@IAMAL_PHARIUS @dassauerkraut I think it's kind of funny that the guys who think if you put a string around a city it means you can leave your house buy "you are not outside", but they can't find a loop hole around killing a red cow. -

@Purp1Lady Agreed. Thomas Shahan is one of my favorite contemporary artists, and most of his subjects are jumping spiders. His pictures are the cure to arachnophobia.
You can't see this and be scared. -

@Purp1Lady @eee I have videos on my computer at home of people placing mirrors in front of them, and they do this dance as well. But after awhile, they seem to understand they are looking at a reflection of themselves, which probably makes them one of the smallest animals after ants to pass this test for self awareness.
It also suggests that they have some form of communication restricted to just themselves, as they don't do this dance to threaten other spiders and insects. -

Spiders do not bite: a conspiracy (Part 2)
A quick note: why is it YouTube's resident goofball and hambone, "coyote" Peterson, has not filmed himself being bitten by a spider, despite being stung by literally everything else? Because it's impossible.
So remember that video where the guy laughed as the spider "bit" him? What was going on was the spider physically could not hurt him, even though it wanted it. That's right! It's not a matter of how long the fans are, but how, much force it needs to break your skin.
Now you are worried. "But, wait. Wasn't you great aunt bitten by a Brown Recluse? She still has issues because of it." Let's deal with that claim...
Many American's claim to have been bitten by the Brown Recluse, a spider notorious for it's necrotic venom. This is despite the fact that they live in a fairly small region of the US. Do you not live in the red zone? No? Then it was not a Recluse. (1,2)
Not only that, people are not even sure that their venom causes the infamous necrosis effect. Some believe it's actually caused by an allergic reaction, while some dispute if it's related at all to the spider. Even funnier, we have examples of doctors lying about this. It's been shown that Brown Recluse bites are diagnosed well outside of its region, like in places as far as Maine or Washington.
What about the Hobo spider? It's ranger is larger, and it's supposedly just as dangerous, if not more so. Some even claim that it, and not the Brown Recluse, is the one responsible for the necrosis some experience. This claim was based off a study that failed to be replicated. Basically it's not venomous to humans at all (if it even bites watch?v=9gVEAhFBeHs).
"But the doctor said it was a bite!" Doctors, it turns out, are not really trained to identify spider bites. Usually, someone walks in with a strange rash, or bump, or necrosis, and they will just blame a spider. It's easier, and gets that asshole out of their face quicker.
False identification of spider bites kill more people than actually spiders (which is zero because they don't bite). Strange sores are written off as a bite, when they turn out to be skin cancer or some type of staph infection. Seriously, if a doctor tells you it's a spider bite, he's being lazy and wants you out of his face. Tell him to fuck off and to do his job. That type of negligence gets peopled killed.
As for Brown recluse bites, unless it's around the chest or groin, medical advice (assuming your doctor isn’t a retard) says that it's not a bite. Why? First of all, they are too small. Like the other spiders shown, they simply don't have enough force to bite you on their own. Brown Recluse bites usually only occur when they get pressed up against your skin, such as when you put on clothing they've crawled inside (and hence chest and groin areas being the most common locations for bites). Seriously, look at how small Brown Recluse spiders are. Are you telling me this thing can hurt you on it’s own? (3)
This guy explains the details on this better (youtube.com/watch?v=HoFBTqqL_Xs).
Here is another thing to ask yourself, why are there no myths about people being bitten by spiders? No one seemed to think they were a problem hundreds of years ago. Only now, today, in the modern age, are people afraid of them.
And before you bring it up, the Tarantella thing is a bit of a modern myth too. The dance isn’t named after the spider, but the other way around. And both were named after Taranto Italy. Two spiders carried the “tarantula” name, the mediterranean black widow which was renamed and Lycosa tarantula, a wolf spider not even native there. Neither were ever considered an explanation for the dancing mania except for the short time in the 16 and 17 centuries.
So now for the big question: why? Why have we all been lied to for all this time? The answer is simple - Someone out there wants you to be afraid of spiders. Being afraid of spiders is a trillion dollar industry. People pay for poisons to kill spiders, fearing something that literally only wants to keep your house clean of gross bugs like crickets and moths and cockroaches. Hollywood can make movies where they use big spiders to scare you.
But why are you afraid? Spiders don't even get into your food. They don't like it. All they want is to do hide in a corner of your house, and be left alone. It's like a cat, only nicer because it won’t bite you, because that's impossible.
So don't be stupid, don't be afraid of spiders -

