Conspiracy theorists aren't real. My theory is that they are a fabrication meant to make us disprove anything that goes against the mainstream narrative.
In reality, the truth is always somewhere in the middle.
- christophilus 4y agoConspiracy theorists are created by the deep state in order to make the rest of us feel secure in our smugness.
- fumar 4y agoWhat is the mainstream narrative?
- ycombinete 4y agoEducate yourself please, sheeple

- JasonFruit 4y agoWhat is the other side? I only see the War Party.
- atoav 4y agoThe other side is the one that does not support one of the established parties.

- revolvingocelot 4y ago>In reality, the truth is always somewhere in the middle I've always held that lizard people control some of the government, and that the moon landing was fake but obviously shot on location.
- irrational 4y agoHmm, birds are fake, birds are dinosaurs, dinosaurs look like lizards, therefore lizard people are fake.
- sn41 4y agoDinosaurs never died. They just became the world government. (/s)

- FooBarBizBazz 4y agoThey just turned into pigeons, really.
- akomtu 4y agoYour theory doesn't explain how some birds became alligators.
- krapp 4y ago>and that the moon landing was fake but obviously shot on location. Stanley Kubrick is nothing if not a true auteur. Also probably eats mice whole.

- oneoff786 4y ago> In reality, the truth is always somewhere in the middle This is a dumb take in the context of outlandish conspiracy theories.
- irrational 4y agoThey are clearly joking. They start off with conspiracy theorists not being real.
- oneoff786 4y agoI don’t think they’re joking. I would be curious to hear from them. A lot of conspiracy theorists think they’re in the middle. They identify some crazies in their group but still hang out with them and use their presence to justify their own, still extreme, opinions as the moderate view.
- JKCalhoun 4y agoI don't think they were joking either — is incongruous with their first statement. Calling it a "dumb take" however is more likely to invite fighting rather than discussion. Is there any historical evidence that the conspiracy theorists were ever half-right (or right at all)? To be sure, there have been conspiracies in the past but our inability to keep a secret seems to have always trumped attempts to conceal (but IANAH, I am not a historian).
- oneoff786 4y agoIt’s a well established source of bias, especially in media. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_balance You should not assume views have merit by default.
- irrational 4y agoWait, do we mean different things by conspiracy theorists not being real? Because, otherwise, I can’t see how you can think this is not a joke. I think they mean there literally are no people alive/real that hold conspiracy theory views. Clearly there are real people who espouse conspiracy theories, therefore OP must be joking.
- drewcoo 4y agoThere is no middle. Only outsides. Like a klein bottle but also not.
- bee_rider 4y agoJokes aside, I'd be 0% surprised if there were some famous conspiracy theorists who were on various intelligence agencies payrolls to draw attention and make the idea of a conspiracy look silly.
- h2odragon 4y agoThere's also some "voluntary cover" involved; people who know things are eager to tell what they know as well as avoid the consequences. So they're likely to add a dose of crazy too, to disassociate what might be recognizably their experiences into something they can deny at need. Few people tell their stories with full fidelity anyway, we gloss over our mistakes and make everything better and less banal by instinct.
- ratsmack 4y ago>Conspiracy theorists aren't real. There are some real nut cases out there, like the whole "Q" thing. But I think that the true believers and the most fervently vocal ones are a fairly small minority and the rest look at it the same way as Santa and the Easter bunny.
- JKCalhoun 4y ago> the rest look at it the same way as Santa and the Easter bunny. Ha ha, as an atheist, I chuckled at where you stopped. After unraveling the Santa Conspiracy as a child I began to question all of our other "cultural lore". Like the Easter Bunny.
- brnaftr361 4y agoIf you tear off enough of the sheeting everything is a form of myth. Order and authority, the language and how we justify it all.
