Comment on Trigger warning - This Epstein stuff is making me sick...
PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks agoThey’ve been doing everything they can to avoid it, while being (at least minimally) bound by the very obvious optics around that.
Where do you think such awful pics come from anyway? Why NOT these people, why is it MORE plausible to come from not-them?
Tread carefully, you sound sus.

Are you serious? I’m just throwing an idea here. How can you be so sure all this data is legit, when the DOD had plenty of time to add or remove anything they wanted?
I am NOT a trump supporter, far from it, but I won’t believe something just because it would fit nicely in my worldview.
What I find sus is the fact that they released the files when nothing stopped them from keeping them secret.

“I’m not sure parts of this are credible” is a pretty reasonable stance. I share it.
“Here’s what I think instead…” (followed by, frankly, a lot of dumb shit) is much less so.
And some of your “my idea instead” sounds so dumb, that it sounds intended to distract. Sus.

It’s just a hypothesis. I’m open to counterarguments. Calling someone dumb doesn’t count as one.

Okay, here’s the counterargument. Your “hypothesis” does a less good job of explaining our observations than the much simpler explanation (that things instead are exactly as they seem…) and it also conveniently points blame away from the exact people who are doing everything they fucking can to dodge ANY amount of blame for any of this.
So your “hypothesis” helps the worst fucking people alive, and hinders our ability to understand by introducing utter nonsense and saying “maybe it’s this instead”.
That’s more rebuttal than it deserves, and I already basically said those things above. Do you want me to keep going? I can make it even more clear how foolish and harmful it is to be out here “just asking questions, man”. We’ve seen this shit you’re doing before.
