If you don't believe in at least some conspiracies there's something wrong with you

Conspiracy theorist is a derogatory name made up by the CIA to shame free thinkers into believing the lies they spew. I am proud to be a conspiracy theorist!

Sure, there's been loads of conspiracies which are real and true. They're also usually pretty obvious.

The issue is that the classic conspiracy theorist conceives of impossible conspiracies with no particular purpose or even end point.

Like Alex Jones' worldview is that most political behaviour on the planet is driven by some sort of shadowy cabal of globalists who do bad things to some vaguely determine hostile end point.

I am happily to believe conspiracies that are -true- but the Alex Jones and his fans do not differentiate between Epstein and Sandy Hook. And if Epstein was a Republican, Jones would be talking about how he was set up.

To be fair Epstein was pretty common knowledge amongst certain circles. I’m not even talking about the people involved. Cory Feldman has been talking about stuff of Epstein’s nature for a very long time. Almost 30 years. You are correct people did think he was crazy and it didn’t help that he does suffer from mental illness but still.
The biggest problem is that we all know the government doesn’t truly have our best interests at heart but we’re afraid to truly believe how far they’d go. This in light of not remembering that even North American governments have done some pretty horrific things to people of colour. That’s why I never trust what the government has to say about most things and approach friends and family who work in the area in question. If I don’t have a friend or family I look up experts without any government affiliation but are also trusted by their peers.

[quote]Last month Cornell University professor Dave Callum tweeted, “I am a ‘conspiracy theorist’. I believe men and women of wealth and power conspire. If you don’t think so, then you are what is called ‘an idiot’. If you believe stuff but fear the label, you are what is called ‘a coward’.” [/quote]

Yeah, its kinda odd that all of a sudden people put their faith in big pharma to do the right thing in regards to our health. and Bill Gates is a billionaire expert on medicine and global weather patterns. a whole lotta sheep are buying what their masters are selling. folks convinced that they must ride around in their car alone with a mask on to protect themselves from a virus. these same folks call the rest of us conspiracy theorists. LOL

There is more to conspiracy theories than the conspiracy. It is a whole collection of mental issues such as low critical thinking skills, paranoia, self importance, and disordered pattern recognition.

Snowden didn't prove the government spies on us. He verified they collect anonymous metadata and filter for very specific identifiers and cautions. (And we already knew this.)

Alex Jones has spread so much rich and potent fertilizer around this country that it's simply within the law of averages that one thing is going to turn out to be true. However, Jones must have made is big statements prior to 2006, which is when an underage prostitution charge was filed against Epstein.

A cover-up is not a conspiracy necessarily. A conspiracy is a plan by multiple parties to secretly cause harm or illegal acts. Both happen, but in the case of the former the truth is this: the public does not have a de factor right to know anything they want at any time they want via any source they want.

Absolutely. I’m inclined to believe that most conspiracies are false, but there are definitely some that are true. Conspiracy theorists don’t often go about proving their theories very well though.

There is nothing wrong with questioning the authorities narrative, look at the laws they purpose. If it's not marx, its woke, basically elite think they are most important is what the last century teaches U.S. .

alex jones literally found the bohemian grove and everybody wants to really act like conspiracies aren't real

The term 'conspiracy theory' is a great example of how easy it easy to get a large segment of society to shut down ideas by mocking them, with zero thought -- the mad howling crowd. A 'conspiracy' means 2 or more people set out to do something. And a conspiracy to commit a crime is itself a crime, with people convicted of it all the time. And we have an everyday word 'theory'. But put those two words together -- conspiracy theory -- and a large segment of society can have their brains turned off instantly, and openly mock people while having ZERO idea of any elements of the issue at hand whatsoever.

A: I heard blah blah blah.
B: That is a conspiracy theory.
A: Oh, it's wrong then. Let me get back to my tv and video games.

This is a great object lesson for how easy it is to control people by controlling language. Keep an eye on language. Despots always attack the use of language and warp it to control people. (And bad people all around us warp language to use as weapons instead of using evidence and logic.)

This is actually why people like Alex Jones are so dangerous. He muddies the water with his fake conspiracy theories.

fucking thank you

Do you know the meaning of the word, "conspiracy"?

The main thing not to question is global capitalism without global democracy. No team playing against us, just God and the fact we're licked.

Priests definitely touch young boys and Hitler was evil. That's fact and not a conspiracy theory

Unless the conspiracy theories are plants to distract those looking for the real answers from ever finding them 🤯
