Overall, I'm not fond of people who automatically dismiss every conspiracy theory just because it is a conspiracy theory. Conspiracies do happen. There were conspiracies in Ancient Rome. Watergate was a conspiracy theory that ended up being true.
As a result, I think that real intellectuals should analyse conspiracy theories on a case-by-case basis, rather than dismissing every conspiracy theory as automatically wrong. Yes, I am even willing to extend this line of reasoning to anti-Semitic conspiracy theories. In our society, we are supposed to automatically dismiss all "hateful" statements simply because they are hateful ... but I think that it's more fun to consider politically incorrect opinions and then analyse them on a factual basis.
For example, we should point out that plenty of Jews will convert to Christianity and have non-Jewish families ... so who is a Jew? How much Jewish DNA do you need in order to be a Jew? I'm part Jewish. Why haven't I ever been to one of their Illuminati conspiracy meetings? If race mixing will eventually destroy the white race, won't it destroy the Jewish race as well? How can you possibly believe that Aryans are superior if Jews control everything? How is it possible for a "weak" race to fare so well within a cutthroat capitalist framework? How come anti-Semitic countries are usually brutal dictatorships, whereas countries that embrace ethnic equality tend to be full of wealth? How come so many white nationalists admire Ancient Rome even though the Romans didn't embrace "racial purity" until near the end of their history ... when their empire was starting to come apart?
See what I mean? This is why I hate political correctness. It's more fun to analyze politically incorrect opinions on a case-by-case basis and point out everything that is simply nonsensical.
I agree with every word. I don't believe in those conspiracy theories but also I don't think they should be entirely disregarded because there may be a grain of truth to some of them. For one, I don't believe there is a NWO but it's not far-fetched to think that very wealthy people have enough power to influence markets in their own favour, create trends and corrupt governments. Now, saying that that is possible doesn't mean it really happens. I don't think we should buy those stories with lack of reasonable evidence. What the theorists call "evidence" also baffle me. They go from "point A" to "point C" without a straight line "B" which would connect the dots. Besides that, they seem to support their claims from any piece of fiction they can get hold of. "This scene from a Kubrick movie totally proves it, wake up mankind"!. They really seem to think that artists have special connections and information from "the backstage" for the sole reason that they can make movies. Wouldn't the supposedly omniscient and all-powerful authorities in charge to watch our every step have forbidden such movies to be even started into production?
What annoys me the most about them is their arrogance and disrespect. They feel entitled to call people "stupid sheeple", scientists "paid-for shills" and expect us to respect them and take them seriously.
Why do they always make those YT vids that play for no less than two hours long, where they keep telling all the way through: "keep watching, I'll show you the proof in a minute", just to show eventually that they actually have no documents, no math, no science, no facts, nothing with them except their wishful thinking of living in an oppressive world that is all against them and keeps human kind inside of a bubble of lies? It's them who live in a bubble and they can't admit it because that would require them to grow up, change and face a reality that they are too weak to see. They want to believe that they are bearers of special knowledge, chosen ones, smarter than the smart and so on. That's delusion, autosuggestion, pseudoscience and anti-science.
Now they can come to us and say that they were right before when nobody believed them, because of e.g. the confirmed MK-Ultra documentation. What I have to say about that is this: if one keeps inventing weird theories all day long, there'll be a chance that one of those theories will hit the bull's eye at one point. Unfortunately, spreading those invented stories as if they were no fantasies won't help us in finding the truth, rather will confuse and prevent us from reaching the bottom of the well.
One more puzzling thing about the theorists' behaviour: they like to think that they have critical thinking because they reject the mainstream currents of thought and anything indoctrinated at school kids, but they will immediately accept whatever is said in an YT vid or a shallow internet article without questioning!
To wrap it up: I don't feel like I should support any theories lacking reasonable evidence, no matter if in the end the theories proves to be true. If the theory is eventually proven I will accept it. No proof, no evidence, no documents equals no reason to believe in it. Belief is faith, faith is no science. If there's a shade of doubt about a fact, I'll accept that such a fact is questionable and should be investigated. Doubts don't infer that our whole world is a manufactured lie and I am not saying that it's not... we need the facts though!
