See specifically the part about abductive reasoning. This aspect of critical thinking should move you in the right direction and help you let it go sooner than later. Grasping at straws while ignoring mountains on top of mountains of concrete evidence might be fun to think about for a while, but there’s so much other beauty in nature to get fixated on, if only you’ll let go of obsessiveness and look outward.

I’m not sure because I don’t use the platform. Monero being a privacy-focused community kinda negates the potential of this inquiry as well, but I am curious about what led to this question as well.

We use it to gain/aid a growing audience. Same reason/function as the monero discord server.

I could also go on the register of the pathos and tell you how about people who died because they blindly trust the official narrative but I won’t go there.

Won’t go there because why? I know my comments can come off as self-righteous–most outreaches of genuine concern always do. It’s a risk I’m willing to take to breakthrough to one’s sense of reason. I’m staying open to further discussion and skepticism, but it now feels like you’re quitting on me. Hoping we can continue a good-faith dialogue but I also understand if I struck a nerve (yes I believe some assumptions are necessary, and I’m making yet another assumption from the insincere ‘thanks’).

Ultimately I’m just overly curious to hear you spell out what kinds of evidence would pull you back into non-conspiratorial reality, primarily because I hypothesize there isn’t any.

I lost one of my best friends to a “pursuit of deep state actors” paranoia. He also wasted days of his life peeling through “research” that primarily consisted of internet entertainment. His undoing was the pizzagate hysteria. And just like you his only conclusions were that everything was staged and a false flag to keep the masses asleep from reality. He also refused basic logic, overwhelming concrete evidence and sound reasoning skills to the point we found him stealing beer from a gas station with a homeless person that confirmed his lunacy. Into the asylum he went, and boy was he never the same afterwards…

I hope your eyes are soon opened wide enough to see your lack of rationality before it’s too late. I hope at some point you realize that at least 1 person loves you and it’s not worth doubting the entire order of everything because a failed assassination attempt is just TOO sensible to believe in. I know it’s fun to endlessly try–it’s maximum enjoyment for a soul trapped in a less than meaningless world, but you will not find the grand ulterior motive you seek–you will only find madness. There’s nothing more elusive than an obvious fact.

Definitive evidence doesn’t exist for any claim if you get paranoic enough. What evidence do we have that the Secret Service is effective? I’m no history buff, but I think 60+ years of W’s in the most technologically advanced weapons era has to count for something.

Calling multiple pictures/videos that corroborate events “weak” puts the burden of proof heavily against you here. You’re grasping at geometry and angles straws whilst dismissing the most concrete evidence one can fathom. It’s difficult to believe what evidence will satiate this lack of logic. Feel free to posit some potential evidence that would pull you back to the non-conspiratorial realm. I really don’t think there is any. The boring truth is a tough pill to swallow in the age of disinformation folks

I’m no expert either, but this picture alone tilts most theories in the extreme schizo land as far as I’m concerned. We live in an age that’s flooded with young psychotic shooters and a workforce devoid of realistic incentives. This makes negligent secret service and less trigger happy cops. I’m staying skeptical of course, but to propose conspiracy here is to go against a mountain of evidence and sound observations.

Still upvoting because this is excellent analysis/hypothesizing.

How do you discredit the photograph of the bullet whizzing right past his head though?

Is that yt link with ‘?si’ tracking on monero lemmy? Disappoint…

Well it doesn’t look like a grillout

Question: Why is BSD so low? (And why/what is unknown?)

I wholeheartedly agree with you nabio but I’d like to take your logic a bit further. Only because we are in desperate and complicated times where ‘not picking a side’ has become yet another position to be wrongly vilified. This is why I’m fully identifying as a commie in this thread to prove a point–that being we need true solidarity that stops diminishing others over nothingness.

Disparaging against any sect over such delusions as “their whole ideology was founded by bankers” is completely nonsensical. A large majority of people admire Edward Snowden as a hero, and it’s not because he was an NSA intel contractor, but because he sacrificed his freedom and safety to speak out against the massive injustices he witnessed.

Every political faction needs privacy the same. We need all of them on our team and attacking their past is never the right course of action.

Demonizing others so shallowly often does very little other than create a false sense of security and unity

You are reasoning with one in this very comment thread comrade! There are allies everywhere when we begin to see through the illusory divisions of old. I promise you we bleed the same blood and long for the same peace

This is awesome and quite comprehensive, but I have an additional question:

What if I would like to contribute and I do know programming but still don’t know where to start? I’m familiar and have done small projects with everything except Dart. How does one prioritize what is needed most right now? Should I just attack whatever I enjoy most or is some work desperately needed more than others?

All humans are partially guided by feelings. Commies need privacy too. Demonizing others so shallowly often does very little other than create a false sense of security and unity

Never give up on true solidarity folks! We need it now more than ever before

How is this different from nostr out of curiosity? Also, is that the dude?

Link? Just curious

The problem with your demands, is that the second I did show you exactly what you are requesting, you would simply shrug away my evidence as inauthentic. “That’s not a real left wing community” Isn’t that the Leftist motto, “That wasn’t real communism/socialism”

But this is also what I’m trying to convey about 4chan. Its merely an anonymous image board of stupidity for the large majority of its users. This makes it an easy target for sensitive individuals who refuse to do their own field research.

How does such a plain question appear insincere? Especially when no one even addresses my second question? lmao

Just because deepfake technology exists doesn’t mean that that all video and audio recordings are immediately untrustworthy.

Are you sure? I only ask because you didn’t really provide any kind of logic to justify this claim. If we can artificially generate anything we can imagine, how are we to distinguish what recordings are authentic vs artificially generated? I don’t see a clear or easy solution to the dilemma, but am hoping others can shine light on the issue.

Because literally only one does. There is no bothsides here.

Why are you so confident that you are correct here? Have you literally examined every facet of the internet?

I’m not questioning the goodness of anything. I’m just curious to see where your confidence stems from to demonize a whole collective of people beyond redemption. You’d think we’d get past this kind of ideology after WWII, y’know?
