We were having a calendar debate. Now, I presented some arguments to support realigning decades. So, I want to briefly highlight some of those arguments from the previous articles that I wrote which highlighted them. I want to emphasize on how Flag Dude 08 ignored what I wrote. Long story short, we have battled each other on the Infocomms going back to 2018 as documented in Banning Oatmeal. So, I don't have time right now to get into all of it. For years now, I've been red pilling people. Now, sometimes, people get mad at me. So, they attack me. They lie about me. I've written about some of these things in the past. One of the guys that criticizes me was Flag Dude 08. So, really quickly, before I get into the timeline debate that we were having that he totally ignored, let me tell you who Flag Dude is. I'll begin by showing you some of what he or she or it has written about me for example, as follows:

Two Cents Crying

"And he’s made 2 cents whining." Said Flag Dude 08 concerning me, Oatmeal Joey Arnold, at 03:35 PM, Monday, the 25th of February of 2019. And some people say things like that about me. Now, I must confess that I've came across as too aggressive in the past. I'm not perfect. I care about people. I talk about making government smaller. I talk about many different things. I try to keep an open mind. But optics are important. Like an actor, I've used my emotions in my attempts at persuading. For decades, I've been making videos and writing online. Sometimes, I may try too hard to get my points across. So, therefore, I come across as a cry baby or other things. Sometimes, Hillary Clinton comes to my house and calls me a racist. Now, if you don't know, that was a joke. Because she would probably just kill me. What I'm trying to say is that I'm human and I try my best to evolve. So, I'm changing. But I've been on the world wide web writing stuff since like 1998. Now, it is 2020, so that is 22 years of who knows what. I say that to say that I'm a work in progress. In life, you can regret things perhaps. I mostly regret when I fail to try. As long as I try my best, that is all I can do. I can talk all day about me. But more on some of those things later. Suffice to say that there is more to this Original Green Oatmeal from Oregon, born in 1985, than what meets the eye. You can't always judge an oatmeal by its water or a book by its cover haha. Now, back to the FlagDUDE08: I've included some links to where you can find him on the Internet. He might be some kind of web developer. He seems to like Star Trek. He likes casinos. I don't think I have seen his face. You can see my face. I'm not hiding. I'm not saying that he is hiding, but oh man, I think he is hiding. But I could be wrong. Of course, he can do what he wants to do. But he is kind of anonymous like Qanon Q. So, I'm not going to say that I know him well enough to know one way or another, like who he is and is not. I don't know. But I am a bit sad that he ignores what I write. I'm not saying he has to read what I write. But we were in a debate. And he didn't read my counter. That kind of defeats the purpose of a discussion. Here are some links of FD08 or FD as follows:

Insults

Flag Dude wrote to me: "Joey, get over it. There's no reason to carry this across two channels. I've given what the technical definitions of centuries and decades are, in accordance with the presently accepted calendar of this age. Whether you agree with it or not, or if you want to give it some alternate name, is your prerogative. Let me know if you'd like to have a civil discussion without the ad hominem attacks. Until then, good day." He wrote that to me on the Infowars Discord at 04:22 PM yesterday, that is Wednesday Wed, the first of January of 2020, that is 2020-01-01. He was responding to what I was writing. Like I said already, we have been going back and forth with each other for like two years or so, since like 2018. So, I'm not going to tell you everything right now. This is a rough draft outline. This is a very small article post when compared to the whole story. So, let's cut to the chase. Not Chase The Patriot. You can watch his show. You should. But let's get down to what my counter was in the debate we were having. Now, for the record, I am not saying I am right. I was just sad that what I wrote was not even acknowledged. He could have said that he disagrees with these things that I brought up. He could have said that he disagreed with the people I brought up. He did not. Instead, he pretended as if I was mocking him. I was mocking his idea. Because it was not an argument. He was not really looking at what I wrote. He can disagree with what I wrote. But he didn't even read it. I like cardinal numbers. He didn't read my articles, my posts, where I talked about a few different things. So, let's get into the debate right now:

2020 Decade Debate

Is 2020 the first year of a new decade? If not, then why not call it the 21's? Why didn't we call the Roaring 1920's the Roaring 1921's? Why didn't we call the 90's the 91's if the decade begun in 1991 instead of 1990? Is 2020 the last year of the 2011's decade or the 2010's decade? Here are some of my questions that I have in regards to the debate and everything.

