    Ok but that’s just evil.

    They painted it at a T junction, you can see there’s a road coming from the opposite direction, and at night, anybody who’s not local could have fallen for that and just assumed it was normal crossroads.

    There’s also barely, if any, sidewalk in front of the painting, that could at least have alerted the driver.

    It’s pure luck that the guy wasn’t driving fast, or there’d be dead bodies because of this stupid prank. This needs jail time, even if suspended.



  • This is 100% the reason for the documentary in the first place. Quote from the director:

    My dream would be that when people watch it, they take flat Eartherism as an analogy to something they believe in, because it’s so easy to demonize another group or another person for something they think but you’re kind of just as guilty if you do that.

    These are humans, people that are missing something in their lives, and this community and their “secret knowledge” grants them that.

    I see the SovCit movement as exactly the same thing, but when one digs deep enough, maybe one finds the same in the fanatical MAGA crowds, and in the most fervent religious people, and it’s not a coincidence that there’s an overlap in membership between these groups…

    Of course! The smooching had me giggling like a teenager.

    But also, I’m so impressed by just how much stage presence Christian Boyle and Jeremy Jordan have! I’m not dissing anyone, far from it, I love the whole cast so much, but those two are made for live acting, they have this bigger than life quality or something.




  • What utter bullshit is this? Are you that ignorant, or are you intentionally misrepresenting history? In either case, you need to shut your mouth.

    Fascism is a far-right political ideology. Let explain to you what it is composed of, its beliefs:

    It is authoritarian: no democracy, no elections, only one single party led by one charismatic fugure. This usually comes with the “cult of the Leader”.

    It is ultranationalist: people from that nation (or race) are considered “supreme”, that others are inferior and even “subhuman”, and usually comes with a narrative that they are being attacked (despite being dominant).

    It is repressive: political opposition is suppressed, the media is attacked and “put under control”, and individual freedom and rights are taken away to maintain social order and ensure the absolute authority of the state.

    It is totalitarian: state must control all aspects of public and private life, including the economy and culture, abusing propaganda and censorship.

    This is what America is turning into RIGHT NOW. Not so in the late 30s, when Americans were coming out from the Great Depression, and when its values were literally opposed to all of these.
