I think it is funny, cospiracy nuts allways claim to have and open mind, but they tend to be increadibly close minded when talking about facts.
Back on r/conspiracy it was always interesting how many of them were also okay with Nazis and sources like The Daily Stormer, it was no surprise when that sub basically became the second r/the_donald.
I honestly feel that was some sort of psyop…. That sub changed so quick to being basically an altright cesspool. Many “conspiracy” or related subs did that around the same time in fact. This seems like… a conspiracy.
I mean if you believe the Ruzzian election interference angle, because that view on the 2016 election has shown evidence of being so much more than just Ruzzia participating, you would absolutely see that it was basically a psyop, they flooded Reddit, and the rest of social media, with conspiracies, disinformation, and propaganda, and we've been all fucked up ever since, now I and many Americans have family we can't even talk to because they've lost their fucking minds and want Donald Trump to become America's dictator.
It was definitely a conspiracy, and a psyop, yet all of the conspiracy theorists in their blind biases will hold their ears and close their eyes and blame Killery Clinton and the Jews for it.
I wish they could attach themselves to a good conspiracy theory like this one.
That's just a False-Flag Narrative spread by the Left to obscure the Truth
Conspiracy nuts are verifiably one of the easiest groups to manipulate. You convince them you are one of them and you can make them do/believe anything you want. Just say it with a straight face and they'll make it a core belief they'll die for.
Anyone good at guarding themselves against people trying to fuck with people doesn't become a conspiracy theorist in the first place.
Conspiracy theorists claim that, but really they simply take the position "government bad" and lazily cease any further critical thinking. Which is why it's easy to rile them up and feed them into the alt right pipeline.
