In reality, they wouldn't. The New World Order or Freemasons or whoever would not run their organization like the Crips and put their iconography on everything while trying to remain a secret. There would be no evidence, there would be no trace, there would be no codes. But conspiracy theorists think that they've managed to crack the code and have figured something out that John Q. Public are too dumb to figure out and find a pattern that was never there.

It just whistles. Lots of buildings do it here. It's almost as if air rapidly moving through alternately open and closed spaces could create sound.

Ask those people if they've ever been diagnosed with autism. A boss at my old job had a son who was autistic, said he'd pick up things like hidden codes and signs all the time because his mind focused on those things specifically.
If they dare to answer yes, just nod and move on

The combination of paul mccartney is dead, full on paranoid-schizo magical thinking and the slurring australian accent makes this an extra crazy listen.

Enjoy!

Oh that picture in the still seems to be implying that Paul McCartney is in fact Barack Obamas mother. Yes, this video is THAT crazy

edit: Oh gently caress, this is completely barking. Apparently what it is is paul mccartney , barack obamas mother, dave davies from the kinks and so on are all children of alister crowley .

I've noticed a trend of crazy conspiracy-believing people claiming that their opponents are all paid shills.

Bitcoin is an easy example, if you follow any of the bitcoin threads here then you've seen tons of people from /r/bitcoin subreddit who authentically believe that every single person who criticizes bitcoin is being paid by banks or the government to hate bitcoin.

I've also seen it with anti-vaxxers. I've personally been accused of being paid off by pharmaceutical companies because I don't believe that vaccines contain mind control serum or whatever the gently caress.

Where I live there's a ballot initiative to put a moratorium on growing GMOs, with serious jailtime and huge fines levied on all offenders. What most people around here don't realize is that every papaya tree in the region is a GMO variety, and a lot of people like to grow them as decoration or as part of a garden, so a lot of people are going to be unknowingly hosed if this law passes. There are also public documents showing that this initiative is almost entirely funded by organic farming groups from out of state, but the whole thing poses as a grass roots movement. Local small farmers have even been speaking out in the local newspapers about the bill. But if you even raise a concern about the wording of the initiative then you're a shill paid by Monsanto, according to the anti-GMO group

Have you guys noticed this sort of conspiratorial accusation with other insane groups?

Man, y'all are ridiculous. We need a new conspiracy to talk about, arguing with that brony is getting old.

I don't know what a "theoretical documentary" is, but apparently they're composed of a bunch of random video game footage edited together and are narrated with text-to-speech.

In conspiracy theories, it is very important to recognize all sides and have an open mind.

I could call you names and wait for you to call me names, but gently caress it, let's do this. What 9/11 references in Back to the Future are you talking about, and why would someone put them there?

OMG
I was making a "Jet Fuel Can't Melt Steel Beams" joke with a co-worker when another co-worker turned it into a serious discussion.... And he brought up WTC7.
GDI I hate even knowing a lot of the 9/11 conspiracy theroy stuff I do, and I really hate talking about it now.

I do like how I keep cutting him off on his train of thought, though. "Yeah, you know WTC7 that fell, that wasn't hit by a plane?" "Yeah, the one that was hit by massive amounts of debris from the towers' collapse?" and he would pause for a moment and couldn't really pick it back up.
And yes, I had to do the "You're right, you don't have to melt steel in order to have it start to fail!"

Hi fag, the building falls faster than gravity due to the lack of air inside the building. If the air remains in the building, there will be extra mass for the falling mass to overcome making it fall slower than it would fall in free fall state. The speed of gravity is the free fall state, retard, anything less is less than the speed of gravity, retard. By the way, it is about 120 MPH in our atmosphere near sea level, free fall, that takes about 3 seconds to attain rocket scientist. A building cannot fall faster than gravity without controlled demolition.

It is the vacuum created by the hi explosive chemical reaction that allows the building to fall faster than gravity.
