this is rag Reynolds he's a Scottish
YouTuber who's convinced that the entire
country of Australia doesn't really
exist there's no proof that exists it's
a fantasy it's no more real than Narnia
and while he'd eventually get into
arguments with other large Australian
creators post podcasts in which he'd
tell Australians that they weren't real
and even attempt to visit the
non-existing country himself his
conspiracy theory began to develop on
the 22nd of April 2014 when it started
to express his hatred for the country if
you could destroy one country in the
world which would it be this is without
a doubt the easiest question to ever
answer because the answer is Australia
that country is a waste of space that
country is the worst place on Earth
Australia
that clip comes from one of the earliest
videos posted to rag Reynolds Channel
and it highlights it in the beginning
although he clearly hated Australia he
still considered it a real place yet
this hatred wasn't only confined to his
YouTube channel he'd post tweets such as
as a public service I will personally
burn Australia to the ground let's send
Australia to space as well as one final
Banger reading if Australia wins
Eurovision I will drown one puppy and
burn one baby for every point they win
by Red Reynolds didn't specify exactly
where this hatred had come from although
as time progressed his dislike for the
country only continued to grow just over
two years after initially stating that
he'd like to burn Australia to the
ground he'd upload a new video Simply
titled it down with Australia in which
he began to outline why he hated the
country so much with his first point
being that we simply have an annoying
accent Australians have the second most
irritating accents on Earth beaten only
by South Africans every time I hear a
pathetic Australian say my I just want
to punch them and they're good for
nothing liver since it's common
knowledge that all Australians are
alcoholics punched an Australian's lever
would most likely be fatal before he
displayed a map showing that Australians
have an average IQ of 60 being the
lowest out of any country in the entire
world speaking of how dumb Australians
are the image on screen now is an IQ map
of the world as you can see Australia
has the lowest average IQ out of every
single country on the planet yet while
these points showed that rag Reynolds
still believed in Australia's existence
it wasn't going to stay like this for
much longer and the eight months after
uploading down with Australia Ray
Reynolds hatred for the country would
transform into the belief that Australia
didn't exist at all I was certainly
pretty mad over the existence of
Australia and then without warning I
came across some guy on Twitter claiming
that Australia does not exist this was a
theory I had never even considered prior
to that moment I just found out that
Australia isn't actually a real place
can't believe I was mad about that place
for so long it all makes sense though I
rag Reynolds am an Australia denial now
rag Reynolds disbelief in Australia
wasn't exactly an original idea he even
claimed in the previous clip that his
theory had been inspired by another user
on Twitter in fact The Conspiracy Theory
dates all the way back to November of
2006 when the following post was made to
the Flat Earth forums most of you have
probably been brought up believing in
The Imaginary Land called Australia I
bet many of you even learned about it in
school well the fact is that Australia
doesn't really exist everything you've
ever heard about it was made up and any
pictures of it you have seen were faked
by the government I'm sure you've even
talked to people on the internet who
claim to be from Australia they are
really secret government agents who are
surfing the internet to enforce these
false beliefs we're not exactly sure why
the government made up an imaginary
continent or why it is trying to
convince the world that this continent
is real but we can tell you that we know
for a fact that Australia doesn't really
exist please join us in our quest to
convince the world of the truth however
as you might be able to gather from this
reply there wasn't exactly all that much
evidence for the theory there was one
individual who posted a world map with
and without Australia in the bottom
right hand corner and while this didn't
exactly constitute evidence the lack of
proof of the theory hasn't stopped a
select group of people from believing it
to be true in April of 2018 more than
200 individuals gathered in the UK city
of Birmingham to discuss whether or not
Australia was real and while it's easy
to laugh and Scorn from a distance one
of the attendees actually had a pretty
reasonable argument for why the theory
might be true Australia is not real it's
a hoax made for us to believe that
Britain moved over their criminals to
some place in reality all these
criminals were loaded off the ships into
the waters drowning before they could
see land ever again it's a cover-up for
one of the greatest mass murders in
history made by one of the most
prominent Empires now to give credit
where credit is due this post
establishes a pretty solid motive for
why someone might have wanted to fake
the country however as the post
continued it only got wackier and The
credibility began to crumble your
Australian friends they're all actors
and computer-generated personas part of
the plot to trick the world if you think
you've ever been to Australia you're
terribly wrong the plane Pilots are all
in on this and having all actuality only
flow near to islands close nearby or in
some cases parts of South America where
they have cleared space and hired actors
to act out as real Australians however
this is the point at which rag Reynolds
begins to stand out as unique as he
actually has his own theory for why
Australia has been faked the theory goes
like this the founder of New Zealand
hated how his people sounded when they
spoke it was necessary to make their
