Flat Earth, no worries
I once belonged to a community for people with mental health concerns. I was suffering from depression and possible repressed memories. I won't say the name of it, it's not necessary.
But some person with a multiple personality was very rude in telling me I was wrong about an article I'd read in a conservative conspiracy-oriented magazine my uncle had sent my Mom. Lots of political subjects and plots discussed, I guessed. I thought, why not read this, just see what it's about. One article talked about the origin of the diet sugar known as NutraSweet, or Aspartame. The article claimed it was first discovered by a Nazi scientist, and was maybe something like a liver or kidney poison, to be used... to kill? Maybe the scientist was trying to develop a poison.
Not sure. It was not completely out of the realm of possibility that this had been discovered while trying to develop some other chemical.
Mainly what I focused on at the mental health community was that the article also focused on the fact that Aspartame can cause depression if you consume more than one serving a day.
This was not at all called to the consumer's attention. The author said he or she called the manufacturer and found out the company does not recommend more than one serving a day.
Around the time this was written, people watching their weight would buy diet pop, diet desserts, anything that would normally have sugar in it but contained aspartame instead--that's what people would eat instead. So of course, if you could have two or three sodas per day, ice cream with diet chocolate and butterscotch sauce on it, well, why not?
So this was news, whether I read it in a the TINHAT TRIBUNE or not. The person found out aspartame could cause depression. [I am pretty sure the magazine was Soldier of Fortune. I ever read it a second time, no money for it and I was not interested.]
The person who replied to my comment about what could be causing depression went off on me big time. Or her young teen or pre-teen alter personality did. 'Blah blah blah, if you believe that or read that magazine, you're a flat earther! Stupid stupid blah blah!!!!'
WTH? I had been relatively good about it saying yes it was a weird magazine, and kind of a weird article, but the journalism about one cause of depression was sound. The person had done the research. I still don't know if there was a Nazi scientist connection, but we do know they brought over the Fourth Reich's scientist to beef up our space program and science forces in the government. Operation Paperclip, anybody? Werner Von Braun?
So I did what I sometimes do it that case, I SHUT DOWN. I just felt hurt, and didn't say anything. Since it was a person who could literally be a thirteen year old (possibly younger if they didn't mind breaking the rules), I just decided to clam up.
I thought it was obvious she wouldn't listen, she thought she had the right to talk to me that way, and thought she was right. I was feeling rather inferior, just because she yelled at me, but better to let it go.
But I remember thinking at the time, well, maybe I am a Flat Earther then. They might be right. I also hoped someday someone would give her some well deserved, accurate crap. To correct her. Not that I cared much for her after that. I'd already encountered another person like that on another subject at a Christian site. I still know I was right, but Lil Missy got extra snotty and abusive.
Again I didn't say anything, figuring she'd get corrected sooner or later.
So, how many years later, maybe two decades, and I have a new friend on my Facebook. Simone who went to Catholic school and was oppressed by Freemasons, like me. She's telling me to watch this video, and I'm going yeah, yeah, sure. Thinking I'd be bored to death. I tried to watch it, but she kept posting it at her wall, and sent it in Messenger.
She wasn't nagging, she was quiet about it, and patient. Finally I started watching. It was long, but I got hooked when they started talking about deception and the US space missions 🌖🌝. Specifically Apollo.
No way you could fake that. But they had other stuff, like whether the fellows, and ladies, were actually in a no gravity situation, or... virtual reality, CGI, harnesses like in Mission Impossible.
The ridiculous hairsprayed hair, the photographer without a spacesuit reflected in the astronaut's face plate, etc., etc.
Come to think of it, the ridicule of people who believe the Bible or their religion.
Mostly the CGI of the globe, showing North America taking up a small amount of space on the globe in one photo, decades later it's twice the size. I remember seeing the big one on the cover of National Geographic Magazine, and thinking... That sure changed, I guess they'll explain it's in better focus this time, or ... it's the time of year. Neither of those made sense, but I never heard an explanation of why it had grown in size all over the globe.
BTW, Stanley Kubrick confessed later he had faked the moon landing for NASA.!!!!!!!! That is a big confession.
Sorry for the big lead-in, but I decided to post the video. I'm concerned, just because you used to be able to find this and other videos away on YouTube, but on this subject they are burying them way down on the search results list, or they never appear on it.
