    Did I ever tell you guys about my brother? He's a fucking nutjob, it's mental how 2 kids brought up exactly the same can be so different. He followed me into engineering aged 16, our upbringing was indistinguishable and so was our early adult life. We both joined the armed forces a couple of years later. But since my brither split from his wife he's been mental. I've heard it all, the new world order, covid is a lie, the great reset etc etc. He's even gone so far as to buy a house in Spain(somehow that's better, is it the British government that are so bad?). He's spent all his extra money on gold and silver. So I'm like: Well if everything breaks down and food is king what good is gold? But apparently I'm an idiot. I just don't understand people like him. I get prepping, but it has to make sense, he makes no sense! Instead of buying gold buy an underground bunker cos I aint trading food for useless gold metal when my daughters are hungry. Bonkers mate.

      Editing … I assume the reasoning is that gold is able to serve as currency basically but since it's not tied to any state, it will withstand the the collapse of governments. It's also possible that euros or dollars will begin to lose most of their value ahead of such an event occurring.

      Editing … What you talking about? You love conspiracy theories. I think it’s good to just let him express his opinions even if you think it is nutty and it pisses you off. Especially since he’s your bro. I don’t know. I always think family is important. History teaches us you are better off distrusting your government than trusting it. There is sure as hell a lot of shady shit going on in the world and a lot of heavy framing on certain topics at least where I am. I’m not surprised that people are questioning things with all that going on. Just keep talking with each other and have a beer or the divide will widen and that’s no fun. It should not matter to you what he spends his money on right? What is it to you? If you think it is crazy just shrug it off. You buy takeout he buys gold. Who cares? (I’d rather have the gold t.b.h. considering the inflation :-P) Have a debate on what the best way of prepping is or something. Don’t make him feel like an outcast even if he calls you an idiot sometimes. You don’t even know how much I’ve been called an idiot throughout the years and what kind of things I have had to listen to. Believe me, your brother sounds a whole lot more sane than some people I have had to deal with. I’m the king and queen of idiots. Trust me I know what I’m talking about.

      Editing … Oh, Klem. We'll always be brothers and we've had this discussion, and we'll still be brothers tomorrow. I've expained to him in simple terms capitalism, democracy, etc etc but he's self employed(he earns a fortune but only declares a fraction so the government don't get it) and still plays up which I find so ironic. I've also explained to him what the word conjecture means but here we are. Nothing he claimed will happen happened. Trump never got assassinated by navy seals and my money is still a thing.

      Editing … I think he's depressed. It's since he split from his wife, and 99% of the time he doesn't show it but every now and then he'll rant about her, he'll even slag off her new husband or something, and they live 250 miles away and just get on with their own lives. So maybe this is some kind of mental thing, he needs to feel like he knows something we don't to make himself feel better. I can believe one conspiracy, we all suspect something every now and then but he's into them all. He told my parents not to get covid jabs because it's a lie and the jabs will kill them. But as I type they're isolating as they caught it last week and those jabs have probably saved their lives, my step dad is 75 and in bad health anyway.

      Editing … I don’t know about the shots either. My dad’s girlfriend got the first shot but she got very bad reactions from it. She does not want another one. Same for some other people I know. Other people only had a sore arm though and seem fine. I probably got corona at the end of 2019. I thought it was just the flu with weird symptoms before it ‘officially” came over to Europe. I got sick from someone who was suspected to have it but there were no tests available to confirm. I have not gotten sick since then. I never took the flu vaccine so I could not see the logic of now suddenly taking this vaccine either because I already knew the actual disease was not that bad for me and I already had natural immunity. Weeks ago my classmates were are all dropping like flies. Literally everyone got sick from each other except for me so I guess my immunity is still going strong after 2 whole years or I got super lucky for 2 whole years. They all had their boosters though and are also young and healthy. My mind is just wondering… Like… if they all got sick anyways after 3 injections….. Why are young healthy people being heavily encouraged to take these vaccines? And why discriminate who gets into a bar and who does not if everyone is going to get sick anyways? It’s starting to feel like a scam to me. If there is anything I have learnt from this whole thing is that QR codes suck, lockdowns are retarded and most people are cunts.

There's no way Isabella is having a jab, young people aren't at risk of covid so no reason to, her immune system will deal with it. I've never checked in anywhere or used them qr codes, I just say no I don't want to and nobody refused me entrance yet.

      Editing … I watch a lot of conspiracy stuff on YouTube the mudflood one is probably the most mental I've seen. But people believe rocks are petrified giant trees and all kinds of stuff. I watched so many flat earth videos I actually learned a lot about physics, refraction and the moon and space. I even know the formula to work out potential energy due to gravity, so flat earth made me smarter. I love alien documentaries too. I'm yet to see anything on YouTube to convince me of anything though, smart people wouldn't use YouTube, they'd write a science paper.

      Editing … I can believe the tap thing. There's little stopping them from putting something in the water to make us complacent. And I hear fluoride actually has that effect. As for vaccines, I imagine the main incentive is profit for the drug companies, and less likely an attempt to poison/brainwash us. Otherwise, why wouldn't they'd include doses of the vaccine in the tap? =D ..P.S. Simply telling us to get the vaccine and implementing mandates is a authoritarian flex. These things make us fall in line and ostracize those who oppose. There doesn't need to be anything in the vaccine itself for it to achieve this effect.

There needs to be some proper study done to convince me. I mean, does flouride just pick people at random? I need to know. How come somebody that's drunk it half what I have has gone gay and not me? Sportsmen drink more water than most but I've never seen a sportsman just turn gay. There's that kardashian freak though I suppose....

Project blue beam too and Saturn's hexagon devil worship. Do you know about psychedelics being used by the CIA and the CIA manipulating the hippie movement? Oh wait, that's not a theory but a fact just like CIA promoting certain art to help with the propaganda in the cold war…. Uuuh….. You know about ancient civilisations having advanced technology and levitation?.

      Editing … MK Ultra, yeah. They tried all sorts, even something to put in the water to turn Russian soldiers gay, I kid you not! The military are always looking for an edge and are responsible for 99.9% of ufo sightings too. Big black triangles appear over Belgium and Austin and then a few years later the B2 bomber gets announced to the public. They even tried that remote viewing. I am actually almost certain that ancient civilisations had advanced technology, in fact I'm certain that we have completely got it all wrong with the dates and humans are older than the current estimate. I see no reason why humans couldn't have been living in cities a few tens of thousands of years before what we think and the ice age fucked them over or climate change or whatever, there's proven to be tons of old ruins on the seabed off the coasts. I can get behind that theory. I can even accept the ancient alien theory. No wait, don't roll your eyes and click on something else, hear me out! If aliens did visit, and I'm not saying they did, then it would have taken them I dunno 40k years to get here? So they probably would have just got here and lived out life and died and that was the end. Nobody been back yet because it just takes so damn long. I mean, we can set off in a spaceship to the nearest star almost with the technolgy we have now, it's just gonna take forever. So I think it IS possible, I certainly wouldn't rule it out. I like to watch documentaries on this kind of conspiracy theory because it's genuinely interesting. Anything to do with history I'm all over it.

      Editing … You know about the phantom time hypothesis? It’s the theory that the middle ages did not happen. It's like some guy made an ai program that analyses texts. The program concluded that the texts the literature we have about that time were just fan fiction or something. The texts looked too much structurally like other texts. Like someone made them up. There is also little archaeological evidence of a certain time period. According to this we are living in the year 1724 or something. Sounds dope. Now I need a wig and corset.
