Thrive Debunked does not "debunk" Thrive. Thrive Debunked-Debunked
Ugh of coourse you're going to have the denialists and disinformationists try to "debunk" Thrive. They are threatened by anything that doesn't make their world rosey colored and perfect and anything that doesn't wrap a flag around their nationalistic fervor.

But most importantly if you actually look at this article that is claiming to "debunk" Thrive, it doesn't debunk anything.
It first tries to downplay it in the typical manner of leading the sheep on by saying it is losing popularity. Only sheep give a toss if something is popular or not.
Then it says things in Thrive are nothing new. OK? Sooo you're agreeing with Thrive, if they are nothing new then Thrive does a good job in compiling them and connecting the dots.
The makers of Thrive would have no other agenda than to whistleblow on the cabal that controls our world. Ok alternatively their agenda would be to uh what, make everyone paranoid and suspicious? Ok please explain why they would need to do that.
2. Then the author of "Thrive Debunked" goes on to insult the audience of people who believe it. That's another manipulation technique that still does not debunk Thrive but attacks it's audience suggesting anyone that believes this must be naive.
3. Then it continues with saying that conspiracy theorists do not trust Thrive. So what?! Who trusts conspiracy theorists?? Conspiracy Theorists' mission is solely to think up any imaginable hidden agenda they can come up with. That's why they are "Theorizing" Some people believe everything conspiracy theorists say as truth but most of the time they are just looking to come up with any possibility they can to try and make a buck. Thrive is not a theory nor is it a way out conjecture someone pulled out of a hat. It pretty much makes a good deal of sense.
4. Once again in Faux news style the author of "Thrive Debunked" attacks the audience with ad hominem (he isn't even making an ad hominem attack on the authors, but US the Audience!) by saying, "Oh this could not make inroads into the mainstream". Sorry but WTF?? Who cares if it can't make it into the mainstream? It took centuries for the bloody mainstream to accept that the Earth was not flat.
If you continue to read this nonsensical article there is NOTHING in it that disproves anything in Thrive. It solely sets out to attack the audience in a typical elitest master controlling the sheep manner of propaganda in how propaganda has manipulated sheep-people throughout the ages. It is solely saying, "See this is not popular, this is for foolish people, there is nothing behind the curtain, don't look behind the curtain!"
Btw, Ad hominem means when in an argument the speaker attacks the character of his opponent or his oppenent personally because he is unable to counter his opponents argument so he believes the audience will likely fall to his side my discrediting his opponent but ignoring the message. (This is an age old bullying and crowd manipulation technique found in the media as they know it frequently works with the human mind.) It is also known as "Attacking the messenger." But in the case of Thrive Debunked, the author is attacking the Listener. Instead of saying, "He is a kook why would you believe him" they are saying, "You must be a kook if you believe anything he says."
