Did you know that a little town in the mountains of North Carolina is the primary worldwide producer of a substance that makes our modern high tech way of life possible?

Here is something that you almost never see on the modern, post-culture war Internet. There is this website known as "Terra Earth" which is a fansite for the unofficial Soul Blazer trilogy. On their forum, there is a subforum dedicated to conspiracy theories and debating heated topics. Best parts about it are:
1. All of these threads are contained within this subforum. You don't have to participate if you don't want to.
2. A site dedicated to a hobby has an off-topic forum dedicated to this kind of stuff. You almost never see this on modern Discord servers. People who post these kinds of threads usually get permabanned.
3. There is ZERO ideological bias. Everyone came to these threads with an open-mind and almost nobody had knee-jerk reactions. Everything is fair game. People may insult you, but this was before things like witch-hunts and lolcow drama became mainstream.

This subforum (and the forum as a whole) is nowhere near as active as it used to be (with each subforum getting a new post every few months), but the fact that it's still up shows how different the landscape the Internet was at the time. I mean, you even have one of the site's staff talk about how he thinks white pride shouldn't be considered racist (though in the same post, he also considers racial pride to be pointless, but still).

@cjd @relentless_eduardo anything financial that people don’t understand is either tulip mania, a Ponzi scheme or money laundering

Using the term "Ponzi scheme" when what you really mean is "speculative bubble" turns a relatively intelligent post into retarded drivel.

Ponzi Scheme Has A Specific Defined Meaning.

Reminder that it is well documented that the government controls the weather. So it's likely intentional that they are creating these hurricanes and not giving anyone aid, so they can then build smart-cities, pod homes or whatever else they want on top of the ruble.

So I just learned that Styxhexenhammer was in jail for violating the NAP on his (ex?)-girlfriend.

Seriously, what's with these hippie-looking guys becoming women-beaters?

_The Sun, not CO2, drives the Earth’s climate, a new study says_

"Experts analysing data in a report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPPC”) point to changes in the planet’s albedo – the fraction of the Sun’s energy reflected by Earth – as the factor driving the rise in global temperatures."

Anyone complaining about online "misinformation" without acknowledging the legacy media and established outlets torching their credibility for many, many years is not being remotely realistic. If they can't even tell you what a man or woman is, you shouldn't be shocked when more and more people tune you out.
