Anyone else “awake” here?

Maybe not the place to post but thought it might be interesting to find out if there is an awake component to MN.

I’m not here for judgement or criticism, just want to find more of my own.

When will the sea creatures be joining the thread?

I view myself as awake in the sense you describe. FWIW, I have a science/maths background.

Limiting myself to one small point about covid mentioined above, ... how crazy was it that it took months before the mainstream press reported that there was a virology lab in Wuhan?

Even then it was 'the science deniers are now saying covid came from a lab'. Global narrative control or systematic journalistic and governmental incompetence?

What you “feel” is right..

might just be your own self indulgence and an easy, lazy path to false enlightenment?

have you ever considered that

🥳🥳 score one for the bingo card!! "Done my research", not further specified. My favourite!

Praying for the Lizard people poster to come into this thread - it’s been a minute since we last heard that one!!

Why so hostile? Why do you believe all your sources of information without checking yourself?

So the brain worms fella, Kennedy, is he awake? He claims to have done his research.

It is very interesting, I agree. And I know what feels right to me too.

So if you have become a cynic, why do you trust what this other lot are telling you? Surely you should be cynical about everything they say as well.

Moltenpink · 06/03/2026 23:39

Genuine question. When you say “the government” are you referring to Boris, Matt Hancock etc? Or is it another secret layer that aren’t public facing?

Not particularly hostile really I don’t think

just pointing out the common flaws in people that claim to be “awake” that’s all.

quite often they’re very not paying attention, ime.

Yes I am equally cynical, that’s true. I question it all, that’s the whole point. And I sure as hell don’t trust governments, with their track records.

So what are your thoughts on the whole Epstein thing?

This is your thread and you've not actually specified any beliefs. So who knows where I stand compared to you or any research I've done. But, yes, if, for example I were to come on here discussing covid vaccines, I'd be bringing reputable sources and peer reviewed studies. Often I find "awake" people cite blogs and fluff pieces by random people. Or simply tell you to do your own research.

I leave research to the people who are qualified to do it.

Seeing as Wuhan is in China and the Chinese government is not given to telling the West what they are up to, it is a wonder the news came out at all.

It was only twenty to eleven when you posted(UK). I expect there are loads of people awake. It’s hardly the dead of night!

The internet is full of shit. And so is our government.

And yet here you are, posting on a public forum on the internet…

charlatanne · 06/03/2026 23:50

What I was trying to post before is why the anger? So what if some people believe the earth is flat, Covid was a lie in order to kill off the population and climate change is a scaremongering tactic?
We can also believe in Adam and Eve, 72 virgins, reincarnation, heaven, whatever we want.
Tinfoil hat, quack, denier, they are all ways to try to shut people up. Let’s chat, and if you don’t like it, so what.

Tesco. They sell do-it-yourself kits in the shape of rolls of extra-strong turkey foil, but only in November and December under the guise of it being for Christmas. They can't sell it all year round, or the secret would get out.

<Pssst... don't tell anyone I told you that>
