I don't need to debunk anything. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. "You" need to provide extraordinary evidence that water vapor are chemicals used for mind control.

No strawman. If you're going to claim Alex Jones-type of things, you have to be able to support it.
Dubai brings up the question: Is stuff being sprayed via chemtrails with the intent to prevent a global climate problem, or is it rather done to produce climate disasters to drive fear and thus drive the masses into the chains that have been built for us?
If you think that the Overlords would not drive disaster to promote their agenda just look at COVID.

what alex Jones type thing?
You are correct.
Any process that burns fuel creating vapor, and heating up air would create contrails. Jet planes do it more than propellor planes, but it has been around for as long as planes.
One thing I have noticed about conspiracy theorists is that they are not what you would call "sane people."
When all the alt right has is conspiracy theories, they have to start wondering why?

It's a perverse way of trying to show that somehow they are smarter and more knowledgeable than us non-crazy people. Comes from feeling inferior.
A lot of the alt rights attempts at signaling strength do come out as signs of weakness. A really strong person does not need to signal strength.

Quite true. And a "better person," as H10 frequently refers to himself, has no need to constantly proclaim it -- it's self-evident. Ditto for his other frequent claim, that he's "hyper educated," whatever the frick that means. He's obviously not or he wouldn't continue to fall for this sort of nuttery.

The way 99% of conspiracy theories work is like this:
Imagine a ball. Lable this ball "The Truth." Now, take a bunch of arrows and point them at the ball from all directions. Take a few--far fewer--arrows and make these point away from the ball. Lable all of the arrows, "Facts."
What conspiracy theorists do is select the few arrows that point away from the ball while ignoring all of the arrows that do point at the ball and declare the ball to be false and some other thing to be "The Truth." That's how conspiracy theories work, selective use of facts while studiously ignoring anything that would make those selective facts wrong.
Notice how he claims he is "hyper educated", but then says he does not need a degree, or to have gone to school for that. He also thinks he can become an expert in anything in 5 minutes.
Education takes time. Real education takes contact. Hawkeye has little to no education.
You are actually correct.
Anyone who has ever dealt with data knows there will always be outlier. Sometimes they are just wrong. Other times they are bizarre exceptions. Most of the time no one knows. A data set of a trillion data points is going to have hundreds of very weird data points. If you just tailor your theory to those weird data points, you will get a weird theory. As long as it is just a few weird data points, and you are honest about noting them, usually it is no problem to ignore them.
