sounds like sacred geometry hoodoo to me.

(Get your youtube blockers ready, and get some popcorn. That one's a doozie.)

You know they're full of shit when they talk about the ancients knowing about "Lemuria". That's where I stopped watching.

The entire idea of lemuria dates from only the mid 19th century, to explain why there are lemurs (hence the name) on both Madagascar and in India. This was before the theory of continental drift, so some scientists postulated a sunken land bridge between the two locations, dubbed Lemuria. The theory was abandoned when continental drift theory was established. Then, occultists decided it was real and had a lost civilization similar to Atlantis based on ... nothing basically. So, anyone stating "ancient knowledge of Lemuria" is completely full of shit. It's a fairly modern invention. No ancient source references such a place. It's similar with Ley-lines. They were only postulated around the 1920s/1930s by one guy as a theory that anicent Brits used landmarks laid out in lines for land navigation purposes, and then got dusted off again in a book in 1969 by another guy claiming "ley lines are real, and they're like magical and shit and the ancients knew all about them". Except for the fact that no historical source before 1969 even hints at such a thing.

I think you are missing the point about needing popcorn. :D

[it's kinda like watching the star wars christmas special (warning, it is not suitable for any audience. Note the wikipedia article as to why if you do not already know about this phenomenon.), or Rocky Horror picture show. You KNOW what it is, and how terrible, but it is entertaining in a macabre way.]

(It's the whole "Energy vibrations!" and "critical mass" of "group consciousness" elements of that twitter post that made me draw the video in question to the front, but you have to get the popcorn, and watch the whole hour long mental torture marathon to get the reference.)

Well, like anybody with a brain can see, I find it obvious Williamson is nothing but an amusing example of how insane someone can be and yet get taken seriously.

Literally a fucking "woo healing crystals" dumbfuck here, if you're associated with Oprah and haven't punched McCarthy in the face until she shuts up, you're a shitbag, therefore Williamson is a shitbag.

She's also literally fucking nobody compared to Harris, who just the other night literally shot a man to death on national tv and seems to have gotten away with it.

Which one? the 'woo healing crystals' or the 'literally killed a man'? I'm not sure on the healing crystals, but Williamson is definetly fringe, if there's a loony candidate this year, she's it. As for Harris 'literally killed a man', perhaps not literally literally, but Biden pretty much got killed out there.

I was mostly concerned with "Harris, who just the other night literally shot a man to death on national tv and seems to have gotten away with it", as that seemed somewhat intriguing.

I found the "guilty person is just an innocent person covered in misunderstanding" one disturbing, and the "when you're missing someone, it just means they've come to visit spiritually" one unconvincing but comforting. The rest...

That was a well executed line, obvious prep or not, and it gave the impression that "this is someone who can throw down with the big orange turdsack" to me at least.

Like, her history as one is largely what makes me pretty unwilling to support her at the mo', but there's relatively few things out there as able to jam a stick in trump's eye (maybe metaphorically, maybe literally) as a DA/AG. A lawyer or whatever with no reason to back down is basically the shitgibbon's greatest weakness (after normal human weaknesses like sticks jammed into the eyeball, anyway).

I wonder which candidate takes climate change the most seriously, and whether any candidates are planning on adding term limits to congress

O’Rourke, Booker, Yang, Hickenlooper, Gillibrand, Julian Castro, Delaney, William Weld (R), and Trump (R) have all endorsed congressional term limits at some point.
