Thank you for making the thread and choosing a pleasant OP pic

It's not so simple as you paint it, either. I don't know what part of

>Its publication in 1997 was well received in Russia; it has had significant influence within the Russian military, police forces, and foreign policy elites,[1][2] and has been used as a textbook in the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military.

Makes it some big coincidence to you that a lot of things happening right now regarding Russia and its influence is going along as it was written in Foundations of Geopolitics. But nah, it's just plain western xenophobia, nothing to see here. No dots to connect, pay no attention to the world around you. As if things are so black and white. I don't have anything against the average Russian citizen, it's the governments around the world that are fucked up and obsessed with power plays and land wars at the expense of regular people.

NTA but people aren't wowed, shocked and amazed by your Russian propaganda playbook because it's just a very standard run-of-the-mill propaganda playbook that every other major country also uses and has used way before 1997. You'd have to be incredibly naive to be wowed and shocked by the idea that countries try to take advantage of other countries' weak points for political gain lmao.

We already have, and use social credit, it's only not publicly known yet

I feel like the rise of transhumanism will result in an increase of rapes. Coomers having this inflated belief that humanity will be taken away from bodies and they can use other bodies as they please.

Politicians purposely fuck up their decisions because they know they won't be alive to see them get implemented so might as well have some fun and watch the world burn. Guess this isn't really a tinfoil but yeah.

The government committing biological warfare against the population never ends.

>Germany started/popularized the practice of porn as propaganda in WWI
Nona, do you have any sources where I can read more about it? I am really interested in reading. I thought WWI era Germany was very conservative

>>2521526
It's discussed in both the sources I provided there.
>One of his six recommendations was: The leaflet should have, if possible, the picture of a beautiful woman, after the method used by the Germans in the First World War. This device would insure that the soldier would be attracted and would be unable to resist looking at the picture over and over again. This would rouse his passion, and his heart would be inclined for love and to hate fighting.

It's been mentioned in some documentaries I've seen and stuff too but mostly it's just referenced in WWII-era sources. Doesn't necessarily mean Germany was not conservative - remember, they were propagandizing their military ENEMIES with pornography, not their own side. Producing pornography to demoralize enemy soldiers is in line with a conservative culture.

I bet this is why certain people and groups push porn in the US too.

I remember having a very vivid religious dream when I was like 5, which was kinda weird for a kid from a not particularly religious family. In this dream I was also sleeping, and I awakened because it smelt like sulfur and because of smoke that filled my room, and when I looked around there was a horned, devil/demon-like creature standing by my bed. After initial shock, I was not afraid of it and I started grinning at it, showing it that I'm not afraid, it looked surprised, and at that moment a beam of light appeared from the ceiling. The creature got afraid and disappeared, and a powerful voice that came from that light told me that I will always be protected no matter what. And I kinda felt like it throughout my life, despite my many fucks ups, and despite having shitty abusive family and no good patterns of behavior form them and being alone most of my life, something was always there to bail me out in the end, and the only time when I wanted to commit suicide and I prepared all the stuff to do it and was about to start, my teacher randomly called me (it was almost midnight) and he asked me what I was doing, he told me he got a "feeling" that he had to call me and tell me that everything is going to be all right in the end, and he said he wanted to see me in the class the next day. Later I felt like it was my guardian angel telling him to call me. (btw my teacher was gay so there wasn't anything sketchy about our relationship). I'm also very good at "feeling" people, despite not being good at communicating with them, and I can immediately spot a narc. God gave me autism in exchange because otherwise my powers would be too powerful probably kek. But yeah, I do believe something is out there guarding me (I don't know why though since I'm such a retard) and it's a weird feeling. I wonder if there's anyone else here who felt that way

>>2523305
I had a similar dream as a child and it definitely supported me through a rather rough childhood and turbulent teenage years. I grew out of it during my 20s and realised the feeling was all from me and not some higher being out there, especially since it's a strangely common thing. I think it's a sign of emotional intelligence. Your teacher probably read you in the days prior to that attempt like you read others.

