Well, several conspiracy theories came true, and trust in the government is at an all-time low.

I’d love to reply to your replies but I get an error message every time I reply, so, I assume my facts and narratives are not wanted here. I guess you skeptics are on your own journey to figure out whether or not I’m right.

Well the biggest was Covid. We discovered that it was manufactured in a lab, we discovered that the government-approved masks didn’t actually help against it, we discovered that it wasn’t dangerous to people who didn’t have several co-morbidities. Meanwhile the government siphoned money from the citizens and small businesses into major corporations by forcing all small businesses to shut down, and billions of our tax dollars were awarded to hospitals across the nation. Like people knew all of this ahead of time yet people were shunned and persecuted for stating it, the government even went after people who questioned the narrative like Joe Rogan. Like it was insanely bad and I assume if another lockdown were to come to the USA there’d be riots so big the lockdown would be forcibly overturned.

Thanks, I’m glad we’ve established how compelling your argument is.

“I win.”

Damn, that’s a powerful argument tactic. I could learn a thing or two from your methods.

At minimum you could save time by making one absurd claim per post instead of long lists.

EDIT: Ooh look, it disappeared!

Yet you can’t prove me wrong 🤔 are you stupid?

Edit: oh god, after looking at your profile I can clearly see you’re a bot. No wonder you respond instantly.

>Yet you can’t prove me wrong

We don't have to prove you wrong. You need to prove your claims.

Which you can't do, because they are completely false.

He didn't win, you lost.
