Reply to comment by BigVikingBeard in TIL a German scientist named Alfred Wegener was ridiculed in 1912 for advancing the idea that the continents were adrift. Ridiculed as having “wandering pole plague.” or “Germanic pseudo­-science” and accused Wegener of toying with the evidence to spin himself into “a state of auto-intoxication." by Hot----------Dog

A website full of conspiracy nonsense and science denial calls into question the veracity of anything posted on it. I admittedly don't know enough of the specific history recounted to debunk any particular claim in the article but still.

And it wasn't a "magic" bullet when bullets can and do deflect at odd angles upon impacting bone. Bone is very dense and expecting straight line trajectories through a body as though it's a video game is foolish.

If you think history cannot be interpreted with biases, I invite you to look at the white european's "history" of African civilizations while they were busy exploiting the fuck out of the continent.(and after)

Yeaaah, not getting in to debating rigorously debunked conspiracy nonsense with you.
