The fact that Turkish language doesn't have gendered pronouns makes this even funnier.

DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world · 41 pts · 298d (13 replies)

I don't know if this is disingenuous "reasoning" or, an honest position.

Ever since I came to understand that Flat Earthers weren't just trolls, like the way Birds Aren't Real folks ARE trolls, I've had trouble sussing out what's real and what's just bullshit "reasoning" to support bullshit ideals. I get now that I was just naive as to how incredibly stupid and evil people can be.

village604@adultswim.fan · 56 pts · 298d (1 reply)

Flat earthers actually started as a troll, but people are really fucking stupid.

halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 298d

Society obviously has a range of critical thinking capability. It used to be that every village had its idiot and the village knew who that was, and thus who to promptly ignore. The problem with the internet, is that all the village idiots found each other and started to form their own villages online. Along the way those that weren't quite as dumb saw the groups they formed and thought, "Gee, that many people surely can't be wrong", and the groups got larger and larger until they were big enough to actually cause harm.

Sometimes, the seed of that stupidity were jokes and trolls. Flat Earth Theory was one of those seeds. Trump's political career was kickstarted by 4Chan taking advantage of the same online landscape and legacy media's inability to stay away from a constantly expanding train wreck that generates infinite ad revenue.

FYI: Flat Earthers started out just like the Bird's Aren't Real people.

UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 298d

like the way Birds Aren’t Real folks ARE trolls

That was more a riff on the decades-long fear of mass surveillance. There's a degree of conspiracy theory on top of the conspiracy theory, in which a few niche corners of the internet assert the "Birds Aren't Real" guy was promoted as a means of deflecting attention from the Snowden Leaks and other surveillance whistleblowers.

I’ve had trouble sussing out what’s real and what’s just bullshit “reasoning” to support bullshit ideals.

Welcome to Post Modernist Mass Media. Manipulating public opinion is now more important than conveying anything that's actually useful.

comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu · 8 pts · 298d (5 replies)

I know, it's beyond frustrating! I consider myself not smart at all, yet people actually believe the earth is flat? Like, I mean, like.. I don't know, it's just, it's like they're spitting in the face of humanity-stupid, it's not even fun. It's just beyond stupid.

railway692@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 298d (4 replies)

It's not unreasonable, if you're so fed up with being lied to that you only believe what you see with your own two eyes.

And that you see when you look at the horizon is usually flat earth.

My issue with flat earthers is that they're inconsistent with the whole "I believe what I see with my own two eyes" thing and hold other beliefs completely on faith alone with the same fervor.

lagoon8622@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 298d (1 reply)

But they don't use their eyes. If they used their eyes they would know that Earth is roughly spherical. Just like people have known for thousands of years

Well not all of us have the privilege of travelling ten whole miles and then remembering to look back, eh!

MotoAsh@piefed.social · 3 pts · 298d

Nah, there are many tests the poorest of homeless could do in modern times that prove the Earth is a sphere. The people that honestly believe it are either stupid to the point of being a detriment to society, or dishonest contrarians that are so shit that they're ... a detriment to society.

Humanity hasn't been subject to natural selection for so long that completely brainless morons do exist in droves, and it's frankly terrifying. Humanity is doomed, and it's because far too many "good" people do not understand the natural forces that drove us to try and control our environment.

comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu · 2 pts · 298d

I hear you, and agree. But, as you point out, their inconsistency do tend to make me believe that they are beyond stupid, or just very, very bad people. Don't know what I prefer. If stupid isn't fixable (it is if the stupid person(s) acknowledge their lack of knowledge, but only a good person(s) seem to be able to come to such conclusion), then I don't know.

If it's causing you "indecent thoughts" it's because you're gay and like clean-shaven guys, my man. I guess gay guys who like bearded men are allowed all the eye candy they want there as long as they don't touch.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and it was saying that in some culture, I forget which, "a man" was defined as "wears a mustache and has a big hat" - because why wouldnt you have those if you could?

Funny how culture thinks it's the first and last word of a definition

So anyway, this guy has a beard and hat but no mustache, therefore not a man.

That’s another way of admitting you’re gay, I guess.

Buddahriffic@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 297d

Just another example of how the most anti-gay people must be in the closet because anyone who isn't should immediately know from their own experience that being tempted by other men says more about the one being tempted than the one "tempting" by just being there.

So these people that hear this shit don't think anything unusual about it, which implies to me that they can relate to feeling tempted and are thus in the closet themselves.

Of course, they (the followers) might just not be using any critical thought, which is why I'm going to keep saying it and do the critical thinking for them. If you hate gays that much, why do you follow people that are so obviously gay (or bi) but in denial?

Or if being gay is a choice, why don't more people who don't have a problem with it make that choice?

[Chorus] Men with beards What are they hiding? Could I handle the truth If they chose me to confide in? Or would my dead body be found Down a railway siding? Where I'd been murdered by a man with a beard Murdered by a man with a beard

[Verse 1] You can't work out what they're thinking in their face Because they've got hair growing all over the place You can't tell what they're up to, maybe it's best not to know Perhaps they're full of hair up here, but they've got none down below? Do they put porno mags in the bushes in the woods? Do they interfere with kids – and make them say 'Thank you' afterwards? Do they hang around in parks, and wait 'til after dark Jump out of the bushes – and then fuck you for a lark?

[Chorus 2] Men with beards What are they concealing? That facial fuzz gives me An uneasy feeling Like they'll hide my dismembered corpse Up in the ceiling Where I've been butchered by a man with a beard Butchered by a man with a beard

[Verse 2] Shipman, Bin Laden, Stilgoe, Haystacks They were all hiding something, and that's an actual fact Whispering Bob Harris – why was his voice so soft? Had he murdered a prostitute up in his loft? Like Peter Sutcliffe: The Yorkshire Ripper He avoided the use of a razor or clipper They've all got a secret – could be anything But they're probably part of a pedophile ring

[Chorus 3] Men with beards What are they obscuring? They all seem so confident And so assuring But to some waste ground You, they'll be luring Where you'll be bludgeoned by a man with a beard Bludgeoned by a man with a beard

[Verse 3] A recent phenomenon, that I find weird Is the peculiar anomaly of the fashion beard In adverts, bearded men are considered normal and cool They're no longer just kerbcrawling outside the school But now I can't tell a rapist from some guy who is hip! Which one is Mick, from This is England – and which is Scroobius Pip?! Throw in a pair of sandals, and an ethnic hat And is he a Muslim extremist, or a Hoxton twat?!

[Chorus 4] Men with beards What are they secreting? Will they trick you into A clandestine meeting And then drug your drink Or the food you were eating? Until you wake up to find what you feared You're being rogered by a man with a beard Watch out for men with beards (He's behind you...)
