See here: [http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/snopes-debunking-of-peoples-cube-needs-more-debunking-t17417.html](http://thepeoplescube.com/peoples-blog/snopes-debunking-of-peoples-cube-needs-more-debunking-t17417.html) If you don’t want to waste your time, it’s a really-extreme-alt-right source claiming that Snopes is a liberal mouthpiece and that some trivial detail of some story they did wasn’t right because they (snopes) didn’t understand the “wonder” that is the People’s Cube web site.

Or something like that. The actual site is all but unintelligible; it rivals the TimeCube for clarity and detail.

If I knew I’d have said. But with nothing more than a theme and a 5-year timespan to go on I have no idea how to search for candidates.

We’re a long way short of that world today. Although I agree we’re pointed in a dangerous direction and just beginning to pick up speed.

Dangerous direction indeed.

Do you guys agree with my pick or can you find an earlier source?
