I know a person who thinks the US/jews did 9/11. They never really had a fully thought out plot, they'd just flit from one wrong idea to another as soon as the flaws in each became apparent. They'd fall back on claims of "studying history" (youtubing loosechange for muslems: The arrivals) to backup their poo poo. It always seems their motivation was just that it wasn't muslims. They're pretty stupid.

My ex-girlfriend was a truther who had lived in the financial district in New York City. She said she had never personally met anyone who had seen the planes hitting the towers and thought this was "suspicious." :wtc:

I agree, it is suspicious that somebody claiming to live in NYC would say that. You should have accused them of never living in New York at all.

The Koch Brothers gave a bunch of money to a famous climatologist and AGW-skeptic. With the funds to test his hypothesis, he found out that, wait, global warming is happening and it is being caused by people.

I distinctly remember that days of the week used to go Friday > Sunday > Saturday > Monday etc and then at some point in the early 90's it swapped to the way it is today. Nobody else seems to remember this though?

There is absolutely a truther-like anti-climate change movement. Cynical concerns may have started it, but there are many people who legitimately think the whole thing is a government plot to take away freedoms and herd/control people. They often also believe that Agenda 21 is a shadowy conspiracy, both closely linked with the lie of climate change.

Personal automobile use, suburban land use patterns, high material consumption are all symbols of freedom. The government is pushing all this climate change and green poo poo to get us living in crowded cities where we can be easily controlled and monitored, they want to take away our cars so our mobility is reduced, and get us dependent on transit which is dependence on government. They want us to feel guilty about consuming luxuries even though they aren't in short supply and we deserve them. It's the same old statist communism, telling us where to live, how to live, where we can go. It's the same "experts" thinking they know better than real people with real experiences (if climate change is real how come get cold winter??).

It's enough that even people who do more or less believe in climate change and believe humans are mostly causing it will get all "south parky" and think the truth is in the middle. "Well on one hand there's all these out of touch scientists and so called experts saying we need to drastically change the way our society and economy functions, while on the other hand there's people who say this is all a government plot to tell us what to do. Truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Climate change is real but science-elites and socialists are just using it as an excuse to push their agenda."

Also people have agendas! Agendas are bad. Environmentalists have an AGENDA to protect the environment, so don't trust all their talk about protecting the environment because don't forget, they have an agenda. If anyone has an agenda you can't trust them, even if they are entirely up-front with their agenda and their agenda is fact-based.
Anthropogenic climate change is a secular false religion based on gaia worship and liberal guilt. Something something recycling is original sin.

I'm from the NYC area and was active in anti war demonstrations all the time and trying to get attention to the danger and recklessness of American foreign policy to peace. But I watched every protest get hijacked by fringe conspiracy people who blamed Bush for 9/11 handing out truther pamphlets and making us look like illegitimate crazies. I thought they were doing way more harm than good for my causes and beliefs by teaching other young angry people like me the wrong framework to guide left wing politics and right and wrong. American hubris and imperialism led to 9/11 which was a tragedy. But teaching people about loving melting points of steel instead of our decades of interference in the Middle East was as harmful as blind patriotism to helping prevent something like 9/11 from ever happening again. That's why I can't stand conspiracy theorists.. Ends up validating an ignorant American centric view of history.
That's a thing that bugs me about conspiracy theorists too. They'll never make any positive change in what they're concerned about because they can't even correctly identify the problem. At best they'll just waste resources, at worst they stand to make additional problems jumping at shadows while the original cause for concern goes unanswered.

One of the theories about Icke himself is that the episodes which caused him to go off the rails into crazy town were actually engineered by powerful people who didn't want the truth of the molestation rings to come out. He had been talking about them long before his breakdown, and had moved in the same circles as Saville and his ilk.

This sounds pretty interesting, do you have any links about it?

Okay, so I sort of get being dumb enough to believe that Paris was a false flag - but being dumb enough to believe that no one actually knew or cared about the dead, in spite of people telling them so? That's just cold, and why their stupid "just asking questions" attitude really get under my skin.

I saw a crazy youtube from some conspiracy weirdo and he kept repeating, "nobody was hurt nobody was killed" about some school shooting. It really seemed like it was all a reaction to the random horror of life. They also took a break in the middle to smoke a bong.

That's called being a victim of "gangstalking" and of all the ct's i think it's the one that is most clearly a mental illness. There are some bizarre videos on youtube of "victims" who present some baffling evidence. They seem to think that the 'government' or whoever is just loving with them, sneaking into their homes and rearraging their clothes or scuffing their shoes. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them had Morgellons as well

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WuGR_DmnoI a handy guide about 4 mins in he starts explaining how they are sneaking in and artificially wearing out his clothes

Laugh if you want but when he started showing how his clothes had been messed with, I realized I've been being gangstalked my entire life. :aaaaa:

Ah just listen to all of them or none of them. Let me tell you something. Yesterday I walked out into my yard and there's a monkey there. It's not unusual it happens a lot where I live. Now this monkey had got hold of a pipe wrench from my shed which it is totally not allowed to do and it was beating the hell out of this chicken. It was beating on its spine. Like really hard. Now, to me this was a very black and white issue, morally speaking. There was right and wrong there, even supposing that the chicken had done something to anger the monkey. That was not right.

The thing is with larger issues than that one is that they're not only incredibly complicated but you always get second hand accounts of them. They're written so large and in such shorthand terms that they're never anywhere near the truth of the matter. Any agency that dares throw commentary on this stuff post-reportage only muddies the waters even further. Perspective layers on perspective and agenda dogpiles on agenda until somewhere out there you can end up with a guy who's on national television saying that chickens are brutal animals that cause Crohns disease and that monkey was a freedom fighter. None of it is true.

You want to listen to some political commenters then listen to my long suffering wife who never wanted those chickens in the first place and sleeps in the spare room now or listen to Bill from next door who lays traps for the monkeys, like really nasty over-the-top traps. Life is full of dumb idiots with opinions that don't matter but at some point you've got to say to yourself these are my monkeys, my chickens and I'm going to make this thing work. gently caress political commenters.

Words of wisdom, but they want a 20minute YouTube slideshow to tell them what to think.
