Fun fact: mj never abused children and was framed by tiny hat music producers who wanted control of the publishing rights he acquired
Fun fact: Michael Jackson did not invent the moonwalk. It has been performed before he started using it.
True. James Brown had been doing it for years before MJ. A tap dancer from the 1930s is credited as being the first to have done it in an act and then street dancers copied it for years. Back in those days it was called the ‘backslide’.
I think we call that splitting hairs.
I call that giving credit where credit is due.

Do you know what splitting hairs means?
Yep. It's when two people disagree over nothing or next to nothing.
I respectfully disagree that giving credit where credit is due is nothing or next to nothing.
Actually, not entirely.
It is generally used as a disapproving term for nitpicking or focusing on insignificant differences, often to avoid the main point or to be pedantic.
Flynn's post wasn't about Michael Jackson being the first to moonwalk. That was mentioned to specifically segue into the main point of the post-nobody actually walked on the moon.
Actually, disagreeing over nothing or next to nothing perfectly describes nitpicking.
Actually, I wasn't responding to Flynn's post. If you look closely, you'll see that I was agreeing with Dogsoldier2's response re: who first came up w/ the moonwalk.
Now ask yourself anew. Who here is splitting hairs exactly?
Jesus Christ
splitting hairs. this is my favorite rendition.

I know. I just really thought it was a fun fact. For years I thought MJ invented the moonwalk. I just found out that wasn't true last year. I'm not trying to disparage General Flynn's post at all.
I was more defending MJ than Flynn 😂
Probably a meme, but as Niel Armstrong has said on camera. We went to the moon, just not the way you think (or was presented). I still strongly suspect rocket launches are more for show, but we did go to the moon and we still have a presence on the moon. Just that whatever narrative is currently in place is a half truth.
It's all true. Get used to it. It helps to read up on the subject. The whole world was witness. The whole U.S. aerospace industry was involved. There was no other way to get there. Even Artemis II follows the pattern.
He throws shit out there just to get clicks.
And debunking Q?
