Dude wtf is up that? ! I was talking to a fellow skater at the shop and he says he's  a flat earther so im like screw it I'll  indulge him see what he says and out of nowhere he starts blaming everything  on Jewish folk! I was confused and disappointed in him since he seemed cool for so long

It's because of predisposition and the subsequent escalation that can result. Past a certain point all you have to do is suggest a conspiracy with a low effort meme and they'll immediately believe it.

I don’t promote anti-intellectual things but I will say this. I had a bit of a sabbatical from work and traveled within the US and Europe for a bit. When I came back, I was definitely fried. The constant stimulation and lack of normal routine or sense of purpose at times while behind the wheel of life. And just think, that’s the lifestyle that they are constantly living for years, not just a few months. We’d all be uncivilized.

Despite being an influential figure and the obvious observation that the earth is not flat, does he not have a right to believe otherwise?

[close]

I don't think there is or should be a right to believe otherwise on things that are scientifically and/or empirically proven beyond doubt, such as the shape of the earth, the non-existence of lizardpeople, the benefit of vaccines and gun control, etc.

It's different with things like life after death, extraterrestrial life or even capitalist vs socialist economies.

And maybe there's a worthy discussion to be had about where exactly to draw the line between those two things - facts vs theories.

But I don't think skating's most important media outlet should adopt this negligent stance towards idiocy in an age where idiots have stormed the capitol.

“Negligent stance towards idiocy”    Maybe you should be more concerned with thrasher and skateboarding in general idealizing for decades the lifestyle of dropping out of high school in order to cram into the tum yeto van to tour the Midwest and drinking enough beer by 22 to compliment the slams in erasing what ever previous schooling you did attend.

Yeah good point

Look I agree with you in the broader sense, I just wouldn’t look to skateboarding or it’s media for any hopes of critical thinking or accountability.   

Everything that happens from Danny Way to Andy Roy to Yonnie is treated as an anecdote (or just something that happened) rather than have an opinion positive or negative about it.    This at least had a thin sliver of judgment that it’s a stupid world view and I’ll take the crumbs I can get sometimes.

We shouldn't look to skate media as it is for critical thinking but couldn't we strive for it to be better instead of just saying "that's how it is"? When you have people on the nine club saying gravity doesn't exist and all the hosts can muster up in response is "well bro that's an interesting thought". Or when a skater fucking rapes someone and everyone just goes "Ah man he can't have done anything wrong he had such nice switch heels". Anti-intellectualism and lack of accountability is rife in skateboarding, it's a bummer to see, makes us all look like fucking idiots and is damaging to younger skaters. You only have to look at this place to see that skaters are full of intelligent and thoughtful discussion (for the most part). This celebration of idiocy should be phased out.

I wouldnt care If the flat earth society would solely think that the earth is flat and not round. The Problem about flat earthers ist that they believe in a world wide cospirancy, deny science and facts and most of the time are highly anti semitic.

A lot of conspiracy theory is routed in antisemitism. Why exactly I'm not sure

[Mariatorresflores]

damn this thread is depressing

first off who in the world cares about blake carpenter thinking it is flat? what actual real life difference does that make to anyone?
it s a quick laugh i get it, but goin on about this in all seriousness just seems pretty much as strange as the flat earth theory itself.

but also reading a lot of these comments i feel like i m a conservative club or something- where are the days of playing with fucked up thoughts just for the sake of it...

wasn t skateboarding one of the few places where it never mattered if you were bugged out? strange days for sure

For Some one who read the thread you didn't retain much information from it apparently.

Don't forget the Jewish space laser; having access to that thing would be pretty sweet as well.

I lived in a small town for a bit. Some 40 something dipshit came into the local cafe and started shouting, "I'm woke baby. I'm woke... the world is flat. I've been watching YouTube videos."

He went into some nonsense and I ended up asking him, "Why would the military, corporations, the schools, etc. all lie to us about the world being round?"

His response was, "They're trying to take our religion away from us."

I told him, to no avail, "You're Catholic. Your religion has no problem with the world being round and the sun being the centre of the solar system."

Dude ignored me and got the rest of the dipshits riled up about the world being flat; insanely stupid and aggravating.

Decent

I fully agree with the whole “rape” incidents/accusations , that’s never OK and anyone who’s guilty of it should be exiled from skateboarding/life.

As far as looking to the slap message board for a guiding light into the skateboard community’s intelligence? Yes.. and No.. this place isn’t any different than twitter. Sure, there are intelligent  people here, but there’s also a lot of close mindedness…I’m sure if someone doesn’t fully agree with the popular political and cultural views on this message board they are a “right wing nut job” correct? Also,, isn’t the skate community big on compassion for mental health issues? If so, you should be looking at skateboarders that believe in ridiculous theories like “the earth being flat” as a mental condition and that this person is in need of help and compassion..instead of making fun of them for having a warped view of reality. Or is that practice only for selective virtue signaling to make one feel good about themselves?