country known as anything other than the
worst received country known to man so
he got his counsel together and they put
together a plan they were going to take
all of the worst parts of their culture
make it 50 times worse and grain it into
the minds of 100 citizens with the
lowest IQs and then put those people
into an abandoned city together with
cameras on them 24 7. New Zealand had
essentially set out to create a full
reality show in order to fill the world
into thinking that there was a place
worse than their Homeland rag Runners
would then go on to add that Australia's
unique Wildlife such as kangaroos had
been roboticized by New Zealand in order
to reinforce the LIE they decided it
might be a good idea to start
introducing strange new animals so they
created the robotic creature that we
know today as a kangaroo with his
evidence for this claim being a
debate.org whole a poll shows that
people are beginning to actually wake up
and realize the truth that there's no
Australia 37 think yes but 63 say no a
compelling argument is made here by a
user going by the name of massive dump
rag Reynolds conspiracy theory pitch
would receive a dislike ratio of over 94
however the comments were surprisingly
supportive being in Australian myself I
completely agree with this Theory I'm
totally not a sacred robot living on
planet Ugly boogly being from Australia
I'm shocked that such a genius found out
our secret we are all not real thank you
for enlightening me on the heinous truth
about Australia I no longer think that
it exists thank you rag Reynolds however
while these Australians had successfully
been convinced that they didn't actually
exist others needed a little more
persuading which led to a rag Reynolds
podcast episode on which he would invite
three different Australians to argue
about whether or not they existed I'm
joined by self-proclaimed Australians as
they're gonna attempt to explain to me
just why they think Australia is a real
place while the people on the podcast
made some pretty reasonable points rag
Reynolds couldn't be convinced and if
anything judging by these videos it
would only further strengthen his belief
that Australia wasn't real however it
would be with these videos that The
Hornet's Nest was stirred up as shortly
after posting them other larger
YouTubers began to make videos on the
stupidity of rag Reynolds Theory the
third largest YouTuber in Australia
laser beam would upload a video titled
that turns out Australia is fake no
one's given literally any evidence
nothing they've just yelled at me and
said it's fake prompting a response
titled a dear laser beam you are
delusional he thinks he is from a place
that he is not really from he has
clearly just drugged up he does not seem
to understand logic reason do ignores
facts which was followed by rag Reynolds
getting into a full-blown YouTube war
with one of Australia's most patriotic
creators Isaac Butterfield leading both
of them to argue about the theory on
Isaac's podcast
maybe I've been coming at you from the
wrong orientation
yeah I could fix that it seemed as
though rag Reynolds was never going to
change his mind on Australia's existence
however shortly after beefing with those
larger creators the first sign of him
coming back to reality appeared
specifically when he'd upload a video
Simply titled I was wrong and now it's
all starting to make a bit more sense
and now I don't know what to think my
main piece of evidence my own experience
is not actual evidence it's not what I
thought it was all I have left is
speculation and theories and when
looking at the comments on the video One
highlighted the most effective way for
rag Reynolds to confirm whether or not
his suspicions were true why not book a
ticket to Australia to see it for real
and this is exactly what he would do
although apparently this would only
reinforce to rag Reynolds that the
country was in fact fake he'd explain
all of this in a video titled I went to
Australia it isn't real in which it
explained that during his trip he had
seen some things leading him to believe
that it was a real place although
ultimately he believed that he had been
drugged by the New Zealand government
and the whole thing was simply a
hallucination when people go to
Australia they're actually Landing in
New Zealand they are drugged they
imagine all the experiences there
naturally his audience began to call him
out by stating that he never even went
there in the first place resulting in
rag Reynolds taking a polygraph test to
confirm that he had in fact been to
Australia I am a truth talker
everything I see in my videos is the
truth and this polygraph test has just
confirmed that however by this point it
seemed as though the criticism was
getting all too much for him in
September of 2020 rag Reynolds would
upload a video titled I'm sorry
Australia in which he'd explained that
he was struggling to deal with the
negativity but here I get fault the
abuse I get in my comment section on
every single video people disliking my
videos my Instagram DMS there's people
being horrible to me I don't know where
it ends it just goes on and it goes on
and it never it never seems to stop and
that maybe after everything he was in
the wrong and it was time to apologize
so maybe you people are right it's time
for me to issue the first apology of my
entire life this apology would come in
one final video titled Australia does
exist during which after all of this
time Rogue Reynolds would finally admit
that Australia was a real place
Australia Ezreal of course it's a real
place you can see pictures of it from
satellites in space they have lovely
wildlife and I would like to apologize
to all of Australians out there
Australians Australia I am sorry only
rag Reynolds was very careful about the
date on which this video was uploaded
April 1st also known as April Fool's Day
April fools you're all drugged up and
brainwashed and to this day rag Reynolds
is still convinced that Australia isn't
real
