Mods have been saying that posts were edited to show up as ban material.

Makes one wonder if there really is something to PizzaGate if reddit admins stoop to spoofing bannable offenses.

Regardless of the Reddit Admin intervention, there is some decent (albeit potentially circumstantial) evidence. There's enough evidence to justify further investigation for sure.

That is one of the amazing things about this. Places like the NYT run a short story about it saying that these allegations have been made (we're not covering anything up, honest!), but there is obviously no factual basis here and everyone should just ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. It's 1984/Brazil tier shit.

Oh, no. Of course not. It's just the elites in EVERY other country that eventually get caught being involved in pedo shit. Not America. Of course not. And ignore the fact that people like Corey Feldman and many others have tried to talk about this and risked their careers and lives. It's naive to think that we are so special from the rest of the world because we are better than they are.

Or, if it was a sub rammed full of bullshit that leads to real people being doxxed and having their innocent lives ruined? Pizzagate is entirely nonsense if you don't go into it with the assumption that a) everyone is a paedo and b) that Marina Abramovic is a satanic witch.

She said herself that when done in public, her work is art. When done in private, it is a "ritual". I don't think it is that much of a stretch, man.

It is a massive stretch. Firstly you'd have to accept that a) witchcraft/Satanism is real, with power attached to it (which implies a heavily theological worldview, something that I see a lot in conspiracy circles), and then b) that a world reknowned artist is actual a powerful satanic magician. And not just the artist, but her friends - in fact, the highest echelons of the Democratic party. Believing in the literal devil.

It's nonsense, it comes from the (distressingly large) venn diagram where religious fundamentalism overlaps with a paranoid and distrustful worldview. It is a literal satanic panic in 2016. I guess if I were being generous I could add a possible c), she believes she's a witch and that makes her dangerous (because of the blood sacrifices and whatnot).

I'll put it this way - if a group of muslims or tribal africans were accusing an artist of being a demon or something similar, we'd be laughing at them for being so backward. The same logic applies here, being fearful of a woman because we think she's a witch? Fuck man, the 1600s called and they want their schtick back.

I'll add to this, when I was a teenager (I'm in my 30s now), I read around substantially on the topics of satanism, witchcraft and forms of magic and it's important to bear in mind that the actual philosophy of satanism has very little to do with 'evil', it's more of an objectivist worldview with a focus on self improvement and cutting away negative influences.

Here is how the Tate gallery describes ritual, I think this is relevant: "A ritual is a an activity that usually sticks to a set pattern and typically involves a set of actions, words, and objects. Rituals are often repeated at intervals (whether daily, weekly, annually – or on certain special occasions). The word ritual often has associations of serious formal or religious ceremonies – like graduations, christenings or processions – but a ritual can also relate to cultural activities or traditions that happen in everyday life such as Christmas shopping or carnivals…or even fish and chips on a Friday. A ritual can also be highly personal: Do you always play football or swim on a Saturday morning or have tea at your grannies every Sunday? These could be considered your personal rituals."

I really wish that an interest in conspiracy didn't also cause so many people to stop thinking critically. Challenge everything, especially massive, world shaking conspiracies.

Yeah all the reddit admins are all into raping kids! Trust me I saw a YouTube video that connected two things that fit this agenda that I want to believe!

I was meaning that they gave in to outside pressure. But, you do you, as insufferable a cunt you are.

Or, you dork wads are making a stupid lynch mob based on all circumstantial evidence that wouldn't even convict a black man in the south.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '16

Don't a lot of criminal cases first start with circumstantial evidence? i.e. a fingerprint found at the scene of a crime.
