theworstname posted:Conspiracy theories regarding stuff like 9/11 fit into a narrative in which America is an evil, money-grubbing bully. Controversies like the recent Snowden scandal adds strength to that assertion. The actual events support that narrative as well though. So we were attacked by a bunch of Saudi nationals funded by a dude in Afganistan... so let's attack Iraq for reasons! I'm not sure why people feel the need to invent bizarre theories when the actual truths are bizarre. It's like the vaccine guys complaining about how vaccines are some conspiracy by big pharma to do, something something, ignoring the actual evidence of Big Pharma essentially bribing doctors with kickback/reward schemes to over prescribe other forms of medicine because they make more money. I just don't get it - there is bad stuff happening right under people's nose, but they invent this entire other set of bad stuff instead.
