Do you think this is funny?

tbh, in as much as their basis for defending 9/11 truther stuff is "you can't just trust official stories" they're not really different in kind epistemologically speaking from your average Twitter ML going on about the State Department whenever someones says something bad may have happened in a Communist country.

there's a paper trail of disinfo campaigns against communist countries. there isn't one for a controlled demolition. "bush knew about it and did nothing" is more reasonable, but it's still insanely funny their go-to example of things you should be skeptical about is 9/11 truth.

anyway that group is probably the best example of how media and politicians (but especially media) treat a big twitter following as a metric of value.

There might be a better reason for skepticism in one case than the other, but they're not really engaged in a fundamentally different thought process. I mean, as far as most people are concerned, "Most of the things you think are bad about Communism are a CIA op!" sounds about as nuts as "9/11 was an inside job!" if not more. Dunno, maybe I figured you'd be a little more sympathetic given that. :shrug:

And you may find yourself
Sitting in an oval office
And you may find yourself
Bombing another part of the world
And you may find yourself
Behind the wheel of a large empire
And you may find yourself in a white house
With the first wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?

it's weird how the red-brown accusations only ever target marginal figures or enemy countries of the us. oh well, probably not worth thinking about.
