Why are stupid people so susceptible to conspiracy theories ?

@hippyjoe1955 I knew there'd be one clown on this thread who would mention AGW , and it's no surprise that it turned out to be you.

@RodionRomanovitch Yes your clown is someone else's wise man. The AGW theory is likely the biggest scam in human history. Its a shame silly people like you fell for it. But then you have or would have fallen for all manner of scams because they are dressed in 'scientific lingo' which you don't understand so you assume are correct because they are dressed in 'scientific lingo'. As someone else long ago pointed out the best way to scam a people is to 'educate' them enough so they think they know something. AGW is just such a scam. It is only one of many but silly 'educated' people will never catch on because they think they are too smart and too educated to be scammed. They are not. Kinda sad but really really funny to watch.

@hippyjoe1955Ok Joe , let's just assume you're right and everyone else is wrong , then maybe you could tell me who is behind this great scam , and what is the purpose of it ?

@SW-User I often wonder whether they're suffering from brain damage.

@RodionRomanovitch Very possible.

@twiggy I read this yesterday. I guess the idea of checks and balances is officially dead. It's now obvious that the right will do or say anything to protect Trump.

@twiggy Just like accepting everything is told to you than thinking for yourself.

@MrBrownstone ...You think you're "special", "edgy", maybe even "woke", but little do you realize you're just following someone else's just narrative like everyone else. Everyone is affected by biases and subtle brainwashing, all humans are. You're not any different...you're brainwashed to think you are though. At least some of us admit our weaknesses, we're only human after all. Delicate, easily-manipulated humans.

@RodionRomanovitch yeh to manipulate and control masses as it had done in the past. A little bit of history repeats itself

@Gangstress Can't fool you eh ?

@RodionRomanovitch not really. There's stupidity and there's facts. Those who seek will find.

The world's a stage. They said.

[@Exactly.

@Groofydorkgerdo I know ..... I don't believe them.

@hlpflwthat I get the impression it's like that on the Internet. What have people got against the truth?

@jackjjackson Back to the naughty step for you jack.

@Butterflykisses24 It's called having an agenda and denying reality.

@puck61 0ne year ......20 indictments.

@RodionRomanovitch You can indict a ham sandwich!

@puck61 They don't all plead guilty though.

@bijouxbroussard That's not a conspiracy theory, that's just an ugly lie. If people died in such a situation then they died and there is no getting away from it. The reason [i]why[/i] it happened is another matter entirely.

@NankerPhelge Understood. But the people who believe it are so invested in the theory that gun control advocates within the government “staged” the massacre of little children. To the point that believers have accused the parents of the dead children of being [b]liars[/b], to their faces. 😞

@bijouxbroussard One of my pet hates is false accusation anyway, but lying is another of my pet hates, so that makes falsely accusing people of lying worse than ever. And it's even worse still when they do it after 1970. They are the ones who should be massacred, not innocent children.

@SW-User I know. 😉

@sighmeupforthat Which is your favourite one ?

@bijouxbroussard Doesn't make them stupid, necessarily though, my mother in law was quite intelligent, but she as you suggested, did not seek out all alternatives, that could be lazy thinking, but she certianly was not stupid.

Jackassery suits you. @Unlearn

@chrisCA I thought you would say something like that...

@jackjjackson okay...

[b]Most[/b] are bollocks would be more accurate.
