I see an awful lot of derision of "conspiracy theorists" but very little actual discussion about the known factors that play in this conversation. First of all, lets state the fact that the very term conspiracy theorist was part of a post public non-acceptance of the Warren report program by the CIA to silence and ridicule the reports critics by labelling them. Then lets understand that this same technique is being used today but they have higly evolved their propoganda. I'm one of HNs resident "conspiracy theorists", but I also highly value logical and rational thinking and evidence/citations in thos theories. The people I talk to don't think that every line in the sky is a chemtrail, rather, they are concerned and geoengineering and its unforseen side effect consequences, and dont trust those in power to be either competent or non malicious. To then lump all the people concerned about this and to only specifically discredit chemtrails but not talk about that bigger picture is fine, but what isnt is for everyone to start ridiculing conspiracy theorists as if they are all one crazy irrational monolithic group. Great discrediting technique, but not good for intellectual discussion focused on finding truth or educating people. I especially dont like all the people taking this chance to wax one or two sentences poetic about just how irrational theorists are, suddenly shifting and not even referencing the subject matter presented. (on a similar note, I think Hanlons razor, often invoked by those doing the ridiculing, is actually a logical fallacy on its face). Now, to play a little devils advocate, heres a youtube link that is interesting. Notice how he doesnt say this is happening, just that he is interested in this tech.
