I respect it. We need more of this.

I don't know and I was wrong seems to be some of the hardest things to say

I live in the country with Ampilatwatja and Jarlmadangah Burru. This is nothing

it takes balls to do this online and admit your mistake, and even warn others

my dude is a fucking legend

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 1 week ago

Props to Ranty, too.

It was nice to see this meme in reverse for once.

Aye it's the humanity problem.

Surrounding yourself with people that believe nonsense only reinforces the idea; it really plays into our necessity of "group".

Gotta give props to the guy for getting out of the cycle.

[–] confluence@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

And for trying to pull the group along, as futile as it may be.

Not often you get to see the clown take off their makeup.

That FTC guy who went "ha ha! I actually hate the Telecom industry and I will restore net neutrality!". Except he needed only 2 panels.

[–] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do tell us the story - who is this?

[–] ours@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Tom Wheeler. Sorry, I had to look up the name. He succeeded the professional ass clown that was Ajit Pai, seemed like another Republican Telecom shill coming from the industry to further errode the regulatory agency.

Turns out he had made his start in Telecom and the big players ate up his small company. He seemed to have joined them but he secretly had an ax to grind or at least the public's best interest in mind.

Top notch guy. Greatest anime betrayals right there.

Yo that’s actually amazing.

Two hops this time.

Turning over to the round side seems to have garnered a lot more views. I wonder whether he would have stayed flat if it were otherwise. After all many more are making content online in the hopes of money and fame than in some quest for truth.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

If only there was some way to do this to the MAGA cultists...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Looks like he lost weight too. Good for him.

GRAVITY IS A SCAM!! Try pissing upside down. Checkmate, whatever this is.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

Scientist are stupid removed because they're liars, Sometimes. Gravity is a complete scam! Ask a scientist, any scientist to explain gravity to you. They can't. Newton thought he could, but then Einstein came and proved he was a liar and a little removed. Einstein thought he could, but then some other scientist proved he was a liar and a removed. So how do we know they're all not lieing removed. /S

Hear me out guys, what if he is not a flat earther rather did the youtube channel to change flat earthers who joined him to change their concept. Man doing lords work.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago

Good, another one has deceived. /s

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't think the vast majority of self-proclaimed flat earthers actually believe that shit

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Most of the big names in the flerf community are grifters, for sure. But many of the people who follow them are genuine believers. I have a relative who's a die-hard flerfer.

Sheeps and Neeps was a small time flerfer who literally died because his conspiracy theory beliefs about cancer treatment, and there was that guy who went up in a rocket and came down in pieces. So some of them really do believe it. In my relative's case, he went through a lot of trauma, flerfers give him a sense of belonging and something to hold onto.

I don't believe that, even if they say they do, I don't believe that they actually believe it
