Did you verify any of this kook's rant yourself or do you just believe whatever you see on youtube?

I can't possibly stand differing opinions. We must ignore all views which don't align with the echo chamber!

Ignorance is bliss, my friend.

Wouldn't it be fun to shut everyone up with proof? If you could just drop a links that proved your nonsense about this kooks 'receipts' everyone would be so impressed and enlightened. But- if you could you would.

I was going to say - waving a bit of paper in the air and speaking authoritatively does not make something true.

Surely it would be too bothersome to search for and verify these occurrences yourself. Ignorance is bliss.

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What search terms would you suggest to verify your claims about this kook and his 'receipts'?

[–] Unhappily_Coerced@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Try searching the words the man in the video is saying. Seems obvious. But, oh well. You can only lead a horse to water...

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How would that help establish the veracity of his 'receipts'? You've taken all this on faith without ever actually seeing the 'receipts' yourself?

[–] Unhappily_Coerced@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I read the news articles, from various sources. I trust you can not only find the same articles, but do your own due diligence. It's quite sad that this simple task is seemingly so difficult for you lot.

[–] stanleytweedle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

But you haven't seen the 'receipts' yourself. Gotcha.

Yes and I trust in your ability to use online search engines too instead of ignoring what has been brought to your attention. If you refuse to see what is obvious to others, it does not make it untrue.

I hope God has blessed you in some other important way. Best wishes.

I'm vision impaired so search results are difficult for me to comb through quickly. If you're not just a lying liar I would appreciate it if you provided what you found that you think verified this kook's rant.

Best of luck to you in your endeavors. I love high contrast visual themes and the "Read Aloud" text to speech add-on, helps me a heap!

Thanks for confirming what we both already knew.
