Who makes money off pointing out the errors, lies, distortions, and general dishonesty of the Conspiracy Theorists? An author will spend months of his or her life tracking down the various looney claims of the CTs, then laboriously digging up the information and documenting it to demonstrate that they are lies, following which the book gets purchased by a few libraries, giving the author enough spending money to pay a month’s rent each year.
Meanwhile the CT predators simply invent rants at will, spouting the silliest nonsense, and hauling in cash from all sorts of fearful people who provide them an advertising base, (and often by collecting direct donations).
There are plenty of places the two of them agree. Both of them believe you are mentally ill. Both of them believe you need to seek assistance. Both of them believe that your nonsensical word salad ramblings are all the proof a licensed professional would need to treat you for a mental illness.
Being unable to see where those two posters’ common ground is is troubling. Please seek help.
We agree you have mental issues, the question is to what degree and if you are dangerous. I have noticed that you have stopped talking in absolutes, there might be light at the end of the tunnel for you.
The IMHO thread that you started that was eventually merged into this one.
But you know what, I will admit that I was wrong. While people’s time was certainly wasted responding to your IMHO thread, and the best course of action was to just ignore it in the first place, there’s still value to be had in responding in this thread - and that is to make an effort to get you to see a professional therapist that can help you with your mental illness.
Make an appointment to discuss your OCD with a professional, and then bring in this thread printed out for him to read and give you an assessment.
This is an illustration of Jackmanni’s Law, which states:
The greater the tendency to believe in conspiracy theories and to pride oneself on not being one of the “sheeple”, the more likely it is that one can be flim-flammed by entrepreneurs catering to that mindset.
Thus it is that people collect large sums of money from the credulous for useless products and to promote bogus theories, successfully claiming that revelations about their bogus nature proves that They are trying to suppress the Truth.
Er have you forgotten where you are? Remember we are fighting ignorance. This is why you are constantly being asked for cites, if you could show one iota of proof that the Illuminati exist, we would be happy to hear it. I have been proved wrong several times in my short time here and don’t mind a bit, but you seem unable change your beliefs when confronted with overwhelming evidence that those beliefs are unrealistic.
No, the IMHO thread was the one Kozmik started where he would list his political beliefs (which he didn’t) and answer any questions about them (which he didn’t). It was a huge Kozmik masturbation thread, and was rightfully recombined into this thread to keep all the nonsense to one forum.
See what happens when you are away from the dope for a day or two, you miss important stuff. I saw the calls for the thread and saw the merger but not the actual thread. Wrong again :smack: CAPT
*FinnAgain and Ravenman went down to the bar
They drank some whiskey and drank some gin, jar after jar
They loaded up the laptop and logged in to th’Dope
They read about conspiracies, 'till they could no longer cope
They had to read each word two times ‘cos they were seein’ double Kosmik blamed the Illuminati, and that’s what started the trouble!
Hi-di-hi-di-hi-di-hi, debate turned to fisticuffs,
Hi-di-hi-di-hi-di-ho, debate turned to fisticuffs!*
Actually we are closer to agreeing than not. I agree that the default position is that Alex Jones is a nutter. But I believe he is an evil fucker who preys on the weak. We both agree he spouts nonsense.
**DrFidelius **argued that governments are in fact large group of people working together (which is something all of us already knew). How does this constitute, in any way, shape or form, evidence for the existence of the Illuminati?
For someone who goes on and on and on about the Illuminati, you have given absolutely no evidence that you know jack shit about them. I’ve asked you direct questions involving a couple of their groups and been blown off, which just shows that you are a shallow poser with no real knowledge, hoping that you could be seen as somebody mysteriously important.
