  • If you’re talking about the live show they did in LA, then yeah, she struggled there. I personally think she’s been doing much better now that the tour is underway.

    She’s not there to replace Chester, and I appreciate how much she lets the crowd sing his songs. As Mike put it, we’re the ones standing in for Chester. Emily is just a new addition ❤️

    People are going way too hard on that shit. The most recent link to Scientology is a picture from 2013. The Masterson stuff she released a statement saying she attended the preliminary hearing, but dissociated from him when the evidence came to light.

    She has avoided talking about Scientology but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for now. They are a seriously scary bunch to deal with and I wouldn’t blame her for not directly denouncing them in fear of what they may do. We’re talking about a corrupt organisation which actively destroys the lives of its dissenters without remorse.

    I’m sure Mike would not vibe well with a genuine rape apologist and mental health denier given Chester’s past. At the end of the day, even if I don’t trust Emily 100%, I trust Mike Shinoda, and if he says she’s cool, then I’m willing to believe him.

    I don’t doubt that many proposals were made well before 9/11, but that attack certainly proved a catalyst in getting them approved.

    Basically: we want to control citizens > citizens don’t want to be controlled > create a scenario in which they want to be controlled > control citizens

    Might take a few years between implementation and the desired result, but politics is always a slow march towards authoritarianism.

    Also, the fact it was labelled as the counter terrorism act. Not much call for a counter terrorism act of there isn’t much terrorism happening. No better way to say “we need this” than an actual terrorist attack happening.

    I like you.

    Like, this is what conspiracy should be - actually somewhat believable - and not dumb shit like flat earth.

    I always held that 9/11 was dubious. Not an “inside job” per se, but definitely a case of “we’re gonna turn our backs for just a second, and you terrorists better not do something silly while we’re not looking!”

    One of the biggest things that will always stick out to me: the WMDs. They were adamant Iraq had them. They said they had actual evidence. None of it was true. It all came across as an excuse for ol’ George to go in and try to finish what daddy started in '91.

    Just to be clear as well, I think other conspiracies such as the controlled demolition of the towers and the fake plane at the pentagon are bullshit. I don’t have my tinfoil hat on that tightly.
