            The Rwanda genocide was the Hutu "people" genociding the Tutsi "people".

            I say "people", because both of those demographics are almost entirely artificial and were created by the ruling class in the late 19th century based mostly on the criterium of "Do you own cattle?", and then exploited and the split enlarged first by german colonizers and then by the belgians. The belgians then made it official by printing it on their mandatory ID cards.

            And of course, both the Germans and the Belgians preferred the wealthy, cattle-owning tutsi minority over the poorer hutu majority. And when the white colonizers left, the hutu's decided to grab some power back... with genocide.

              The satistical chances of every single atom in your body just randomly dispersing and you vanishing is not 0. Just a very, very small percentage.

              The statistical chances of only a spot on your body doing that is near infinitely more likely than the first scenario tho.

              The statistical chance using our current models and understanding.

              We have never observed such a large amount of atoms dispersing through quantum effects simultaneously. There may be some process we are unaware of preventing this.

              Which is to say, there is a non-zero chance the chance of this scenario is exactly zero.

                    I indeed have read somewhere a long time ago (i think back in Usenet days) the conspiracy theory that JFK INDEED was not killed but this whole thing was just a stunt to push his political agenda further and let him retire in peace (you know, like Elvis did).

                      Welcome to mental illness. Many people are perfectly functional, yet still deeply sick.

                      I had an uncle like this. He definitely held it together okay-ish (though that's up for debate) for most of his life. But the conspiracy bullshit was a consist sign that he was not well.

                      And then when his wife passed, he also lost his ability to be functional, so the sickness took over entirely, eventually even took over his body. Nobody could help, not even his children.

                        Just another reminder that there is no war but class war. The rich and powerful will try to split us by whatever arbitrary division they can, but the differences we have between each other are nothing compared to the differences between all of us and the ultra rich.

                          cant dx schizophrenia without more info. all we can identify is a few reported symptoms from a third party. the secret messages are called Loose Associations and that with the persistence of belief in the face of evidence to the contrary indicates a delusional belief, but those can occur in several psychotic disorders. for schizophrenia we'd at least need to confirm two out of three of bizarre motor activity, disorganized speech, and preferably some negative (withdrawing) symptoms like flat affect, avolition, etc

                              it's weird but back when that huge Earthquake in Syria happened there were a lotta people with no relation to Syria at all adamant that it was a hoax because of stupid things like not seeing the ground shake (in an era where image stabilisation technology is the norm lol) I can't even begin to understand conspiracy theorists but people like Anon's granddad are pretty common

                                I had an uncle just like this. He spent all his time listening to conservative AM radio, which he proudly called "hate radio". He died of who knows what alone in his trailer in Florida and wasn't discovered for two months because nobody gave a shit about him. My other uncle tried to rehab the trailer (which would have maybe been worth five grand) but gave up because the smell was too horrifying. My dad inherited a small bag of his belongings and the stench on those things was unimaginable.

                                        not necessarily schizophrenia, but likely another psychotic disorder. possibly delusional disorder if no other symptoms are met. schizophrenia has several criteria that must be met beyond delusions

                                        On one hand, schizophrenia is much more common than delusional disorder, on the other hand, schizophrenia is much less likely to go completely undiagnosed for so long. Either way, grandpa will have to see a proper Hutu psychiatrist to know for sure.
