        I read lemmygrad since I joined a year ago and can tell you most trolls came after the Reddit blackout.

      You seem to confuse “challenge” and “conspiracy theory about”.

      Except Dawkins, everything you posted is bullshit at best. And even Dawkins didn’t age super well.

      Do you happen to be a 14 years old edge lord or did you really not research for just 2min what media you’re consuming?

        You seem unable to read. Read the question again. Then write a comment that makes me think you actually know what you are talking about and we can argue.

          Well, Zeitgeist is known to be a conspiracy theory compilation. There’s nothing eye opening about it.

          You are not as smart as you think you are, if the most eye opening media you can come up with is the most vanilla teenage edgelord reading list.

          Seriously, just google any of your recommendations for just 30s and you’ll see, that they’re pretty much bullshit.

            I already say it’s a video about conspiracy theories in my comment above. None of it is proven. But if you don’t even consider a conspiracy theory before dismissing it, you just lack critical thinking.

            So, you think the video is wrong, God is real and the US government isn’t corrupt? Maybe you and I live in different worlds, I guess one of us lives a fantasy and the other in reality.

            Finding the truth is much more difficult than just googling stuff. You need to look at something from all different perspectives, gathering all possible information and sifting through it to find the truth.

              The whole point of conspiracies is to raise a bunch of “questions” without any evidence or justification and then try to shift the burden of proof on everyone else.

              That which is presented without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. Stupid “theories” are not worth of any time, energy, or serious consideration.
