[quote:Blue State Rebel:MV80MTEyNDcxXzc0NjI0Njc0XzdFRUU5RTQw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 74889294:MV80MTEyNDcxXzc0NjIyMTk4X0M5RkZCNkJD] When people (friends, family) have labeled me a CTer re 9/11, I've asked them to give me 5 minutes of time to show them why the OS is a conspiracy theory in and of itself. How many takers? None. I must be doing it wrong, I thought. But after a while I realized that the alternative to the OS is simply too frightening for the sheep to consider. Normalcy bias and cognitive dissonance... Welcome to the twilight zone.... [/quote] I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me on VARIOUS topics. Whether 911, or chemtrails or vaccines or Epstein or Hillary or whatever...people don't want to know. They don't want to think about anything complex, or unpleasant. They really want to live in some kind of fantasy world, but I think that's not going to be possible at some point soon when the economy collapses. As it has to, this rate of growth is fake and can't be sustained. Hard times make hard people. We've been too soft. Until then, I think we have a solid 25 maybe even to 30% of the population who are willing to consider these ideas. Maybe we can keep pushing it upwards. [/quote]
Original Message
Did I just see that?
An entire segment dedicated to how devastating conspiracy theories are... and how to handle family members who believe them...
Unbelievable.
They actually link the belief of conspiracy theories to a serious mental health diagnosis.
Wait... what??
This is absurd.
