We are embracing the term, because when everyone is a conspiracy theorist, it won't work to discredit people anymore by calling them that.

- krapp 4y agoI mean, the conspiracy theorists insisted Ghislaine Maxwell was going to be "suicided", there would never be a trial, all this information would be conveniently memory-holed and the media would never cover anything related to Epstein because their globalist controllers would never allow it. Literally everything happening right now goes against the conspiracy theorists' theories. Hell, they were trying to decode secret messages in Democratic Party emails about nonexistent sex dungeons in pizzerias when this broke, Epstein wasn't even on their radar. Now they're insisting they were right about everything all along. They're discredited because their thumbtacks and string bullshit always harms legitimate inquiry and discourse more than it ever helps[0..2]. They're only ever right in the same way a broken clock is.

- henriquez 4y agoA broken clock would be right more often than the government and mainstream media have been on cases like this.
- jacquesm 4y agoExcept of course all the evidence which shows that isn't the case. Really, you should stop amplifying this nonsense.

- krapp 4y agoYou think I've never encountered anyone like this in the wild? I live in Texas and I hang out here all the time. What I and most people understand about them and their beliefs comes directly from their own lips and keyboard fingers. Classic attempt at deflection, though. You can't discredit the message, so attack the messenger.
