Donald Trump is not a "conspiracy nut", he's part of the conspiracy. Misleading millions of people on to the wrong path.
Most conspiracy theorists used to be leftist people with pro-democracy attitudes.
False information, demagogues and shills changed that. Most conspiracy theorists are now...
Dunno what it is but I'm all for it.
Not exactly sure how we landed (eh..he...he) on moon landings. Personally I don't think the subject is that interesting or important compared to whatever the f*** is going on down here. Hollywood Studio or real deal or a cover-up for the species of alien...
Kaysing is not my conspiracy theory guru - Huxley is. Huxley in combination with living in a country which is entirely in the possession of one of the biggest spiders in the global web.
He probably sold a lot of books yes. I suppose your all about the money-claim can be made about anyone...
Obviously NASA had like 10 000 employees or something at the time, but it doesn't make everyone involved in the actual event itself. Similar to how Brighton might have 500-600 employees but not all of them are on the pitch every game.
Nope
Talking about the moon-landing right? (not sure that - if it happened - landing on some dusty shitehole is the biggest event in the history). Not sure more than a couple of hundred people needed to know at the time and a further couple of hundred at any given time afterwards - not...
1. Keeping secrets that may well cost your life to reveal is not unusual or particularly difficult. There are many CIA, govt and military operations that weren't revealed until many decades later (and probably a lot that were never revealed at all) despite involving thousands of people. Take the...
Well I agree with the first paragraph except I believe mainstreamers are exactly equally guilty of calling things "research" and pretending it is more worthy.
I wouldn't say they are just as mainstream - the reach is smaller, quite simply. That a lot of people earn a lot of money on this is no...
And those who spend 5-10 hours a day consuming mainstream media and mainstream culture aren't buying into someone elses theories?
And also don't be so hard on yourself.
There could be multiple purposes really.
- Spending billions on space technology is better motivated with "we're gonna explore space" than "we're gonna develop equipment to enhance control and propaganda spread".
- A nice little moon landing is a nice distraction from a useless shambolic war.
-...
Factual - dubious. "Peer reviewed" only means something if Karl Popper is your God, and he isn't mine. To be fair though, I was more referring to what most mainstreamers read, which isn't usuallly research but most often newspaper bollocks.
Mainstreamers likes to have their minds manipulated...
That is possible, don't think we're very good at that in that case.
If we had any success in that, we wouldn't live in a permanent global oligarchy where 0.001% own like half of the planet and have done so sometimes for centuries.
Still much preferable to getting your mind manipulated, which is...
I can see how people find it interesting. Usually strongly disagree with the theories on why we "need conspiracy theories" though.
In a similar manner, I find the psychology behind why mos people cognitively need to stick with mainstream thinking more interesting than mainstream thinking...
Funny thing is that I find the sources giving the answers to mainstreamers (the few times they don't shape their world around headlines) highly biased and very questionable.
Funny, when I say "go read this yourself" I get the response "lololol conspiracy theorists always telling you to 'do your own research'!" and when I won't read the shit you wash your brains with it is "typical conspiracy theorists not to go and listen to this piece of "information").
No one...
Yup, they would.
And nah I'm good, I've heard and seen enough of the "all conspiracy theorists are crazy and all who believe everything that govts and the likes claim are perfectly sane" kind of stuff.
Nope, not a weak argument. The "x hundred or x thousand people can't keep a secret" is a bad one, however. There's quite a number of occasions where thousands of people must have been aware of something, yet it took very long time for it to be revealed to the public. And there's surely instances...
If you whistleblow on such a thing you first get ignored by mainstream media (or in best case scenario gets portrayed as insane) and you're also playing with death. Pretty easy to make people shut up when they know what they're dealing with.
