Title: Who to trust, to form your reality?
Post by: Matthew on September 28, 2025, 01:03:30 PM
How can anyone calling himself a Catholic be so STUPID as to simply TRUST the MSM to be telling them the truth?

Who turns off their brain, and lets the Media do all their thinking for them? Even when it makes NO sense, and actually goes AGAINST common sense?

Especially someone who grew up playing outside, using his brain, thinking for himself, normal socializing, etc. as was the case with Gen X and older.

The man who posted this brain-rot had "fuddy duddy" as part of his handle. $100 says he's a Baby Boomer.

Putin is worried sick over NATO coming in to join the fight.
He warns NATO not to enter the battlefield.
He will retaliate possibly with NUKES... we already know...
He is losing on the battle field and cannot even gain ground in Ukraine...until he unites with China and the Muslims

Russia has lost 1,107,400 soldiers since the beginning of thw war Feb 24,2022
Ukraine has lost from 46,000 to 100,000 soldiers and citizens in the same time period.

Those loss numbers are insane, "plug my ears and chant la-la-la" propaganda.

Most military losses are due to artillery. That is a fact. Russia outmatches Ukraine on artillery by a wide margin, from the beginning of the war until today. Russia has weapon systems (such as the FABs) that Ukraine has no equivalent for. That's just the FIRST reason those numbers are garbage. Also the fact that Ukraine has been having a "manpower shortage" for some time. And the fact that Ukraine is losing territory on a daily basis. 

But I know, "muh orcs", "muh meatwaves", "muh evil dictator Putin" and "Two More Weeks and Russia will collapse". Trust the Plan, right?

How can people fall for such obvious brain rot?

Well, to be fair to the naive, Matthew . . .  you were fooled by QAnon and ggreg and many other things. You never suspected that VoxClamantis thought that "anti-Judaism has nothing in common with Catholicism." 

I suppose we all have our little foibles.

Fooled by Qanon? I was interested in it, I was following it. I was giving it a fair hearing. I didn't dismiss it out of hand. Yes, in the end Qanon turned out to be garbage, so in that general sense I was "fooled by Qanon". But strictly speaking, you should define "fooled by it". I wasn't up-ending my life. I didn't go to the capital and protest or something. I didn't donate any money. What is the difference between being "fooled" and just giving it the benefit of the doubt, or looking into it? Or indulging a *bit* of hope, based on the evidence you have *at the time*?

Hindsight is 20/20. Someone isn't "more right" than me because they got off the Qanon train sooner. They might have been *foolish* or *rash* for doing so, but turned out to be *accidentally* correct. That was luck, not skill.

As for ggreg and Vox Clamantis, I have no idea what the heck you're talking about. How did either of them fool me? I allowed ggreg to stay on CathInfo a while, until I banned him, but how is that different from allowing all sorts of OTHER characters on CathInfo I don't personally like or get along well with? If I banned him the minute I disliked him, wouldn't I take 100X as much criticism for that? For being heavy-handed and running an echo chamber?

I was never fooled by Vox Clamantis. I was a fervent ex-seminarian spouting the truth about everything during the months I was on Fisheaters back in 2005-2006. I was banned for opposing some woman while she was trying to emote. On CathInfo, I exposed and criticized Vox for years -- while she was still relevant.

Don't even try to give me that "bad today? Was always bad." nonsense. People change. Forums change. Groups change. Movements change. The minute a person/group/etc crosses the line, that's when you leave. But not a moment before.

95% of your posts are just criticisms of others.  I’ve never seen you make a coherent statement besides mumbling about (them).  Expand your horizons, man.
