I can't remember the last time that someone put the right tilt/skew on the font in this meme to make it actually look like it should from this angle. Looks perfect, well done!

The enemy of my enemy applies splendidly here. Two ideological opponents competing for your attention is an improvement by every metric.

Nothing. It's just meant to distract you for long enough to sell more chunks of your country off to corporations.

What is Rittenhouse is the next false flag? They sure have been pushing for war for the longest time. What is all this is just a psyop where they make you think the kid will walk and then they throw the book at him, trying to incite some shit. Then they can intellectually masturbate about it like they've done with January 6th, then use that as an excuse to seize more power through legislation.

It's not a cheap trip

The primary governor is just costs

So you're saying there's no economic motivation for developing space travel technology?

The problem with believing what you just said is that it works against you by making the elephant in the room even larger. Given human ingenuity and drive; given von Braun's dedication; given the extensive research and development of new materials, all meticulously documented: Why, then, have we not been able to go back? How exactly has it gotten more difficult? It's not like NASA exploded to shreds and everything was lost. It's not like all the engineers were executed. There were lessons learned. Advancements made. Modern computer technology is lightyears ahead of what we had back then. We have better materials, better manufacturing standards, and the scientific value of developing that technology has always and will always be infinite.

You would have me believe that all these things you give as proof...these things that convince you that the moon landings happened...that they only existed for a couple of decades of the last century, and formed a perfect storm of ideal conditions to achieve arguably the greatest feat of human kind, but they've become completely unattainable to us in this day and age when almost every facet of technology and engineering has advanced by leaps and bounds since then...my friend, you are going to have to work extra hard to sell me that bridge.

Well yeah, but that still doesn't prove it 100%. What if they tried to build a craft but it didn't really work? It would certainly look real, and there would be dozens of engineers who could testify that they worked on it, and there'd be receipts for the materials used, and manuals and logs and everything else.

That type of approach to evaluating the plausibility of something is riddled with unknown holes, and it's arbitrary to boot i.e. everyone has a different threshold for how much of that type of evidence is enough. That means this type of evidence really isn't conclusive.

My point is that I can't just accept a video/photo as described to me. I can claim to have a video of X event, it doesn't mean that's what you're really looking at. The "video of bigfoot" would look identical to a "video of a guy dressed as bigfoot", so calling it a "video of bigfoot" is already making too many unchallenged assumptions of what that video represents. Same with a video of a guy putting something somewhere.

I believe the Sasquatch video by itself is next to worthless in terms of proving the existence of Sasquatch.

There's a video of bigfoot.

There's hardware (at least one retroreflector) Apollo left on the moon that many people around the world have pinged with lasers

That doesn't mean someone went and put it there, necessarily.

The more time passes, the more clear it becomes that the space race was just more cold war shenanigans. Imagine if you are commander in chief and the Soviets manage to pull off their space hoax. Are you just gonna let them get away with it, knowing it's bs? Or are you going to try to 1up them and stage your own? The only people who could call you out also risk exposing themselves.

Here's a fun experiment: Whenever something noteworthy happens in the news that goes against the narrative, try searching for it on google followed by "reddit". A lot of the times you'll get several results at the top of the list, all pointing to the bigger subreddits. But when you click the link you'll find the submission had been removed, but not before it gained enough clicks to be indexed by google.

I did it during the Netflix Cuties scandal, when lots of people were attacking netflix for producing softcore kiddy porn. There were articles explaining the situation and why people were pissed off, but they got removed from all the subreddit. Makes it pretty easy to see their agenda.

should affect things equally regardless.

Well here's the thing, it does. The way gravity works according to mainstream scientists totally jives with what you are describing. You're making up your own description about how gravity works, and then complaining that it doesn't match reality. No shit.

Because we are not the size of a fucking trillion ton ocean.

If you were, then you would feel gravity strongly.

Likewise if you took a scoop of ocean about the size of you, it'd be just as easy to lift it as far as you can jump.
