Powerful people committing horrific human-rights violations just to satisfy their own ego?

Damn, that's never happened in the history of anything. /s

This reminds me of a year or so ago when conservatives kept claiming "Trans sexual assaults in bathrooms were up" and it turned out that Trans people were the victims and not the perpetrators.

This is truly the most evil way of framing a headline. To make the victim the perpetrator and the perpetrator the victim.

There is this classic:

"I am the righteous hand of god, and I am the devil that you forgot." - Poor Man's Poison

Unionize.

Unionize.

The history channel's take, as well as others, that ancient civilizations could not have accomplished what they accomplished on their own, and therefore it's aliens is peak Right-wing cope.

"Obviously those backwards non-white civilizations couldn't have accomplished this on their own, because of their skin color. So therefore, the obvious solution is that they accomplished it because a hyper-intelligent space-fairing civilization took notice of their existence and arbitrarily decided to help them. This makes much more sense." - Thought process of the utterly deranged.

Genuinely the only reason this smooth brain take is so popular is because its been echoed in media as an admittedly fun story-telling mechanism. But that's all it is, a story. To put this on the history channel and claim it's history is just one of the reasons why the History Channel has had their reputation sink in the past 20 years.

Yeah, the OIL joke is 20 years old.

We have so much more you can make fun of.

I like Lemons.

Yet Youtube allows for AI-Generated pseudo-science videos to flood their platform.
