A Message to WP's Conspiracy Theorists.

Post Reply New Topic

Therein lies the problem, I suppose. I think people could argue what constitutes conspiracy theories as much as any other aspect of politics.

Speaking of the more spying, espionage, and false flag type stuff - I'm not quite convinced that people either believe or disbelieve these things for rational reasons unless it's rational allegiance to what they want to believe about the world. What I tend to observe is that most people are just made of really crooked timber and have fundamental allegiences to ideas, beliefs, etc. based on their current stack of beliefs. No matter how true a thing is or how good the evidence is a person will likely ignore it or roundly deny it if it goes counter-narrative to their beliefs and yet they'd buy into something hook, line, and sinker if it's on sketchy evidence but it edifies their deeply held beliefs.

^ People believe things when those things are consistent with their existing beliefs. If their existing beliefs are wrong, they may reject true beliefs that are inconsistent with their existing beliefs and accept false beliefs that are consistent with their (also false) existing beliefs.

It could happen to me, you or anyone.

How do you know it was ex Russian spies?

I know. I was making a point to the guy who started the thread that was obviously aimed at me as he said "speak of the devil" when I posted.

That's why you get the people on one side of the coin who believe everything their TV tells them and on the other side they believe everything they see/hear on Infowars.

That's the point of actually doing legwork to figure things out. It can happen to anyone, some choose to stay there others choose to double-check things especially if they hit all the right buttons or land a giant slab of red meat on their plate.

To be fair, chemicals do screw up with hormones; which is a major problem bringing sexual malformations in water living animals, and may be why men sperm quality is in decline since decades. Not that it's a conspiracy, just our industrial civilization poisoning everything as byproducts while working for our comforts and making profits.

Don't believe Russia has an extradition treaty with any other country. Now they are back in Russia its likely these people will simply never be seen of heard of again.

We gave their fingerprints. You'd think we'd wanna find out who they are.

Yep. My conspiracy theorist dad keeps saying they're deliberately poisoning us for a variety of reasons, including the plan to reduce the world's population by 90% but really if people get poisoned it will probably be because the polluters just didn't care, not because they were deliberately poisoning people.

Of course poisoning people due to your indifference is still bad but it's less insidious. It's not mass murder, it's mass manslaughter. Conspiracy theorists see evil everywhere and in a way they're not wrong but the problem is, that the true evils of society are the mundane evils but conspiracy theorists like to see fantastic evils. E.g. your governor might be taking bribes but the conspiracy theorist will ignore that say the governor is part of a satanic global conspiracy which has been ruling the world for the last 200 years.

We should not ignore the evils of the world just because most of them are mundane. Not all the ills of the world have to resemble something out of a Dan Brown novel.

It makes me laugh as some members with thinner sensitive skin would be crying to the mods about now. They are quite happy to dish it out to anyone who does not fit their model of thinking but woe betide anyone giving it back.

I was never in disbelief about who committed these vile atrocities as the evidence is plain for all to see.
I don't think these military spies whether they are past or current news will 'never' be seen again so long as they are a present threat to the public. Exactly the reason why businessman Trump fired all his 60 diplomats,if indeed it was that many. More from disgruntled EU neighbours A British spy or journalist won't risk their necks to source how much the FSB are willing to go in order to project their sick cause on innocent members of the public.
It's put me off going to the Xmas Market this year or any year in Salisbury, until safe and appropriate measures for public security are barricaded properly and put in place by the civil ministry of defence. We as a whole majority should have had this from day one, not giving car owners a free stay for a pound. I await future news, but it won't be with baited breath.

Can you let me know what the evidence is exactly? Do you know something the world doesn't? Shopping will be fine, just don't pick up any fully wrapped perfume bottles in charity bins.

^^I think they call it advanced CCTV footage and you shouldn't feel worried yet.. No one knows where you live. I don't think you can honestly acknowledge what anyone says unless they are being held in custody and placed at the scene of the crime,
and it's not ours is it. So their names are withheld. Don't you take into account footage? That's called incriminating evidence.
It's fine to make fictional friends but real enemy's are something else entirely and quoting someone who has said as much to you all be it, on another wavelength, should be respected for their facts and views. Maybe read more on present day happenings. You seem to be bowing to your own and not the real majority.

So no evidence then....

Our own government doesn't seem to know who the two men are yet they know they are Russian agents who were delivered by Putin. Never heard such garbage in my life. More outrageous than the tripe before the Iraq war.
