I mean, at this point can you prove it wasn’t staged?
That is not how anything works. The fact that this is unproven but people are acting like it is, is a really bad sign. Magats/info warriors are very low intelligence individuals. I thought the left had way fewer such folks. Turns out I was wrong and that we have plenty of people who think you need to prove something dumb and pointless that would never happen…didn’t happen. “If you can’t disprove it then it happened”. That’s where your bar is. I would hope any child could tell how flawed this thinking is but apparently plenty of adults cannot. Just another nail in humanity’s coffin and another reason to think we are doomed. The concept of evidence is apparently beyond our species now.
“If you can’t disprove it then it happened”. That’s where your bar is.
That’s not even remotely what I said, lol. What I said had far more nuance, and referenced holding mental space for the unknown in the presence of fear.
By contrast, you seem to be holding onto tropes as self-referential proofs: your constant othering of those deemed intellectually lesser; your evidence-free “something dumb and pointless that would never happen,” argument, even as you plainly ignore the guts of what I said.
You needed strawmen, and you built a few out of nothing but your own imagination. Why?
And there it is, even if you can’t see it yourself.
Frankly, you’ve made my point better than I ever could have: emotional tolerances, and emotional states, have far more to do with belief in questionable evidence-light conclusions than any IQ point ever could. You even flash yours at the end:
Just another nail in humanity’s coffin and another reason to think we are doomed. The concept of evidence is apparently beyond our species now.
From where I sit, it seems possible that part of your overwhelming scorn for the “low intelligence individuals” with “flawed thinking” your pointedly label is born of the fact that your own emotional needs require you to hold onto a different bit of propaganda – “we’re all DOOMED!” – than theirs do.
I say this only because your mental mechanics of holding onto what you need to believe to assuage your own fears seem to be exactly the same as those you scorn: deny, discard key portions, reshape, lather in pejoratives, and regurge.
But people who can understand their own fear and sit with it have no need to prove or disprove anything at all, much less have any desire to do so outside conclusive evidence one way or another. Maybe give that a shot (no pun intended) before calling other people idiots for doing exactly the same mental gymnastics that you do.
Entire quote in context, which held nuance you are clearly choking on:
While I’m personally in doubt the administration tells Goebbels Barbie anything of substance, there is also a non-zero possibility, however scant, this shooter event was staged for some other batshit insane reason the sane among us could not possibly begin to guess.
I mean, at this point can you prove it wasn’t staged?
So . . . where are those high IQ advanced thinking skills you’re sure you have? Because they’re not operative now.

There’s no coming back from what you said dude.
Lol, okay. Imagine my dismay and be happy. 👍
Not the goal. You just showed your cards so there not much else to say
Yep, sure did. You got me, lol.
