Why Do People Believe Conspiracy Theories?

Some conspiracy theories are true. My favorite is that Jews were not slaves in Egypt. We all assume it to be true but turns out it’s probably not.

see now this just reflects intellectual laziness and bias towards the shiny things you are told are legit but have no other verifiable merit. not one factual refutation of anything i’ve said, just an unwillingness to consider anything that is not spoonfed to you through a media that is proven to be highly infiltrated by the CIA. yet you continue to consume it and call it reality. how do you look yourself in the mirror? why are you willing to accept a false representation of reality? don’t you have any self respect?

What you see here is a person acting as a “true believer.” He’s totally enmeshed in his fantasy world.

The thing about a lot of people with personality disorders and mental disorders is that they literally can’t imagine the world in any other light. Plenty of people with mental disorders think that they’re the sane ones and that everyone else is either crazy or weak.

…he says unironically. thank you, even if you have no idea why, that was perfect.

CW, if everyone is saying that you sound crazy, then maybe, just maybe its not just everyone else. Maybe its you. Its not necessarily the case. But its like the guy who if they come across one guy during the day whos an asshole and they think “oh man that guys an asshole,” then the guy was probably an asshole. But if EVERYONE they come across is an asshole, then maybe its the original guy who is the asshole.

Your “views” are so ridiculous that they dont even need refuting, theyre so blatantly, utterly wrong and baseless.

Keep on keepin on cw!

lol pizzagate

Yes a Pew Institute Fellow advertising time online with an infant ‘raw and uncut’ is hilarious.

I know, it’s hard to upset your delicate sensibilities. Much easier to ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist.

Why don’t you walk me through what you believe is happening here. This is just like 4chan, I have literally no idea what I’m looking at, if it’s real, what conclusions I’m supposed to draw, etc.

lol cw I can make a jpg with some text on it too

But hey, you do you. If you wanna believe some nonsense with no basis, then you do that. You do it often enough. Btw 4 days on your assange prediction. And you can’t just say “it happened” without it happening this time.

Look at the evie’s crib ad then look up who tamera luzzato is, then look at her Wikileaks podesta emails.

Plural? Are there more emails? Yeah that one is weird, but it doesn’t prove anything.

wow surprised turd is wrong again lol

that is one piece of info out of thousands. you have build the mosaic. many people have done this and put it together to make it easy to follow, 100% sourced. it’s easy enough to find if you are willing to look for it.

^ yeah, just like when reddit built the mosiac on the boston marathon bombers and it was completely wrong, amirite?

probably the definitive expose on the CIA/media relationship. but i’m sure they don’t do it anymore.

Julian assange still in ecuadorian embassy in london, that’s 0-6 charlie. Maybe one of the things you say in the next few months will turn out to not turn out to be completely asinine, who knows.

Its basic human nature to want to believe you’ve uniquely figured out something others have not. People want to be counter-intuitive because that means the greatest number of people are wrong and that means they are that much smarter / better. People bad mouth others to feel superior to them and that is just to compensate for all the reasons they feel bad about themselves. :bulb:
