Topic: Why is there so many conspiracy junkies here? (Read 2652 times)
imo it's not complicated.. like-minded people come to the same place to share their ideas and confirmation bias. some of the things that people believe here are just really nuts.. like reptilian alien species abductions, and 13 european inbred bloodlines
Like nothing is what it seems at all..
People claim 9/11 was the US itself..
Ukraine is apparently killing refugees of their own..
The US is funding the ISIS secretly.
And much much more..
Why are people so stupid and refusing to see things as they are?
Not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy..
And its getting annoying to see all the dump posts by people who does not check their facts or use sites that cant proove their facts..
Well, post what you want here.. I am sure ill get a lot of comments saying that I am the dumb one who is falling for all the propaganda..
Just gonna say.. I know everything is not as it seems to be.. But sometimes its just too far.
Have fun flaming..

You must also believe that Only dead fish goes with the flow.The theories doesn't come out without pointing to any relevant proofs or substratum. People claim 9/11 was the US itself..

This generation of adult were raised by Hollywood movies. So we don't believe everything is simple and everything has a plot with good guy winning at the end.
It's called cognitive dissonance. The fatal kind - they cherry pick what they want and put together mosaics of what they want to see. Then they claim they know better because they are 'smart' enough to put together a pile of self gratifying bull.
It's same as watching a chimp smear feces over its face, then watch as it claims no one is as 'tough' as it is because they don't have the balls to shit stain their own face.
The world is not a mosaic. It's a shit storm that most fools have trouble looking at directly.
All this conspiracy bitching is a good proof that many people here are nothing more then kids behind monitors. It's really embarrassing - wonder why crypto is having a hard time being accepted into mainstream? We don't need any 'illuminati' to fuck up that plan, because these twenty something kids are doing a fine job of that on their own.

By removing contradiction truth is revealed.
Indeed, good point, cognitive dissonance tends to exist more in the minds of those who don't ask questions and speculate.
They stick to a solution that does not logically work out, that IS cognitive dissonance. Someone trying to work things out are trying to reduce that dissonance, granted they may be dead wrong but at least they're trying.
It's strange how some individuals are so opposed to free thinking and logical debate? Anyone would think they had been conditioned to oppose it
What I find tragically funny is that conspiracy junkies come up with a bunch of conspiracies, like in the list OP gave, then some revelations come out about actual conspiracies, which are totally different and unrelated to the ones junkies keep pushing, and then those conspiracy junkies go, "See?! That conspiracy was fact! That means mine could be a fact too!"
Sorry guys, just because new facts about some other theories are discovered, that doesn't make your theory any more valid.

In this forum there are many people who don't trust the government.
And they are too much reading about conspiracy theories.
Then they create their own theories.

When the government is sick, it creates a sick population.
Conspiracy junkies are just the natural outcome of an unhealthy country.
You have this backwards; government is an extension of the people, not its originator. It's sick people who create a sick government, not the other way around; governments have no power outside of that which the people give them. Conspiracy junkies are the people who don't like the sick people--potentially sick themselves but at minimum aware of it--and want others to stop being that way; to them, the sick society is indeed conspiring against them, but the explanation as to why is not evident to some so we get whacky theories born from such ignorance like illuminati or bilderburg or patriarchy (as a group, rather a system) etc.

There are conspiracy theories, and then there are conspiracy facts. I have a feeling that a lot of the latter has been put together with the former, just to stigmatise and discredit independent thinking and investigation.
Exactly!
The libor scandal comes to mind, that was a blatant conspiracy fact! Even the public court proceedings state as much.
People seemed not to give a shit that their money was diluted to pay for the whole debacle. ho hum.

A derogatory "hey, it's a conspiracy theory" has much the same effect as telling the kid "stop asking silly questions" or telling an adult "it's god's will" - it stops a line of questioning that might be undesirable.
An example of a conspiracy theory: aliens conspire with the US government (lack of any solid proof, which is the burden of the one putting forth a hypothesis)
An example of a conspiracy fact: KAL-007 was destroyed over the sea of Japan, near Niigata some 45 minutes after the official stated time of destruction. (Multiple cross-referencing proofs, such as debris found up the predominant current, speech analysis of control tower recordings, cross-referenced disagreeing witness accounts pointing to shoot-downs of multiple military aircraft)

LMAO yes Cortex7 I loved you called that out. I have friends that should never open thier mouths they are so stupid. They go on for hours about how the media is wrong, they were there all the stories are twisted then not 5 minutes later use news articles to defend a point.... Like.. do you think I actually care or believe anything you are going on about?

The US is funding the ISIS secretly.
You should read about the CIA history. Many documents are now in the open. We have been funding rebel groups (and even training) before. Osama bin laden was once 'the great freedom fighter' according to the press and funded by our government.

There is more than have enough data to agree with your points
I was relating to the OP's point on that point in particular having evidence to prove and back up the argument that it is not a conspiracy theory but a fact that's not very well known.
Not talking about specific stories.. Just pointing out that so much shit is being posted...
Haha, you quoted the stories. I can only assume those are the ones you consider as "so much shit"

Because some people have too much time on hand.
Those conspiracy theory actually provides good reading and keep people content rather than paying attention to most recent events.

I'm not sure how anyone can still hold this attitude.
Long before the snowden revelations, people who said that US agencies spy on everyone and collect data ignoring all laws have been ridiculed and called conspiracy freaks.
I do believe that the US government is behind ISIS, al qaeda, and other groups which they use for false flag operations and to justify tyrannical laws and military actions.
Using fear to manipulate the population is nothing new and have been used many times during our history.
Doesn't matter if all the allegation is true or not, it is pointless to go against the tide and not played by the rules.
Beside, Snowden might be getting false information on the level of competency of the intelligence community. If the intelligence is that good, we wouldn't have this much problem in the world now.
This is the first time I heard too much information and not able to filtered out by NSA.
You have friend working in the department or are you just guessing?
If so many people are using these terms in their email, then how is the NSA suppose to filter out when a normal citizen who would never dream of doing harm to their country verses someone who wishes for the US to collapse?
