"Thinker" is such a generous term.

Personally, I think it's more that we live in a world where we're constantly aware of the achievements of people who are way, way smarter than us, who might be better at the things we do than we could ever hope to be. So, in order to feel good about themselves, conspiracy theorists construct this narrative where *everybody else* is stupid and deluded 'sheeple', and they're the only ones who really see what's going on, allowing them to believe that they're smarter/better without actually doing anything to prove that.

DStecks posted:No poo poo. If New Vegas was supposed to present an actual legitimate choice between the Legion and the NCR it colossally failed. On the other hand, I think it's great that the game gives you the freedom to make a completely horrific set of choices; doing good stuff only really has weight if you have the option to do otherwise, and aren't just getting railroaded into being the hero. The error that these folks are making is similar to the one they make regarding left-wing vs right-wing movements, in that they believe that if there are two opposing viewpoints, both sides must in some sense be equally valid (or invalid).
