    Yeah, someone not believing the notion that the “armed left” is about to stage their insurrection is totally a ciamossadfbi spook. Maybe I am the spook and maybe you really have detailed information on when and where the United People’s Liberation Army of the Free and Democratic Republic of, I dunno, Eastern Minnesota will finally make their stand!

    Or maybe, everyone on this God damn platform is just LARPing.

    To quote some German songwriter: “Du hast Angst, dass sie dich töten, weil du einfach zu viel weißt. Ich hab Angst, dass du dir glaubst, dass du im Ernst so wichtig seist.”

    I had a friend who believed in that. She tried to explain to my then GF how her having a symmetrical face means she’s definitely a Libra.

    Now, I loved her to bits but my ex-partner did not have a symmetrical face. Few people have. But apparently the way stars aligned on her birthday meant she must have one, so that friend insisted on it.

    This isn’t reason or just a different jargon. This is woo-woo. Sitting down everyday, trying to manifest a leading role in a famous TV show but doing nothing else to get this because “manifestation will do its thing” isn’t jargon.

    That friend was someone I got along with. Because she did not try to convince me that vaccines are evil and instead I should just do a spirit cleanse. Like others tried to. This “jargon” is accompanied by fundamentally different ideas about how and why things happen and can lead to anti-scientism.

    Lastly, yes, I consider sound healing bogus. The idea that frequencies alone can heal serious injuries is dumb. The difference between acknowledging that vibrations picked up by the brain can assist in a healing process and the idea that this can somehow replace any other treatment is fundamentally unreasonable.
