the chinese version of NASA. Those count?
Count as what, federal agent? You don’t give a shit about objective reality. You’ve already admitted that. Your own arbitrary whims define the world in accordance with the release of dopamine in your body. Nothing “counts.” There’s no objectivity. You’re just a penis floating in a void you can neither prove nor communicate to others. That’s the sun total of your existence, as per the foundational tenets of your belief system. It doesn’t matter to you what “counts,” because you’ll just arbitrarily alter countenance depending on how it makes you feel.
You’re not human. You don’t matter.
Holy fucking shit. Comic gold!
I dont give a shit about reality! You're right, society reality can kiss my ass! I dont know the shape of the earth! You dont either!! All we Know is What we have been told! Maybe we've been lied to!!! Doesn't hurt you much to talk about it!!!
I make my reality. Family is the rock, so my reality stays close. Reality for me is not pissing away my days on a website.
YOU ARE NOT HUMAN
Then you’re too stupid to comment on the topic and you have conceded your privilege of being listened to or taken seriously forever more there on.
I know.
You’re clinically insane. This is not how knowledge works.
