Level: 9 CS Original | "I'm sorry to be a stereotypical Zeitgeist Movement supporter, but I have Asperger's syndrome." Lols. Is that a sockpuppet of someone here? "I think being normal is a syndrome too. I call it either the Chameleon or Poser Syndrome, depending." Oh man. | |||||

Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | Haha, Poser Syndrome. That is awesome. I wonder if there is a Jock Syndrome and a Cheerleader Syndrome. Man, that forum is so emotionally unhealthy. Every now and then I see someone over 30 posting and it is just embarrassing to even read. | |||||

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho: porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion! Level: 150 CS Original | I don't see many people from TZM committing mass suicide, much less suicide alone. Many of them are just too arrogant to think the world can exist without them. I also know for a fact most are unmotivated, or sometimes lazy, and unless "chaos" can be achieved from a desk chair in front of a computer, they won't be committing any acts of chaos. I've seen many movements like this before, and within several years it will be a rumor and most people on Earth still would have never heard of it. The Communist Party USA has a better chance of changing things in the US than TZM, and that definitely is not going to happen. | |||||

Level: 1 CS Original | "Will you be "LOL" when you hear the reports of these people commiting mass suicide or choas? I doubt it." -- Not be a whinger (or retain some of my old knacks from being a zeitgeister woo) but really what are we actually doing to publicly expose and stop Peter from continuing these operations any further?(sorry if I my humour seem out of the usual but I cant help that)Why are not doing our own mainstream awareness campaign?Why not going on radio shows that REAL people actually listen to to warn them about the possibility that this thing exists.I mean we could use all the material from anticultists blog and easily prevent Peter from doing this anymore.Sorry to go over the top here but what are we actually doing by just have armchair debates and poking fun at these people.Shouldnt we get experts who have experience at rescuing members from cults and dealing with them at our disposal? | |||||

President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho: porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion! Level: 150 CS Original | I think it'd only serve to give them more attention, they've been around for over a year and they barely have 30,000 forum members. The leader is super delusional and thinks within the next year or so they'll have several million members. His boasting about Times Square Garden didn't work in his favor, and ZDay was largely a failure. Interesting is falling off already, the best the new movie can do for Peter is make his movement more like Corky and less like Terri Schiavo, but not by much and not for long. | |||||

Paid Disinformation Blogger Level: 14 CS Original | I'm not convinced ZM is really a cult, although they definitely have some cult-like aspects such as obsessive leader worship, bunker mentality and a desire to insulate their followers from critical information. However, even if they are a cult I don't see them as a mass suicide or apocalyptic type cult. If you look at real cults of that nature, like the People's Temple for instance, you don't have to scratch the surface very hard before you find violent or apocalyptic themes in their teachings and rhetoric. Zeitgeisters are conspiracy theorists with delusions of grandeur, but I don't see very much that's violent about their platform, and as much as I disagree with Merola and what he stands for, I don't see him as advocating violence either against themselves or others. The thing that I think ZM is closest to, honestly, is Amway, which has also been described aas a cult, but if it is one it fits the definition just barely. | |||||

Level: 1 CS Original | yeah i guess so.But even though Peter,Jacques and Roxanne have not directly getting mainstram attention there has been some succes in for the Latvian and Greek chapters that have had their Zday events on national tv,so while the american chapter has had little media attention the european chapters have had some success (more than in america) but then that could lead to people finding out about the three and thus probably become sucked in by all the pretty CGI movies etc.The muppets will be coming to Ireland on August the 14th and considering the huge problems with corruption acroos every section of both the private and public sector,crime and rape statistics and ignorance on these subjects that has become frightening in last decade(as well as the fact that we are currently the worst performing country in Europe - who are bailing out Greece)there could some anticapitalist yahoo that goes on the radio.Over here in the european forum I havenet seen any evidence to support the fact that anyone in any of the chapters including the irish one have any knowledge of cult accusations(or have any asholes like VTV,Thunder and conspiracy notions(to a lesser extent at least)the shady practices of the three muppets and their minions(VTV etc) and at least in ireland very few of them at least in ireland are CT'rs.Most of them are only extremist as any young 18-25 old socialist would be.If we want to hit Peter hard we need to focus our efforts on the countries that have so far escaped his delusions and grasp.Im sorry guys but it looks like the US/Global chapter is a lost cause focus your energies on Europe and the rest of the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvcsi8TK-98&feature=player_embedded | |||||

Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | It won't ever make it into Realifeistan enough to be a danger to anyone. The latest ZDay was a huge flop in terms of media exposure and less and less people are caring about 911 conspiracies every year. | |||||

The good parts of the Venus Project ideas IMO are the more philosophical and sociological nature, they just take it too far. Not that those ideas are unique to them of course. There isn't really any good reason to think their society is doable, and I certainly can't be called biased :) | |||||

Level: 0 CS Original | neurotypical score - 74/200 I don't believe in conspiracy theories though, and never felt the need to believe in them. while there might be ( problably is ) some corelation between aspies and the likeliness to believe conspiracies, I don't think it's any valid basis to suggest that aspies are neurotic or nuts =) edit: | |||||
