> nut job conspiracy theories
Many conspiracies have turned out to be real. The Gulf of Tonkin incident (how the US tricked everyone in believing North Vietnam attacked them) being an obvious example. That puts the whole "conspiracy theory come from bad civilians" and "misinformation comes from bad civilians" narrative in a psy-op kind of day light. I see most problematic mis-info being peddled by govts, NGOs (WEF, NATO) and the(ir) MSM. The BS they crank out in the context of the Ukraine destabilization by the US+NATO is, quite literally, unbelievable.
- MrBuddyCasino 3y agoI think that ultimately, both sides believe in conspiracy theories, they just don’t think of them that way. Leftists believe in the Russia Collusion one, right-wingers in the stolen election. The problem is that the ones perpetrated by the state are more severe because the consequences are often war, and only a small minority (usually rw) has any idea they took place. Ultimately, falsehoods and fabrications are how democracies launder war. Most people still believe Pearl Harbor came out of the blue, which is ridiculous if you know about the preceding blockade.
- cies 3y agoSince Durham we know it is stolen. Also the irregularities in Oregon state voting are telling the story of a stolen election. "Leftists" do not exist in US political arena. Sanders was close but even he would not want to "socialize" (bring under control of the workers) US business. What is called "left" in the US is generally more right-wing than right-wing liberal parties in Europe. Probably you mean Democrats (that we know since the Durham report do not give a f*ck about democracy).
