I was just (again) accused of being paid to post on ATS. Think you guys should start paying me?

I've never liked this word. It seems it's a psychology escapism to consider yourself one of the "enlightened". Like you're special in some regards because you know a bit of knowledge that another does not.
When you see someone do something out of ignorance do you try to help educate them? Do you ridicule them? Do you sit back and laugh like some doofus at how silly they are?
If you believe people are misinformed, you should be out there saying it, and not in here. Go out and inform people about things.
The other problem is the difference in multitudes of conspiracy theories. What is considered in one to be educated is quite ignorant of another.
None of us here contain all the knowledge that is needed to even for a second consider ourselves any better off then anyone else. The truth has many levels, and I've not met anyone who knew them all.
We is all sheeple.

I actually used to suspect disinfo-agents on ATS, as evidenced by very old threads of mine. The inflationary use of the word to silence disagreement has led me to change my stance on the issue and conclude that there are more idiots around than there are disinfo agents.

It is a term I refuse to use.
Firstly, it is divisive.
Secondly, it is intended to be bigoted.
Thirdly, it implies superiority.
Fourthly, it projects responsibility onto a group for those things that can truly only be pursued and changed by a dedicated few. If you don't like it, do something about it.
