Jaid0gz (OP) User ID: 2630300 Australia 10/20/2012 08:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's more the fact they try to prove you stupid because they believe the source with more "background/substance". I'm thinking of a one liner in particular that would have them thinking and enter contemplative thought (theory) that might have them view things differently. It's not that I'm not proud to believe in conspiracy, it's just that because the MSM likes to pick some of the crazier "fringe" conspiracy theories and elude facts when talking about the larger scaled ones, it makes the sheep believe they are the ones who are right. I know the mechanisms which make people more group minded, and why they do this/why people believe conspiracy 'theorists' are nuts and how the entire population of earth has been psychologically brainwashed to a certain extent... But being able to sit down and discuss someone who calls you a conspiracy theorist afar is a bit difficult, and even in a close seating arrangement are unlikely to be able to absorb information. When I talk to my mum about 9/11 she says things like 'you're so negative' and 'you're just like your dad' as if that's a bad thing (we believe in the conspiracies with substance etc.) and then often says things like 'everything's a conspiracy theory isn't it' and then she laughs and makes fun of me. But if I tried to talk to her about the group mentality and psychological conditioning she doesn't want to know about it... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25321896 This, or show them how the G'ment lies in other cases, and make them usually walk away with a "I cant believe it" look on their face. ie fuel tax and current state of AU roads, or how they lie before being elected. |

Aquarianside User ID: 21628353 United States 10/20/2012 08:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The way I see it, we know what we know. We are sure about what we know, in as much as it aligns with our own personal logic and reasoning. Why take this compliment any other way? Someone just told you that you have beliefs that aren't with in the mainstream, a non sarcastic "thank you" will help them out of their paradigm much faster than fueling a fire. The biggest lie out there right now is that our food contains everything our bodies need for optimal health. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 17090286 United States 10/20/2012 08:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Considering that I give no merit to theories and work only with facts, I would say that I am more of a Conspiracy Worker. I would then have to pose to them that one would have to ask themselves why conspiracy and theory are so often associated with one another psychologically. |
Resister User ID: 1461638 United States 10/20/2012 08:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Im not a consiracy theorist. I am a conspiracy realist. Conspiracies really do happen. I don't need to make someone else feel like shit for not believing, but only a fool would think that the hugely powerful people who run the world don't "conspire" to keep and increase their power and control. "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787 |

superfluous moon User ID: 25947318 Australia 10/20/2012 08:31 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | people are brainwashed into a dichotomy that cannot be resolved. for instance, when i bring up something 'conspiratorial', many a response is, 'the govt would tell us or it would be on the news.' but then, when you show them the govt admitting chemtrails and spraying of populations, they just brush it off like the govt didnt just tell them, which was what they supposedly wanted.... still on the spraying thing, even former fbi chief ted gunderson said they have to stop spraying (then died). is he high enough to warrant 'being told'? so in summation, a sheep says the govt would tell them but when the govt tells them they think the govts are liars. pretty fucked up huh? |

Work smarter, not harder. And you'll be far more effective when you learn to like yourself. ------ |
