A conspiracy theory that spiraled out of control.
The general consensus on here seems to be "something's fishy", which is fine, but the hardcore conspiracy theorists are ugh. Basically, some of the emails from wikileaks detail some odd connections between John Podesta and a theme of pizza. The Podestas are also into some really fuckin' weird avante garde art. A ping-pong pizza place is run by a man formerly convicted of sexual intent with a minor or something like that and is often payed to work at the whitehouse. So going through a bunch of weird logical loops and self-confirmation biases, a bunch of nutjobs on the internet have convinced themselves that the entire DNC is run by pedophiles - all the way up to Barack Obama - who have satanic ritual dinners where they rape and eat children. The pizza place is a front for a child pedophile ring where they all go to pick up their underage rape victims and the fact that everyone tells them to shut up for being idiots just means they're right and the government is trying to silence them. 123

Oh, I wouldn't deny for a second that some government higher-ups, possibly even Podesta, could be involved in child molestation stuff. Power does weird shit to people.
But everything surrounding the pizzagate theory is verbal diarrhea. The "plant" argument is also insanely eye-rolly. 126

What would the "in-between" entail?
Because, like, the Podestas are into some weird shit, but I dunno if there really is an in-between in this sort of scenario. A lot of the conspiracy theory is built on pretty far out assumptions and connections that don't make sense unless you'd already accepted it as true. 128

Serious / Re: Don't normalize Trump simply because he won« on: November 13, 2016, 12:52:29 AM »If you take out his more ridiculous stuff, it shouldn't be too bad. If he can do it, better Healthcare would be cool. We don't need a wall to block off Mexico. But immigration needs to be more strict. I also like that he wants to be more isolationist. I don't give a fuck about other countries. The US doesn't need to go around the world policing. Vietnam, Korea, Gulf War, Iraq War... We shouldn't have been in any of those. It's not our problem. Bringing job to the US instead of other countries is also good. Building up the infrastructure is too. We'll see what he can manage.I don't disagree with most of what you've said, but I always find that people saying, "Just ignore the crazy stuff and it's fine," sound a bit silly. Like, I'm go crazy hyperbole here and break Godwin's law, but isn't that technically every dictator ever? Hitler did wonders for Germany's infrastructure but he still killed a bunch of Jews (again, super hyperbole. I'm not saying the two are comparable). 132

Oh, you mean like how states such as Texas tried to secede after Obama's reelection?
You mean like the threats from the alt right about an armed revolution if Clinton won? You mean like the white supremacists and racists assaulting Muslims and LGBT people? You mean like people on the right shouting at left-leaning folk for being THE REEEEAL racists and saying how it's their fault for being such big meanies and that's why Trump won? No, I guess it's just those crazy lefties. 139