2021 is The Beginning

I wrote that Alex Jones is right that the next decade begins in 2021 according to the Gregorian Calendar. But astrological time and computer time reassigns 1 BC to be (virtually speaking) 0 AD in order to align each decade, century, and millennia, to end at the end of a nine year (9) like 2019 for example. The Holocene Calendar adds 10K to each year which then turns 2019 AD into 12019. I would favor for whatever calendar that allows for alignment to 0.

Main Points

I agree that the next decade begins in 2021 according to the Gregorian Calendar. But the problem is that there are other calendars out there like I said. In other words, if there was no zero in a calendar system, then there should have been one. If 2020 is not the beginning of the new decade, then it should be, even if it is not. Like I said for the record, yes, I know, it is not a new decade according to that on particular calendar system. But, see the problem is that that calendar sucks. It messes things up. Of course, that is how things are. But that does not make it right. it just makes things how they are. So, like I said already, there are other calendar systems ad what have you as mentioned already. Let me tell you what those things are again as follows:

2020 Decade Supporters

The following supports ending decades in years ending in a nine (9) digit:

Those Four

My argument is mainly on those four things above. I'm saying that it should be that way and that it is that way according to those four things above already. The Gregorian Calendar did not always existed. But it came. Likewise, things can change to allow for decades to begin on even numbers in stead of odd numbers like the number one. According to these other systems and calendars, they already do begin on a year ending in a zero. Things are already like that. So, that king was wrong. That calendar system was named after him. But you can't not have a year zero. That's wrong. Because that combines BC and AD. See, the first BC year has to share space with the first AD year. That is silly.

1991's

@Xero Chance#5995, do you miss the 1991's decade? Why don't they call the Roaring 20's the Roaring 21's? Are you enjoying the last year of the 2011's decade?

Decade Debate Links

YouGov poll

A YouGov poll was conducted on December 2, 2019, asking 13,582 Americans whether the following decade would begin on New Year's Day 2020 or New Year's Day 2021. Results show that 64% of Americans answered the next decade will begin on January 1, 2020, and will end on December 31, 2029 (the cardinal range). 19% of the Americans surveyed replied they are unsure, while 17% answered the next decade will begin on January 1, 2021, and will end on December 31, 2030 (the ordinal range).

Conclusion

Long story short, in this unfinished rough draft article, let me warn you about watching videos about this debate. You can search on Google, Bing, AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Duck Duck Go, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and other search engine online, and you will generally see people say and write that there was no zero. But what they don't tell you is that there was also no Gregorian Calendar during 1 AD. That king was not even born in that year. It came later on. The truth is that we have had different calendars throughout time and even to this day. When I lived in Vietnam from 2012-2017, I saw that people were using solar and lunar calendars at the same time. Some people use the sun calendar. Some people use the moon calendar. Some people use the Jewish calendar. You can find a list of different calendars on Wikipedia. So, people are spreading fake news in that they don't tell their audience the whole story. They just say that, scientifically, there was no year zero. But that is not relevant. What is relevant is choosing a calendar. In other words, it is not a monopoly. But that is what they want us to think, that there was only one way of doing it. That is why I love the free market. There are different ways of doing things. You can align 1 BC with a virtual 0 AD or simply add a 0 AD to your calendar system or add ten thousand years to your calendar in order to get rid of AD and BC. We have many options here. Decades should end at the end of years ending with a nine. That is why cats have nine lives.
