Friendly reminder that:

The concept of starseeds promotes ableism by minimizing or denying ADHD and autism.

The ancient astronaut hypothesis promotes spiritual colonialism and destruction of other cultures by twisting other people's mythologies and sacred texts to fit their narratives.

The reptilian alien mythology is based on conspiracy theories historically used to justify oppressing and murdering real people. Loosh/blood/adrenochrome harvesting is just repackaged blood libel.

New Age mythology is chock full of repackaged right wing conspiracy theories, the same kind pushed by QAnon.

It's also full of repackaged racist pseudoscience about genetic superiority/inferiority and the function of evolution.

Ascension to 5D was supposed to have happened back in 2012, and the prediction failed.

New Agers are recycling their predictions over and over to catch new waves of people who don't know the movement's history.

Belief in Atlantis is strongly motivated by white supremacy.

for the love of fuck, one of the most agonizing parts of the "ancient astronauts" or "ancient civilizations" theories is the idea that, since you see pyramids all around the world, there must've been ONE CIVILIZATION building EVERY PYRAMID

LIKE

NO

PYRAMIDS AREN'T HARD TO COME UP WITH

THEY'RE GIANT BRICK TRIANGLES, THEY'RE REALLY STRUCTURALLY SOUND AND STAY AROUND FOR A LONG TIME, OF COURSE TONS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE WOULD COME UP WITH THEM

#I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD #fucking #mom turned on that ''ancient apocalypse'' show and we've been making fun of the pseudoarchaeology #but good fucking stars it's agitating sometimes #ancient astronauts #pseudoarchaeology

on thor (and i suppose this can be extended to the marvel versions of human gods in general - Hercules and Zeus rather than Galactus and Tribunal), do you prefer the seemingly original idea that they were aliens so advanced and involved with humans that they were known as gods, or as it pops up now and then the idea that they are literal divine upper case g Gods, and that they all exist? for me, both ideas have merit but taken together are kinda at odds sometimes

I'm not such a fan of the aliens paradigm, because it's pretty directly inspired by the whole Ancient Astronauts thing, and while I know that Jack Kirby got a lot of inspiration out of that and thus we got the New Gods and the Eternals and the like, Von Däniken's work is pretty inextricably racist and should be consigned to the dustbin of history.

I much prefer the idea that Kieron Gillen ran with in his Journey into Mystery run in which the gods are gods, but they are gods that humanity creates through story-telling and its connection to imagination and thus faith. (Which isn't exactly original to Gillen, it's got a legacy that stretches back to Terry Pratchett and ultimately back to Xenophanes of Colophon.)

That being said, I'm very excited to see what Al Ewing has cooked up, and I'm especially curious to see him and Jonathan Hickman working in such similar territory - the comic equivalent of dueling violins by two writers who share the admirable quality of always wanting to top their previous accomplishments.

Nope: Ancient Aliens (Theory)

So Jean Jacket being an angel is a popular theory that I can definitely see because it reminded me of the Wheels mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel and the biblical description of the end days in Revelation.

A popular theory, but while I can subscribe to the idea that Jean Jacket is an alien, I think it was brought to Earth by aliens. When you really get down to how JJ has strict biological demands to be met, it would seem unlikely that it could travel through space on its own. But if JJ was brought here, what race of aliens would do such a thing?

Remember how Angel talks about Ancient Aliens on a tangent? While it would seem to be a little joke, what if he was right if roughly 97.7% that is? Yes, an ancient race of extraterrestrials did arrive on Earth and advance humanity, but what if they were approximately the same as humans?

The recurring theme of the movie is the lengths people would go to achieve spectacle even when it puts their health and lives at risk like with that TMZ guy. While the aliens I am proposing are advanced, one of their main drives is seeking entertainment and achieving spectacle. Would be hilarious if it turns out the aliens are more or less film directors.

Thus, JJ was designed as a means of achieving spectacle by the aliens and they just sat back and watched their creation eat humans for the lulz. Yeah, they would not be benevolent in that scenario. They would also instill the desire to capture such a spectacle in mankind leading to technological advances, especially when it came to cameras and video recording.

That would mean that there are legitimate UFOs (or UAPs) out there while JJ is merely copying the appearance of one but instead of using a tractor beam it instead creates whirlwinds to gather prey.

But of course, despite believing themselves superior to mankind, they screw up when JJ becomes too uncontrollable and they are forced to cut their losses leaving a homicidal, shapeshifting anomaly on the Earth. Overall, the aliens were also using JJ as a living prop in much the same way Jupe was.

Looks like it's time to talk about starseeds and the New Age movement again.

Since I'm seeing more starseed content being posted, I'm gonna make another post on why the whole starseed thing and the surrounding New Age belief system are... not good.

