If we black people didn't riot after 12 Years A Slave, Django, The Help, or the new Roots, what makes them think that we'd riot after Birth of A Nation? Oh wait! Racism.

I was under the impression Black Lives Matter was a direct response to The Help.

I want to say this is a Ray Bradbury short story (I actually have no idea, and Google isn't being helpful), but if I remember correctly there wasn't much mention of ascending to a godlike state at the end of it all. And all I got from it was something like "Huh, that would kind of suck actually."

What makes that poorly-rendered rooster so king of kingsly? Is it his proud strut? His alarming punctuality? Maybe his willingness to peck out the eyes of sinners? Whatever it is I think a good question we can all ask ourselves is What Would This loving Rooster Do?

Latin typically uses an -a ending for a feminine noun that's the subject of a sentence. Because of that Latin based languages (or languages with heavy Latin influences like English) tend to have a lot of female names ending with -a.

The problem is with these false flag thoeries - where is the government finding these people who are willing to get themselves killed to advance the government's plan? This evil super secret shadowy government must offer really good healthcare and dental or something.

And like every conspiracy theory, it relies on being able to keep anywhere from dozens to thousands of people quiet (depending on the scale of the fictional operation), not one of whom mysteriously disappears or reveals the whole affair.

Has there ever been a mass shooting that nobody thought was a "false flag" of some sort?

They're all actors, no one was actually killed. Then the government hosed up and reused an actress from Sandy Hook in another mass shooting a few months later and the whole thing was blown open.

They are victims of the human ability to see and recognize patterns, even when they aren't really there. The fact that conspiracy theories, perversely enough, are very comforting to them. It means that the world has order and sense behind it, even if it is malevolent.

The idea that things simply happen, that the world is simply a chaotic mess with no rhyme nor reason behind it or that it's caused by complex systems beyond their comprehension is what they don't want to confront, because it is far more frightening to them than the idea that the evil elites, whoever they are, are behind it.

I don't quite buy into the "they're scared of chaos and need comfort" angle--it seems far more likely that they want to feel special for seeing things the sheeple are oblivious to and enjoy playing the victim when they can blame the establishment or whoever for things not working out for them.

At least, I think that's the case for your garden-variety conspiracy nuts (BIG PHARMA is hiding the cure for the common cold to sell more cold medicine) and people who for some reason are obsessed with one particular thing (Sandy Hook was a false flag operation designed to take ARE GUNS). No loving clue what the average unironic flat-earther's deal is.