@snappler @lancer Right, it's basically conditioning and "predictive programing" (I know I am using that term differently).
You have a lot of media that constantly bombards you with one side of a story, version of events, or an idea, and it does not expose you to anything else that challenges that.
I remember the first time I heard something from the dissident right, I clicked away as soon as possible. I felt a temporary moment of fear, even though I was all alone. Like, I knew I wasn't supposed to see that. What stuck with me though was that I already agreed with the individual to an extent on the subject, and had it for as long as I can remember. The issue is that he pushed it well passed where I was comfortable, and that took time for me to accept what he said.
So we have a lot of people who are, frankly, brainwashed. They are never allowed to see anything that might "break the conditioning" (it really only takes the correct "facts" once to do it). In fact they make sure to get out in front of it. So then, when they get out into the world on their own, without anyone there to make sure they "follow the rules", they'll know how to behavior.
When they get hit with a specific event or situation, the "predictive programing" kicks in. They look away out of fear, always give the correct canned answers, and they behave in such a way that is predicable to those in power, throwing their weight behind one another when the time arises.
This loss of predictability is why, I think, so many governments have spent a decade panicking about the internet.
There is an interesting academic paper from 2006, on architecture of all things, that covers this exact topic (most people are conditioned with "harmful memes" and that exposure to information provided the right way can break it's control over people instantly). I don't know much about the author, but he seemed way ahead of his time. -

@ThatWouldBeTelling @lancer @snappler Maybe, I don't remember the Regan years, I barely remember the Clinton years.
I sort of get the impression that this has been going on for a while, and every time someone things "ah, people are finally waking up", it turns out they are not "waking up" but "more asleep than ever". -

I thought this was common knowledge.
It's crazy, back in 2012~14 (I think) I was really naive in thinking that the internet, where only the most popular content would rise to the top, would defeat corpo media. I had a notion that big companies could not complete with niche "unsafe" content, that by itself would get, maybe, a few thousand views. Not enough to invest in, but enough to break the hold that big companies had over entertainment.
I also had the impression that people, sharing their ideas, would allow ideas to spread that certain groups who had influence over the media would like to hide. During this time, I didn't know much about Jews, but I could tell that "liberals" seemed to control the media, and that conservatives seemed pretty powerless to change that. The internet, I thought, would finally fix that. I assumed internet companies, like google, would want to encourage that.
I was too retarded to think that they wouldn't just buy out every other creator, that ethnic nepotism would trump capitalism, and that someone could pay companies like google to promote their content over everyone else. Nor could I have imagined that so many governments would throw free speech and civil rights into the trash, and promote ideas like "Algocracy", a comical idea that only the ruling powers are allowed to influence people by bombarding them with their propaganda, and no one else's.
Mister Metokur's 2015 video, Wake Up, turned out to be one of the most accurate predictions of media trends from the 2010s. The concept of a "serendipitious conspiracy" ends up being the biggest thing I took away from this video. Conceptually similar to "stocastic terrorism", if anyone ever asks for a description of a mechanism for how these groups operate in unison without talking to each other, remember that all it takes is for people to hop onto trends.