So for those who don't know, New Age mythology is essentially a hodgepodge of cherrypicked and distorted myths from various cultures, racist pseudohistory, and far right conspiracy theories. To put it very briefly, starseeds are supposedly here to help Earth resist the reptilians, a race of politics-manipulating, war-starting, media-controlling blood-drinking aliens. For those who don't recognize the tropes here, these are basically all antisemitic canards. The reptilian alien myth as most know it today comes from David Icke, who ultimately cribbed a bunch of his material from The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, a Russian hoax created to justify violence against Jews. He was also influenced by the work of people like Fritz Springmeier, a hateful crank who based much of his work on other hateful cranks.

(David Icke, by the way, also claims that transgender is an evil reptilian conspiracy. You'll never find just one form of bigotry with these people.)

There are supposedly numerous alien races out there, and one of the most prominent among them are the Pleiadians, AKA Nordics. While modern depictions of the Pleiadians give them more variety in skintone, there's no denying that older Pleiadian mythology basically pictured them as Aryans In Space, even associating them with the swastika.

You see what's going on here? "Good" swastika-loving Aryan aliens versus "evil" Jewish aliens? Sound familiar?

Racism isn't just a tangential part of the starseed myth, either. It lies at its very core. It's inextricably tied in with the ancient astronaut hypothesis, which has a history of racist motivation behind it. The TL;DR is that a bunch of white people couldn't believe that non-white people had built a bunch of things they couldn't figure out how to build themselves (EG, the Great Pyramids), so they proposed that the real builders were anyone from Atlanteans to aliens. (Atlantis, by the way, never existed; it was a literary device created by Plato.)

One supposed purpose of starseeds is to help the world "wake up to the truth," which basically just means "convert people to New Age spirituality." New Age believes that world peace is contingent on a majority of the world being converted to New Age belief, and that resistance against their belief system is ultimately the work of the aforementioned reptilian aliens.

To put it another way, New Agers think they understand other cultures' spiritual traditions better than the actual members of said cultures, and think that anyone who disagrees with them is being manipulated by the conspiracy, or is an agent of the conspiracy. This includes Indigenous cultures which are already endangered from white Christian colonialism.

Essentially, endangered cultures cannot speak up for themselves and resist New Agers' efforts at cultural assimilation without being labeled a problem and an enemy. It's basically white Christian colonialism repackaged as "spiritual, not religious."

Again - if you heard from these people that some ancient text or myth describes extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet for one reason or another, you heard misinformation. They twist and misrepresent literally every myth and text they get their hands on. For example, you may have heard that the vimanas from Hindu traditions were actually alien spacecraft. They were no such thing. Or maybe you heard that the Book of Enoch describes aliens performing genetic experimentation on humans. It literally does not. At best, all of the stories they cite just kind of sound like aliens if you ignore most of their content and pay no attention to their cultural contexts.

The starseed movement preys on alienated people, especially autistic people and people with ADHD. You can look up nearly any list of signs that you're supposedly a starseed, and many of them will align perfectly with characteristics associated with autism and/or ADHD, or that people with these conditions commonly report. Some people within the movement even go so far as to claim that ADHD and autism don't even exist, but were actually made up by the conspiracy as a cover to suppress and control starseeds, which is some yikes-as-hell ableism.

So basically, people are being told that if they have these certain characteristics or symptoms, that means it's their job to spread New Age spirituality to defeat the conspiracy and help others ascend to the fifth density.

And what's the fifth density, you might ask? It's supposedly humanity's next evolutionary level, because New Age is also based on biological misconceptions. Supposedly once everyone's DNA "upgrades," they'll essentially morph into an aetheric form. Supposedly, this is preceded by a number of "ascension symptoms," including depression, headache, gastrointestinal issues, and any number of other symptoms that could indicate almost anything, including stress.

What many of these people don't realize is, this prediction has already failed. Back in the 2000s and 2010s, experiencing "ascension symptoms" was supposed to precede ascension to 5D beginning December 21, 2012. One lady, Denise Le Fay, was convinced that the hair loss she was experiencing in 2008 was an ascension symptom. As we can see by looking her up, she's very much still with us on the 3D plane these days, repeating the same tired old scripts New Agers recycle endlessly.

By the way, everything you near New Agers saying today about old systems being dismantled, dark forces being arrested or kicked off the planet, and new economic systems on the horizon? They've been recycling these scripts for years now. Take a look at this page written back in 2012. You got stuff about the complete dismantling of an enormous network of sinister forces," "the arrest and removal of a world-wide cabal," and a "new economic system."

("Cabal," by the way, is a dogwhistle term for "Jews.")

Furthermore, people in this movement are often encouraged to try and access past life memories through dreams or hypnosis, which makes the whole thing feel even more real to them. But the thing is, you can have incredibly vivid experiences about literally anything you put your mind to - the people in the reality shifting having vivid experiences of living another life in the Harry Potter universe are a great example of this. Just because you have vivid experiences, doesn't mean they have any bearing on anything happening in this reality.

So yeah, the starseed movement and the larger New Age movement are both extremely harmful. They promote racist pseudohistory, medically-irresponsible pseudoscience, conspiracy theories that target numerous marginalized groups, and functionally target aliened people with ADHD and autism to convince them that spreading its beliefs is their job.
