I’ve been saying this for a while. The real malicious actors are right there in the open, telling you what they’re doing. I think people gravitate toward the clearly fake conspiracies because it helps soothe their conscience - clearly their guy is Different, you don’t even have to think about it, right?
If someone falsely accuses you of anything, assume they did that first. Investigate the accuser.
Like when someone farts in a conservative household, for all you conservative readers
Conspiracy theorists are only interested in the idea of a conspiracy, and lose focus when the conspiracy is found to be true.
I have concepts of a conspiracy.
That’s were all that sweet, sweet serotonin is.
Conspiracy theorists are not about the actual theories. They are about being special. They are smart and figured out monkeys have been influencing the course of human politics since the roman empire. *They * are the only ones who “get it” that bic biro pens have finger print scanners the CIA uses to locate disobedient citizens.
As soon as it becomes confirmed, they are no longer special, because everyone “gets it”.
When they say “wake up sheeple”, they wouldn’t know what to do if you “woke up”.
That’s why the idea of wokeism is so repugnant to right-wing conspiracy theorists. The idea that they are the ones asleep but also there are many others who woke up before them is so counter to their own self-image that they will alter their perception of the world before they will allow such a thing to be true.
This is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a conspiracy observation.
The Theorying is half the fun
It’s like that Simpsons episode where Homer joins the group to find out what happened to I think a turtle that went missing. When they found out the truth, they got upset because they couldn’t theorize crazy shit anymore.
Yeah, well. That’s just, like, your theory, man.
I don’t always agree with 4chan but when I do…
One statement that always works with republicans: Every accusation is an admission.
anon was promptly banned
anon probably wouldn’t be banned for this but 4chan is astroturfed hard so this would either have a million replies roasting the shit out of it (usually really lazily with lots of lame whataboutism to deflect from anons very valid points) or all of a sudden the board would have an influx of new threads to push this into the archive
Conspiratorial thinking starts with coming up with the conclusion and then piecing together (or manufacturing) evidence to support it.
These chodes would never start with the conclusion that one of their favorite fashy daddies did something wrong.
