If I had a sufficiently powerful laser I could point it at one of the retroreflectors they put up there and get a reflection back, there is actual proof, and the fact that the Soviets even acknowledged it says a lot about its veracity. Do you think that just because some of the stuff that the US says is true that I’m to take the other things at face value without proof? If NBC cites CBS cites AP cites Reuters cites CBS cites NBC… am I supposed to just be like oh well there’s a lot of citations so clearly it must be true? Please try to challenge this “west good by default” mindset that you have, it clouds your judgment.
Oh, good response. I should keep this in mind in the future when people try to call us “conspiracy theorists.” Establishing that we believe in things that have evidence behind them, and don’t just say everything the US says is a lie.
Many leftists conspiracy theories are just “Yeah, the US toppled this government and slaughtered a huge number of people. Here’s the CIA written article on the CIA website where they admit to it”.
I guess that’s why people never listen to us. Our conspiracy theories are boring. They’re all “shady government agents doing exactly what you’d expect them to do.”
We don’t get any fun stuff like secret cabals or lizard people or hologram moons. It’s all just real world espionage shit, which is much less fun and exciting than James Bond.