@ThatWouldBeTelling @lancer @snappler I think what I noticed at the time was that there were a lot of opinions I had, like I thought abortion was bad, or that gay marriage was wrong, and I had definitely noticed the anti-male, anti-White, anti-Christian attitudes that were pervasive despite being told that "anti racism and sexism is our more important value". However, I lacked a nuanced background on various historical topics to make a good case for why these things is wrong, or why they were happening.
I think, in the 2010's, there was an awareness that you could just say what' on your mind on the internet (without being a troll), and various people started to share information with each other, helping organize a world view.
That couldn't happen in the 90s or earlier, because there was no freedom to share information like that. Sure there was "Usenet", but the barrier to access it was high at the time.
Anyway, this is the purpose for internet censorship now. It's that they want to disrupt unapproved conversations long enough that people forget it all, and younger people never see it. -

@ThatWouldBeTelling @lancer @snappler I define people "waking up" is when they lose faith in the system, form their own organizations, and try to take power. At the moment, I don't see that happening. People are mad about a lot of things, but it hasn't affected them personally enough for them to actually do anything about it. -

@Terry I think that's true to an extent, but not necessarily always true. I know of at least two counter examples off the top of my head.
One of the botanists investigating the recently discovered venus fly trap back in the 1700s. Being in the UK, he needed to source the plant from another botanist in South Caroline, from a man over the age of 70. He wrote a letter lamenting that he probably wouldn't get one because he had it own "venus fly trap" to play with now, a reference to his new wife who was just 13.
Similarly, Edgar Allen Poe married a 13 year old girl when he was 27. I think this situation was unusual, from what I remember she lied about her age to get married (or rather, she could marry, but needed her fathers consent, but he was dead, and so she lied about her age to avoid that problem).
That people could lie like this without much investigation makes me wonder what the actual ages people got married at were, as records from that period and earlier might be unreliable.
But admittedly, this isn't an area I'm fully familiar with. -

A few days ago I bought a Germans children's book because I liked the illustrations in it (I don't speak German, though maybe I'll learn someday). Stuck to the first page was a piece of paper with some text on it. If I understand it, even a children's book needed approval from the US government to be published and sold.
There are lots of little bits of information I've picked up over the years, stuff that doesn't get taught in most history classes, about the insane conditions imposed on Germany after WWII.
I had a teacher who was the daughter of a US general during WWII, who lived in Germany in the aftermath of the war. She told a story about how the Germans would take her dog and threaten to eat it unless they got chocolate. Now she didn't speak German either (as far as I know). I think it wasn't chocolate they wanted, but food, and her father told her something else to shield her from what was going on.
This lines up with a British film I saw some years ago, which talked about how they deliberately starved the people, while blasting air raid sirens randomly.
I think most people here know about how the people were told, and sometimes blamed, for war crimes. Some famous examples include stories of children in the Hitler Youth setting barns filled with people on fire, or people being shown displays of shrunken heads and bars of soap (while being told they were Jews), gas chambers that didn't exist till the Americans arrived, etc. These people were often punished, as a group, for a crime that, at best, they had no knowledge of, and at worst, never occurred, or was even perpetrated by the other side.
Meanwhile, high ranking individuals were forced to undergo prolonged struggle sessions to reenter society.
Probably less known is how the Allies made nearly every patent public (this is why there were so many Leica clones from this period, which is how I learned of this). Someone will probably squabble on this, but their counter is usually something like "Well there were some patents that were made secret" and "the Germans burned some, so those couldn't have ALL been made public". This deliberately misses the point. The point is that the whole of the nation was looted, in a way that I don't really think had ever occurred in history (or not since the Romans stole Pizza and Cheese cake).
When you line a lot of this up, it starts to match, 1 to 1, what cults do to "program" individuals (depriving them of all their valuables, sensory deprivation and overload, social isolation, nutritional deprivation, control over everything they can say, think, and do). Of course, they'll tell you they were "deprogramming them".
All of this reminds me of the phrase "history gets written by the victor". I think it gets said so much that most people don't really think about what it means. Probably, a better way to say it is "the victor chooses which history to write and which history to burn".
Anyway, I've written a lot of this before, but I wanted to compile it again after this new find. -
