ZeroHedge is the type of site that will quickly be labelled alt-right, fake news etc. in reality they tend to just interpret events in much more extreme ways but still rely on largely factual sources. I find the commentary to be much more thought provoking than consensus outlets. Glad to see some fellow HN'ers peruse the site.
Quite right, like this [1] 100% factual not at all bullshit scientifically sound article on climate change. Thought provoking indeed. [1] https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-09-05/5-surprising-scien...
It seems like anything even remotely threatening the climate change gospel is treated just as the Catholic Church treated heretics centuries ago. AGW has ascended (descended?) into religious territory where even the slightest criticism of the “truth” is treated as blasphemous. It’s like many of the climate alarmists have turned into old school evangelicals that avoid wine and dancing out of fear it’ll rile up the devil. Except in the climate version of this story, wine and dancin’ has become plastic straws and cheeseburgers.
It’s like a more Insta-worthy version of a doomsday cult.

Literally, global warming activists, including presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren, are saying we have 11 years or less left of Earth, it’s hard to take that hysteria seriously considering it sounds just like every other doomsday cult from the past thousand years. Al Gore told us we should be underwater by now. His predictions too, were about 12 years away. Just far enough away as to be impossible to immediately fact-check but close enough to scare people.
The Zero Hedge article is actually factual, unlike the “we only have 11/12 years“ mantra that has increased in volume. Make no mistake, the climate movement isn’t about temperatures, it’s about redistribution and the control of the means of production.

#94Not sure how much one can trust a site that thinks nuclear weapons aren't real. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-08-06/atom-bomb-annivers... "The attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrible and tragic. But whether they were results of “atom” bombs (certainly in the sense that people understand them today) is at least seriously questionable."
I like the random numerology, really adds weight to the argument:
>We’ve reported that a squadron of 66 bombers were launched on August 6th (666) to bomb the municipality of Imabari, even though Imabari. had been bombed already, twice.
>This bombing squadron may well have fire-bombed Hiroshima instead, as Hiroshima was not far away.
According to early surviving versions of Revelations, the number of the beast is actually 616 - https://web.archive.org/web/20080110172555/http://news.natio... - however this revelation doesn't appear to have filtered through to the conspiratoraly minded as of yet.

#95Evidence we are not in a bubble and that markets are mostly sane currently.
I came here to post the opposite: cancellation of frothy IPOs is a good sign of a coming downturn, isn't it?

#97I know most HN readers look down upon the site, but I really like Zero Hedge's take on this. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-09-09/2-letters-20-billi... > Super-voting stock – Zuck did that and it worked out in the end > Accelerating losses – Look at all that revenue growth > Zero possibility of profits – Hasn’t mattered for years > Convoluted insider dealings on property leases – Property GPs always double dip s…

666 is Gematria numerology applied to Nero’s name in Greek, 616 is what you get with the Latin spelling, it’s more of a confirmation than a contradiction

Wow, you're the guy who ran the fake tender offer for Fitbit, made $3k, and went to prison? Ouch. :)
Well, most of that is accurate.
Also forfeiture doesn't account for the fact that you may have paid capital gains tax. I feel like they really shafted me on that one.
