Every once in a while I look for videos like this.
They're amazing.
I'm done before the two-minute mark, when he makes like a dozen claims about the Pyramids of Giza that I know are not correct, or at least sound like the kind of thing that would be made up and require actual citations (that I will check) for me to buy.
Then I skip forward and hear "...these Lemurians lined up to join Atlantis..." and nope right out.
There's a reason I open random videos in private mode.
Aww... you didn't even get to the part about the Hebrew Martians from the future?
I'm almost thirty-one years old, I don't have the time to listen to an hour-long crazy person's up-pitched theories about lost civilizations and time-traveling alien Jews or whatever.
I just put it on in the background so I can enjoy the crazy.
When he gets to the fourth-dimensional consciousness dome surrounding the Earth because of jade tablets left at holy sites by ancient Egyptian gods who were actually lost kings of Atlantis who were communicating telepathically with a 1930s Christian Mystic called 'The Sleeping Prophet' I just... It's like every crazy rabbit hole condensed into a singularity of madness.
Yeah we have a bunch of tablets that literally break the laws of physics. Oh, but we also have these laws of physics we know to be absolute.
Kind of a dealbreaker right there, Tinfoil Hat People.
The best part is when he rapid-fire drops a couple of "channelers" and the Egyptian god Thoth as reliable sources.

If you can't trust the dude who invented writing and was considered by the Egyptians as the author of all works of science, religion, philosophy, and magic, then who can you trust?
I'll keep looking, but the only one that I've found better than that is the nine-hour lecture by a self-proclaimed 97th Degree Mason who claims to have used math to break language in such a way that all treaties and laws are null and void upon him and the secret service visited him and threatened him because of it but when he explained his personally sovereignty they backed off because they can't touch a sovereign citizen.
And that was linked by somebody in this forum in the first place, so... yeah.
Conspiracy theories are the mythmaking of our time, only shit.
I think normal fictional stories are the mythmaking of our time
Myth has always had a life that existed outside of books and stories. Stories of Heracles, Homer's epics, and Shakespeare's plays are more like an attempt to cohere stories from the mythology. They're always borrowing from these myths and tales that exist outside of the context of the stories.
Fairy rings, leprechauns, satyrs, and ancient gods like Puck existed before A Midsummer Night's Dream, but Shakespeare gave them single names and a coherent character.
Myth is more like the Jersey Devil or Springheeled Jack. Personal recollections or events that are seen or heard and which spread around into this semi-coherent idea which outlines the shape of the myth. They're ways to explain the events and concepts of life. The books about them aren't themselves the myth, they're an attempt to define the myth and make it fully coherent.
Harry Potter borrows a lot of myth in the books from different places, but it isn't itself a myth.
Conspiracy theories are an attempt to forcefully create the same effect as myths by trying to connect unconnected ideas and concepts to form a mythology, and frankly compared to old myth it's all pretty bad. They're trying to explain things that they don't understand, why the world works the way it does, or why they feel something is off with the world, but they're always trying to find a specific someone to blame for everything.
If Jack tells a story about being chased by a phantom black dog, and Tom tells a similar story next week, and you assume that there's some kind of monstrous black dog out there, that's myth. When someone takes those and weaves them into a narrative, that's story. When someone tells you that it's really the government creating mutated hunting dogs to capture people for alien experiments, that's conspiracy.
At least "The government did it!" is generally better than "Witches did it!".
At least fewer innocent and socially disadvantaged women end up being subjected to sanctioned torture and murder.

The witch trials were the result of conspiracy theories and books written about myths rather than the myths themselves. People trying to find scapegoats found the answers they wanted in collected works like the Malleus Maleficarum and King James's Daemonologie which recontextualized myth for the purpose of finding a single sources to blame for people's problems.
The same kinds of people make bombs instead of bonfires now. They read "The Anarchist Cookbook" instead of the Malleus Maleficarum. While they don't blame witches anymore, I don't find their blaming "The Government" to be that much better when it ends up with things like the olympic bombings in 96 or the Oklahoma City bombings.
so apparently this guy was told that the McDonald's was out of McChicken patties, so he called the manager a bitch and refused to leave when she asked him to
this quickly turns into him taking an amazing, baffling stand for Men's Rights

Wasnt there recently a video of a kid in like a college cafeteria in Toronto or something who had a similar freak out when they did have bacon Mac and cheese?

It's a little older, and more of him just being a generically drunk rich asshole kid, but yeah
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

This video was deleted before I could watch it. I guess it was too nsfw?
He was made aware of a potential concern with the fake age of one of the rule 34 and edited one of those out. He's reuploaded a newer corrected version
Still....NSFW
Going off the thumbnail image, I don't think just grabbing someone's face and squeezing is an advisable restraint technique
Skipping to the end of the video, dual wielding someone's face and throat definitely aren't advisable restraint techniques
cafeteria managers just aren't trained up to snuff these days

I feel for the manager that had to deal with that McDonalds guy.
But I gotta roll my eyes at everyone else in the video.
Bad enough that the one guy was making an ass of himself, but the random other customers clustered around to gawk and antagonize just makes me feel tired. Now instead of one dumbass you've got a gaggle of them.

I just saw that Jim re-edited and uploaded the video to get rid of the underage stuff.
Still, I don't think I'm going to repair the link. It's not like it is hard to find anyways.

Maybe more NSFW than usual...
Hey!
Academie Duello is here in Vancouver! I know a bunch of people who train/teach there.
As well as fencing, they also do longsword and shield fighting, medieval archery and a bunch of other cool stuff.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.

I thought it was fun!
I've watched it at least twice.
It is just so good.
I remember that. It was like Salute Your Shorts. Except on a ranch. And not nearly as good.
Steam: pazython
and surprise illuminati who are actually martians
really makes you think and explains a lot, especially about how ancient non-white people could ever do anything amazing

It's a debate tactic called a gish gallop: Spew so much bullshit your opponent can't refute it all.
Right, named after famed new creationist Duane Gish.

The amazing podcast The Memory Palace also just did an episode on this very lady and her adventures.