>>2523316
It's not the fact that he called me around that time per say, rather that it was the EXACT moment, right when I was about to start. That spooked me out, also the fact he immedietley asked "what are you doing?" when I said "hello?"

I used to like watching horror movies but I've heard someone say that watching stuff like that can invite beings into your home. I mean supernatural horror movies with ghosts, spirits and demons, not stuff like slashers where the killer is just some guy. Is it really true? It freaked me out so much that I avoided watching them but I do get tempted to watch them again especially when I hear my friends raving about them

>>2524837
I'm opposite. Demon and ghost movies dont scare me but horror and torture shit freaks me out because violent moids are more of a threat. On the tinfoil hat note, weren't the house and cast behind Rosemary's baby part of some heinous shit? People who direct and produce these movies are suspicious to me

does anybody else get celebrity downloads when they sleep?? last night i dreamt that a y2k blonde white woman singer who wasn’t britney spears - im not trying to deliberately hide her identity, i seriously don’t completely know who this woman is - heidi klum, jessica simpson, mandy moore, idfk - was dancing in club filming a music video and basically reveled that jonah hill(whoever that fat bastard that azealia banks sucked off once was) murdered a woman in his closet and secretly buried her somewhere, maybe also in his closet, maybe the closet was actually in the club that heidiklumjessicasimpsonmandymoore was filming in idk i just felt like i should share this with you guys

>>2524837
I believe engaging with stuff like that invites that energy inside. people don't feel spooked by shadows in the dark until after watching a horror movie

Whistleblowers are killed in extremely obvious ways ("he committed suicide with 16 shots in his back" meme) to serve as a warning to other potential whistleblowers

>>2525321
Is that even a conspiracy, it seems pretty obvious

This is interesting

Diddy is just taking the fall, there are way bigger and more important people involved

How do I navigate the endless shitty articles about certain conspiracy theories to find the good stuff? There are so many middle aged american men writing blogs about nonsense.
>>2528212
Yeah but who will take the fall after Diddy? Who's next?

>>2528709
What kind of conspiracy theories are you looking into anon? Whenever it comes to any 'conspiracy theory' a lot of what you will find is written by kind of kooky people, you just have to get good at cross-checking facts and sources. Anything heavily sourced (where you can actually verify the sources) is more likely to be reliable/onto something.

Maybe I'm just schizophrenic but sometimes I'll see posts that read like blackpills disguised as venting, like the kinds of superficial problems men think women care about.
>i don't have big boob! my friend has big boob. no moid like me. moid only like big boob. there is NO POINT IN LIVING if you're small boob

Adriana Smith isnt being kept artificially alive because it would be an abortion to let her pass, theyre using the anti abortion law as an excuse to perform human experiment using women as braindead wombs. It doesn't actually have anything to do with pro life and the right of the fetus or Christianity, its dystopic transhumanism. Its to keep braindead women as birthing cattle for things like the surrogacy industry. (I am pro choice btw adding that so this post doesn't cause a shitstorm)

>>2528959
Moids write fiction like this on reddit all the time but I actually think it's also very common for women to be insecure about minor issues like breast size because of how brainwashed we are practically from birth to compare ourselves (negatively) to other women and to beauty standards. I would generally assume someone saying this is just an insecure/brainwashed woman unless it's somewhere like Reddit where 85% of the user base is moids who like to make up fictional stories for fictional internet money.

>>2530503
I have similar thoughts when I hear stories like this but I don't know. I would like to think even most pro-lifers would find the story horrifying, because the pro-lifers I know are all very happy to say there should be exceptions carved out for the woman's health and rape. But then again the pro-lifers I know are almost all women, and I wouldn't put it past moids to pass laws like this just to wage a war on women. There is a huge push for transhumanism in medicine and politics right now though (on both the right and the left, too - Elon and Thiel are the 'right wing' side of the Rationalist/transhumanist tech dystopia circles but there are many left-wingers in those circles too). And what they all have in common is they love weird experimental reproductive technology, AI, bionics, etc.
