    1. The hijackers were armed only with box cutters (and small knives) when they seized the planes.A HISTORY report notes that “the 19 terrorists smuggled box-cutters and knives through security” before boarding the flights.1 Critics point out that no firearm or bomb was used to overpower the crews, which some find hard to believe.

    2. Very few bodies were recovered from the crashes, fueling claims that victims were “vaporized.”In the Flight 93 crash (Shanksville), only about 8% of the victims’ remains were recovered because the plane exploded on impact.2 Conspiracists argue this level of destruction is extreme even for a high-speed crash, implying an unusually thorough disintegration of the aircraft and passengers.

    3. One hijacker’s identification (a passport) was reportedly found intact on the street amid the WTC rubble.FBI reports describe NYPD recovering Satam al Suqami’s Saudi passport from a passerby just after the North Tower fell.3 Skeptics say it seems improbable that a paper passport could survive a jet-fueled inferno and collapse without significant damage.

    4. Bin Laden’s televised message taking credit for 9/11 is considered suspect by some.“Scholars for 9/11 Truth” and others note that the man in the video does not resemble Osama bin Laden—he is of different build, wears a forbidden gold ring, and writes with his right hand even though Bin Laden was left-handed.4 This has led to claims that the tape was staged with an impersonator rather than Bin Laden himself.

    5. In the days after 9/11 dozens of Saudis—including roughly two dozen Bin Laden family members—were flown out of the country despite the no-fly ban.Official reports say nine charter flights ran from Sept. 14–24, 2001, carrying about 160 Saudis back home.5 Notably, one Sept. 20 flight departed during the general flight ban and carried 22 close Bin Laden relatives. Conspiracists cite this “special treatment” as suspicious, suggesting it helped privileged individuals avoid scrutiny.


    Sources:These claims are commonly cited by 9/11 conspiracy theorists. The references above describe the factual bases of each claim as reported by credible outlets or investigations (e.g., the hijackers’ weapons and the evacuation flights). However, official investigations and experts have generally found explanations for each point—for example, the lack of firearms on planes, the difficulty of body recovery in high-speed crashes, and the FBI’s documented handling of passports and evacuation flights—that counter the conspiracist interpretations.135

  • This piece by G. Elliott Morris is the article that prompted me to think more seriously about these issues. In it, Morris argues that modern platforms have undergone an “algorithmic turn” that transformed them from social networks into attention-extraction engines optimized for engagement rather than human connection. He lays out empirical evidence on polarization, radicalization, mental-health harms, and productivity loss; explains how recommender systems distort reality by amplifying ideological extremes; and offers practical steps for reclaiming focus and reducing dependence on algorithmic feeds.

  • Pff, I hate that. It’s the reason I’d never use Mastodon. It’s a waste of time sifting through so much trash. Also, if you display scores you’re a hypocrite, because they influence how you vote.

  • The ideal thing would be if people stopped with the Musk spam, and praising everything he does, but we don't live in an ideal world, so I'm grateful there's at least one person willing to tell the truth about Musk out there.

  • There was a CEO that increased the salary of his employees and got many women pressing charges for rape against him. It's pretty much the same. People with deep pockets paying women to press charges for defamation.

    The person is Dan Price, former CEO of Gravity Payments. In 2015 he gained national attention by slashing his personal salary and raising his employees’ minimum pay to US $70,000. (Spokesman-Review) Later he was accused by multiple women of sexual assault, including a 2021 allegation of rape of an unconscious person and other claims of unwanted physical contact.

  • Sure, keep believing whatever mainstream propaganda feeds you.

  • Again, maybe if you told me a reason instead of just saying a name like everything he says or does is wrong, I'd consider your opinion. Only siths deal in absolutes.

  • Try and use your brain for something...
