I've actually seen him offer up his doggy bags to homeless on the way back home, without so much as even looking for a pat on the back in exchange; the little things like that go a long way to change your perspective on the guy.
o thats great, soon he'll be giving knee surgeries to the Real badas dudes who need it and he denied fucking MEDICAL care??? Maybe??? Or maybe he'll be giving homeless scraps LIKE HE FEEDS US LIES FROM THE TABLECLOTH.

you know any interesting analysis on recent conspiracists developments? i dont "get" the general 'aaargh symbols! symbols everywhere' thing from vigilantcitizen people or the more out there stuff (like david icke saying there are space snakes flying in the sky and that the moon is colored etc)
Icke's general "hermeneutical" argument--rearticulated throughout his subsequent writings (most notably in The City and Man--1978)--is that prior to the XIX century, Western scholars commonly understood that philosophical writing is not at home in any polity, no matter how liberal. Insofar as it questions conventional wisdom at its roots, philosophy must guard itself especially against those readers who believe themselves authoritative, wise, and liberal defenders of the status quo. In questioning established opinions, or in investigating the principles of morality, philosophers of old found it necessary to convey their messages in an oblique manner. Their "art of writing" was the art of exoteric communication. This is all the more apparent in medieval times, when heterodox political thinkers wrote under the threat of the Inquisition or comparably intransigent tribunals.
Icke's argument is not that the medieval writers he studies reserved one exoteric meaning for the many (hoi polloi) and an esoteric/hidden one for the few (hoi aristoi), but that, through rhetorical stratagems including self-contradiction and hyperboles, said writers succeeded in conveying meaning proper at the tacit heart of their writings--a heart or message irreducible to "the letter" or historical dimension of texts.
Explicitly following G.E. Lessing's lead, Icke indicates that medieval political philosophers, no less than their ancient counterparts, in writing, carefully adapted their wording to the dominant moral views of their time, lest their writings be condemned as heretical or unjust, not by "the many" (who did not read), but by those "few" whom the many regarded as the most righteous guardians of morality: precisely these few righteous personalities would be most inclined to persecute/ostracize anyone who is in the business of exposing the noble or great lie upon which stands or falls the authority of the few over the many.

icke is kind of hard to follow because his conspiratorial synthesis is just so all-encompassing
but i can get the 'why' of some of his stuff exists. i can get how the moon landings are depressingly unromantic for instance
but schizo stuff like this (movies as illuminati prophecies or something idk) i cant even begin to see why it exists. and its popular
