He believes climate change is overrated, its an idea overrun by the establishment to sell green energy. He has nothing nice to say about Greta Thunberg - he thinks she is a complete tool of the establishment.

He believes in the science behind a lot of good ideas, but then points to the big money that bankrolls most research.
I have two friends like yours. One of them is really just a nut-case with a wealth of data, but the other cites more relevant data, and is organized and coherent enough that it's hard to argue with him. Plus, he was my golfing buddy before I realized he was into this stuff, so I had him pegged for down-to-earth, not from-outer-space. These conspiracy theorists always seem to have minds like steel traps!

You should hear his theories about COVID-19. After listening to the details on why we had WWII and of course, Kennedy, I was not surprised that he had a full arsenal of information to back his COVID-19 thoughts. 5G in Wuhan, Bill Gates, etc .

I love reading the unexplained mysteries and paranormal forums they are hilarious. Yes the wackos have great points and know a lot about the subject. Unfortunately it is always wrong and makes 0 sense. It is like a 6 year old trying to explain quantum physics to you. It don't make sense even if you don't think about it but damn are they serious about it.

My favorite part by far is how they are always being proven wrong. They somehow completely forget about that and move on to the next bat $hit crazy belief. Another amazing one is the people that think tv/movies about paranormal activities are real.

I have a couple from California that are my dearest friends. Robin, Johns wife and I disagree on every point. Love them to death but our opinions are night and day. Texas vs California. I asked her to watch the video as I told her it was made by a life long green deal director. She only got half way through and it sicken her to tears. Everything she was lead to believe is a lie and she’s mad as hell. At least I was able to turn one person on to it so far.

Glad to hear.
I have an older female friend who is a die hard believer, gut hook sheep, who refuses to even watch it. I honestly think she is afraid of knowing the truth and admit that she has been duped.

Absolutely! It is much easier telling someone something they want to hear rather than telling them something they don't.
