BBC Publishes Cringe Guide For ‘Talking To Conspiracy Theorist Relatives’ At Christmas

a reply to: Tulpa

Then claimed...."I've studied this stuff at PhD level and you people don't know what you're talking about ".

A winning move to attract an audience, I thought.

Well, it would be, if people were still studying stuff (which they aren't) and knew when they know what they're talking about.

Education is important.

I wonder if this guide will help me to tell vegans that there diet is one great conspiracy, or those people who think that video games make you violent? Those are two conspiracies that the MSN don't seem to want to address.

Yea the word "conspiracy" is a dog whistle for crazy.

If i sense a convo is needed about who I am I just say about all the theories that have turned or to be true or cannot be proven either way.

I like reading people's stories because some are so outlandish but...make for a good read and a laugh at times.

Once again it's people putting up a wall to something they don't understand.

I think you’re right but it’s maybe putting up a wall to defend what they understand.

“Conspiracy theories” are largely just taking known information and seeing it in a different light or perhaps slicing the data differently and then reaching a different conclusion. The different conclusion often leads to more questions that challenge the official narrative of those in power.

That makes people uncomfortable as their simple, spoon fed little world is destroyed.

Is it time for a world-wide Yellow Vest revolt?

Well, I thought they would overcome but on cue the skull head basher's came out in Hong Kong and France. I think they petered out but I haven't followed the yellow vests in months.

You seem to write as if your working for some one or some thing. Are you in fact being paid to post sir as I am not.

a reply to: Waterglass

Ah yes. Here we go with the old "paid shill" bit.

Sure sign of a lost argument.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

You haven't answered the question. Please do so sir. So I can believe in you.

a reply to: Waterglass

No, of course I am not being paid to post.

Jeez, fella?

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Thanks. I will continue to write you often. Feel free to disagree with me on any and all stuff. Thanks again

Oh. Once you work INTEL for decades one tends to get jumpy. You will trust nothing. I cant stop that. I also view the world totally different than you. I nor you are wrong it just the wiring that gets rewired as what we see is so disturbing you will never forget.

Many of us here joined to role play as a fictional character. Some of us were exposed to the real thing. Those who were never exposed basically cannot comprehend the amount of evil that surrounds us.

All I can say is that at the end of the day all one can do is pray. To whomever.

a reply to: Waterglass

Will do. And Happy Christmas.

Celebrating our Brexit deal and getting back our freedom and sovereignty.

It's good to disagree. Take care. Peace and love.

i'm not a conspiracy theorist.
if a story in the news doesn't make sense to me i ask questions until i get to a conclusion that fits the facts. (if facts can even be found.)
if i can't get to a conclusion i sit on the story and try not to become bias in my view on the subject. i also remind myself some stories may never fully be explained. and that's cool too. the world is a wonderfully mysterious place.

Merry Christmas and same to you!

a reply to: EnigmaChaser

Sorry for the late reply.... But nice! I agree!

Example.... Aliens.... We know the universe is so vast that no one can comprehend...thus, aliens must have a good chance of existing. Yet people look at you like you're purple if you say you believe there are aliens out there.
