thatll stop him this time for sure

hopped on in 2011. stopped when apollo died

yea…theres so many fallacies with ufo conspiracies…its just boring…

like why are these aliens so damn interested in contacting the US…and why do they suck so bad at driving their intergalactic spaceships???

see that would actually be interesting…an upper dimensional being somehow presenting in our observable dimensions (like how a cube would appear as a line flashing in and out while passing through the 2nd dimension)…that would be a fun (and maybe probable) conspiracy theory…real science and theory is actually even more insane and fantastical than made up conspiracies

my take is that just because objects cant be identified doesnt mean theyre alien.

also that the statistical likelihood of another life form with the same or greater intelligence as humans contacting us on this timeline is so infinitely small that its not even worth thinking about.

lol forreal.

also why do so many of these conspiracy nuts apparently have no grasp on just how old and how large the universe is? like please tell me how creatures more advanced than humans (which took 4.5 billion years on one planet to evolve enough complexity to even understand space travel) would somehow line up perfectly with our timeline and somehow be close enough and interested enough in us to say hello, but also be super sneaky about it…mmkay

yea and so mainstream to feel the need to squeeze every fucking penny out of anything humans create

i think people underestimate the impact having access to wikipedia has had on the world. really an amazingly important part of the internet and the sharing of knowledge

imma shoot you an upvote for diversity of opinion, even though you wrongly assume i’ve had the wool pulled over my eyes by western imperialists.

it’s clear the instance has views that don’t align with my own but i did mention it seemed well moderated and at least thoughtful. but i don’t fuck with any community that can be triggered by discussion lmfao. if you have any community recs for progressive policy, im all ears baby.

also prob not a good look to assume all americans or westerners are lib brained or brainwashed imperialists. there isn’t a single truly socialist country on this planet; even china partakes in mostly liberal economic policy while governing behind the guise of it’s communist party.

but guess what: everyone loves money the same across all parts of the globe, and all willingly partake in capitalism no matter what they spout, so they can keep lining their pockets.

got a lot of holier-than-thou motherfuckers on this site, ay?

yea i wish there was an active sub (woops community) to discuss progressive economic and social policy. which is why i was curious about the lemmy lefto-sphere haha.

yea my bullshit meter was tingling for sure which is why I made this post on the first place. Didnt want an experience like you had where id be attacked for asking leftist opinion on actual historical events. so ya…will avoid thanks much!

Any view on history/society that involves the word “deserved” is probably not for me lol. Thanks for the response.

As you guessed my bullshit meter was tingling which made me make this post in the first place. Only did a surface level browsing but it seems to be the largest lefty instance on lemmy so far and it has the most active latestagecapitalism community, which is pretty harmless, so it gave me some pause.

Interesting that lemmy would allow such instances to exist while mastodon prohibits them. Still learning the fediverse so I appreciate it.

I should mention i dont know whether they would lean one way or another. Honestly just interested to know if it’s worth my time participating in the instance. Rather not get caught with my pants down.

i may get some flack for this but i honestly think reddit had it’s best years when alexis was most involved.

yikess…the world aint ready for reddit influencers
