If not gestapo, then why gestapo shaped?

You mean the one he has now or the one the government will be paying for?

Well, I can’t make you undrink the koolaid.

You want to look like an idiot, be my guest.

It’s not a “so-called conspiracy” it is a conspiracy theory.

Thousands of people worked on the Apollo project. Hundreds of America’s best engineers spent a decade designing and improving the designs for equipment that would go to the moon. If it was really impossible to do it in the 60s, you don’t think some of those people would have come forward by now? And not Bert Sybrils version of “my buddy’s uncle’s friend left his son a confession tape that was destroyed in a fire” version of coming forward. I mean someone from Boeing, or Northrop, or Rocketdyne, or even JPL itself would have said something. You’re talking about keeping thousands of very smart people quiet about something that would have been obvious to them from the start, and asking them to waste a decade of their life designing things that wouldn’t work.

Apollo missions after 11 left scientific instruments on the moon like laser reflectors that let us calculate the moon’s distance from earth more accurately over time. Non-US agencies and universities have used these for lunar observations. Are independent agencies lying for the American government, or are there really reflectors on the moon. If they’re lying, why? What benefit would they gain? If there are reflectors on the moon, how did they get there?

The US government spends millions of dollars every year meticulously preserving lunar rock samples. If it was fake, why would they continue spending that money 50 years later? Why not say “all rocks gone, everyone is fired, go home” 40 years ago? For that matter, those rocks have been sent to thousands of research centers, universities, and labs around the world for analysis and testing. They’re the rarest and most valuable rocks in the world. If NASA shipped some random rock from the Arizona desert to a lab in France or Germany, don’t you think some French or German geologist would go “hold on a minute, this is just ordinary basalt!” And call their local newspaper about how nasa just scammed them and wasted their grant money?

24 astronauts have orbited the moon, and 12 of them walked on it. These are men who dedicated their lives to being the best at what they do, a good chunk of them had doctorates. Again, you’re saying that 2 dozen people wasted a decade of their life training to be the best of the best so they could go to the moon, and then just what, sat in a bunker for a week and then said they went to the moon? And not a single one of those 24 men ever said it was all bullshit? Clearly you don’t understand American history or culture if you think that’s true. We like the big slamdunk, knock out drag out, victory. If that wasn’t true, someone would have blabbed about how they wasted their life for a fake crowning achievement.

Just because you don’t understand how something works doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Go play kerbal space program or read a book on project Apollo if you want to actually understand how space travel works. Watching YouTube videos is not going to educate you.

What about the civilian right to repair.

Why can’t we all just be allowed to fix all of our shit. Sell me parts, let me open up things and poke around without illegals saying I violated the warranty.

We went to the moon.

If we hadn’t, the Soviet’s would have been screaming it from the rooftops. The soviets tracked all the Apollo missions themselves, and even had robotic missions going on at the same time as several of the manned US landings.

The Cold War was intense. You think if the US hadn’t made, the soviets would have just let it slide?

Tech journalists don’t know a damn thing. They’re people that liked computers and could also bullshit an essay in college. That doesn’t make them an expert on anything.

Eggs are not produced by women. All the eggs they’ll ever have developed in the womb. The ovaries simply store them until ovulation where they mature and are released. Women also go through menopause around middle age, so are people over 50 or so no longer considered women if they don’t produce eggs? Then what gender are they?

If I get in an accident and lose my testicles, I’ll no longer biologically produce sperm. Would I stop being a man?

God this is fucking stupid.

international VPNs are not immune from US subpoena

And condoms are only 98% effective.

A condom and VPN work on the same principle: a layer of protection. No protection is ever 100% effective, but you can at least try.

Remember, they’re already building the camps. It’s only a matter of time before “helping illegals” is a crime that gets you sent to the camps. I’d rather make the fascists work for it at least.

>Claims to live in better country

>Still a mad little prick

We really are all the same in the end.

Also there’s 2 countries in 8th place, and I can’t tell if this is just regular European bigotry because you’re from the Netherlands and naturally dislike anyone who doesn’t ride bicycles across the province sized chunk of land you call a country, or if you’re from Hong Kong and are lashing out because another country is also getting taken over by authoritarian bastards.
