Candace Owens Suspects Moon Landing Fraud

[rogue06]

Can you expound upon that, please?

You yourself noted the popularity of moon landing denialism is among millennials.

[Ronson]

I guess this should be expected with the government and MSM increasingly trying to gaslight everyone

Still disappointed with Owens though. She's otherwise very intelligent.

She sounded incredulous that moon-landing science existed in 1969, when she should be incredulous that moon-landing fakery would exist at that time. And beside the fact that Soviet scientists were watching our every move - and those scientists accepted it. And they would be the first to look for fakery.

Poor Candace is simply out of her league on this one.

[Mountain Man]

Yes. Definitely cuter than the SNL chick who spoofed her.

I always enjoyed science, even though my actual education in it is not extensive and not current. The last two years have really soured my view.

Politics has spoiled science.

Apparently denial of Hellen Keller and pro-flat-earth and 'mudflood/Tartarian Empire' are the new popular ones amongst Gen Z. Moon landing denialism is so 90s-00s

I think she is just trolling. Thus the "Light hearted fun" comment.

Besides, everyone knows that the moon doesn't exist.

You and rogue06 just had to eat all of that cheese. Luckily we were able to set up a gravity generator and hologram projector to make it look like that never happened.

You conflated youths’ distrust of government with their distrust of science. Most young people today don’t doubt the achievements of science. Rather, they distrust the economic and political system they were born into, which clearly has been broken for some time.

Well, kinda, yeah, but...

Then there's stuff like this...

New survey results: Almost 9 in 10 young people feel scientists and politicians are leaving them out of the COVID-19 conversation

Source: Moon landing hoax? US millennials believe NASA faked the Moon landing and UFOs visit Earth

NASA landed the first man on the Moon 50 years ago this month on July 20, 1969. The Apollo 11 mission saw astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins fly to the Moon and back. But half-a-century later, conspiracists still doubt NASA with one-in-10 Americans accusing the space agency of faking the Moon landing. A new poll conducted ahead of the 50th Apollo 11 anniversary has found the highest number of these so-called truthers fall within the millennial age bracket.

If only they had never made the movie "Capricorn !" ...

OT, but could you briefly explain the "Hellen Keller" bit?

There's currently a Gen Z conspiracy theory that Hellen Keller was an actress who faked her deaf-blind disability for notoriety, etc. It varies from her willfully doing it to it being a plot by Anne Sullivan and she was just a pawn.

It can be tempting to be anti-establishment for its own sake.

That was about a Mars mission, but yeah - I thought the same thing.

I think that for most it is more contrarian than anti-establishment

Where is Buzz Aldrin when we need him?
