Saw this and thought it would be right up your street. Let me know your thoughts.

I tried to engage you in conversation on a topic I thought would be close to your heart and you completely ignored it. Heh. Ta.

@argyl53 I think you’re right, these things can’t be left unchallenged. People often have these half baked ideas due to their small circle of friends or family influences. I’ve personally debated lots of conspiracy theorists in my time and have a similar takeaway. My own working hypothesis is that some people have a hole they need to fill, a need to believe something.

Religion and conspiracy theories are very similar in this regard, you can’t prove a negative. Theres nothing to say that I’m not hooked up to the matrix being used by aliens as a battery cell or that the world is flat or that I was created by God to expose conspiracy theories as the pish they are and enlighten people to the true path. Other than the balance of probability and my own experiences. If any of those things are true what would actually change in my existence on this planet? Nothing. Which is precisely what makes CTs/religion so enticing to some  people.

It gives you a sense of inside knowledge, of a band of brothers fighting the true fight, that you are somehow special because you watched a YouTube video that told the truth that they are trying to hide from you. Haha..

Tl;Dr – its important to challenge nonsense when you hear it otherwise people will think it’s acceptable to speak it. It’s important to challenge yourself on your viewpoints so that you can continue to learn. Being wrong is only bad if you refuse to learn and grow.

@just basics

It wasn’t aimed at you. Just a general overview of my thoughts on CTs.

I base my views on evidence not feelings. If someone provides me with (or I find) evidence that counters my views I investigate it and I’m always happy to hold up my hands a say I’m wrong because that means I’ve learned something.

Divide and rule is the name of the game, if you a busy staring at CTs you miss the most basic things. If they can get you to fear something then they can get you to fear something else. When you are afraid you’ll give up certain rights or at the very least allow rights to be taken from other parts of our society. It’s happening right now mate but you’re busy worrying about something else.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Have fun without me in this thread.

I don’t understand how the two are linked… Unless of course you are dropping a 4 yr old article to try to discredit the guardian newspaper. Otherwise I’d need more info m the link. Thx.
