This is pettier than the usual dunk tank post, but this sub is like a microcosm of propaganda. These people are convinced there's multiple species of aliens on earth already because some moths have flown across security cameras at night and Vegas lights reflect in the clouds sometimes.
I guess I can bring it back to how America is bad, since this is exactly what the CIA wants.
I don't mean to criticize you for posting this because it's absolutely worth examining, but I feel like using c/dunktank to explore this topic is almost a form of punching down. It's nothing to do with the content of your post - it's just that this guy is clearly suffering from some sort of mental health episode and reaching out for support.
Like I said, it's a good topic. I just don't think we should frame it as a dunk.
Punching down on who? UFOs are strictly anglo-nato-brain phenomena. They damn near only appear in countries with US air force bases.
that map means less than nothing without examining how the data was collected. reported to whom? who collected the data? were efforts made to combine databases from all the different countries? do all countries even have databases that a large number of people both know about and can report to? did the data collector translate reports in other languages?
like, I doubt someone in China or Zimbabwe is gonna report (in English) to a US website if they see something strange in the sky.
idc one way or the other about the topic but we gotta be more critical when encountering data presented like this
Well duh. Aliens are comrades and they need to assess their enemy. :posadas:
I shared some 4chan post the other day about a quote unquote leaker.
essentially, his main point was that the supposed aliens act in a zoo keeper type way, seem to be particularly interested in war and nuclear weapons especially, and seem to observe more in areas of radiation, including non western countries' nuclear plants.
From that frame, it makes sense most of the sightings are over the psycho-sphere of the US and associated military bases where nukes may be on standby.
I'm not necessarily convinced either way on "aliens in da ocean", but man, is it bad I sorta want it to be true?
Give me a replacement god that will save us from nuclear annihilation pls.
:hexbear-posadist:
It's fine to want to believe. Just don't succumb to it like the people on the subreddit.
I'd have to know a lot more about this idea before being down with it. Zoo keeper aliens would have technology beyond our understanding, so why would they appear in these giant crafts? If they wanted to observe us I'd reckon they have swarms of microscopic drone cameras everywhere, or they're some kind of hive mind.
Are they just glitches or what? I'd think any alien so advanced they can just watch us, without detection, simply wouldn't ever get observed by us. Or we wouldn't even be able to figure out what we're seeing.

This was the 4chan thread in reference. The main idea is they do have technology just beyond our understanding, a mothership that creates and destroys both drones and "manned" craft as needed, and some kind of engine with a rare element that they're protective over.
the 4chan op believes it to be some kind of military operation. Talks about weapon tech that would allow them to vaporize us all whenever and they opt not to.
Describes abductions as basically taking a pulse on population health, and mentions they're more common in more unhealthy areas. Also describes mining operations for materials they can gather on earth.
Overall interesting theory. I know folks who have reasonable claims of seeing things in the sky that can't be described by just light tricks. Some of these things coincide with what OP talked about, but he also could just be writing elaborate fiction using publicly available observations to make it sound more believable.
I do find the idea a bit exciting. Not at all proof or conclusive though.
Nah, that 4chan thread sucked. The OP claims that out of some super secret team, he was the only one in his twenties, meaning if the super secret team wants to find out who's leaked the info, they would already know who leaked it since it would be the only person on the team who's less than 30 years old. "Uh, I'm dying from cancer, so that's why I'm leaking the info because I have nothing to lose" isn't very convincing. OP could, of course, be lying about his age, but there's no point to do so except to be slightly more relatable to 4channers. What's far more likely is OP is a twenty something year old making shit up and trying to lampshade why a twenty something year old would be hanging out with people in their fifties.
Yeah, that's fair. I probably should have posted it somewhere else. the_dunk_tank just feels like the "link to other social media comm" and I did it without thinking. Mostly wanted to discuss how people can be easily convinced of very extreme things.
capitalist ideology moment
