Conspiracists - how do you handle them?

[delamaize]

This is how I handle Conspiracists:

I look on the internet to validate my argument. Everything on here is true.

ugh

o well.

[Mr. Tasty]

he included them above me so i just helped ;D

but the two party system is what is killing this nation it should be a bunch of independent THINKERS from each area of the country voted by their particular ideals if they match their constituents. not along fucking elephant shits and a donkey shits...:roll:

woah woah, but that is logical and requires people to actually think. Weird

And imo, about the federal reserve. Making people believe in the moral authenticity of the premises of a conspiracy is a great way to keep it as such.

ugh

And IN MY OPINION, about the federal reserve. People usually live their lives within the guidelines of their beliefs and this is no different. Conspiracy theorists (that term is a huge blanket statement) are nutty and annoying but, just as much are the ones providing the counter argument in similar fashion.

I'll mark myself as a "conspiracy theorist" through my study and observations of human nature and history. I believe that there are real psychopaths moving the world to their tune and not for the greater good. I've definitely played into that stereotype at parties and on here and I'm trying my best to not sound so retarded (goes for any idea/opinion) but in a world where anything can be edited/erased/silenced, I feel like I have the bloody right to think that way.

lol, I'm done with whatever this soap box was and not going to respond at least in this thread again, but I would like to say one thing. It's remarkable how people can be made to believe in the moral authenticity of something with just the right amount of conditioning...aka marketing.

Pretty much nothing in that wiki can be applied to Prism/NSA.

There are some good discussion/argument tactics against conspiracy theorists:

You're trying to have a nice intellectual discussion about current events or whatever, and all of a sudden:
"So what about World Trade Center 7?"
"The government owns you, why do you think your name is in all capital letters in your social, license, birth certificate, tombstone?"
"Why wasn't JP Morgan on the Titanic?"
"The federal reserve was made for the old money"


What do you do?

It's not worth arguing or trying to convince anyone differently than what they already "believe" to be true. Facts mean as little to tin foil hats as they do to progressive liberals...by self imposed rule, I do not get into debates with either.

With that said, I'm also a fence sitter. I don't write anything off because it sounds crazy, there are a lot of unbelievable and crazy things that have happened in the past so I'd be just as close minded if I immediately dismissed it.
