    Why would I believe your sources over others? Especially when there are what appear to most people to be pictures of the Chinese state using lethal military force against protesters and dead bodes on the ground. Are these fake pictures?

      Again, fantastical claims. Where are these pictures?

      Edit: I love that this is the second person to come in here who gives us shit for being conspiracy theorists, disregards first hand eyewitness accounts, and runs away when pressed for evidence. Murder trials in the US must work very differently than I’ve been led to believe.

        Do you believe we went to the moon? If so why? If not why?

        Do you believe human caused climate change is a thing? Why?

        You’re believing somebody, why do you believe those people?

          Do you believe in Last Thursdayism? I choose not to because reality has no meaning that way and the consequences are still the same.

          Do you believe in your own birth? After all, you couldn’t possibly remember it. How do you know aliens didn’t just materialize you out of nothing? Again, I choose not to subscribe to the alien-materialization theory because there’s a much better hypothesis that seems to make a lot more sense.
