How is the idea that the u.s government has a secret space program that is flying around the universe under our noses with godlike technology hateful/racist/bigoted?

Is it now racist/hateful/bigoted to believe in alien technology conspiracies just because anything that's not official government information can be automatically labeled as such? I think the whole solar warden thing and the universe of b.s around it is kind of fun in a timecube kind of way and that attitude that anything that contradicts the government is racist/hateful/bigoted has killed a lot of the fun of the internet.



It's part of the post-fact world that was built up by Dugin's design. This is central to destabilization efforts. They've been trying this for a very long time - Eastern Europe was flooded with shoddily printed ufology magazines in the late 90s, often mentioning topics or sightings in Russia, and in retrospect probably just straight-up translations of centrally written articles.


I'm with you, it's fun. I got Coast to Coast vibes reading one of the pages on it. and I remembered Gary McKinnon from a Count Dankula video about him - didn't realize the conspiracy theory was connected to what he saw when he hacked NASA in 2002.


Sorry, I guess I read other things into "hateful/racist/bigoted" than reasonable. Conspiracy theories have become so insanely dangerous that I saw red flags. Might be a language issue, I am from Estonia.


Its the new communism.

Anything I do not like is racist/hateful/bigoted.


It's the new nationalism.

Anything that wasn't in an official press release from my government, party, or King is foreign subversion.


Feels similar to the new McCarthyism.

Anything I do not like is communist.
