Why do some people believe conspiracy theories? It’s not just who or what they know. It’s a matter of intellectual character.
Meet Oliver. Like many of his friends, Oliver thinks he is an expert on 9/11. He spends much of his spare time looking at conspiracist websites and his research has convinced him that the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, DC, of 11 September 2001 were an inside job. The aircraft impacts and resulting fires couldn’t have caused the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center to collapse. The only viable explanation, he maintains, is that government agents planted explosives in advance. He realises, of course, that the government blames Al-Qaeda for 9/11 but his predictable response is pure Mandy Rice-Davies: they would say that, wouldn’t they?
Polling evidence suggests that Oliver’s views about 9/11 are by no means unusual. Indeed, peculiar theories about all manner of things are now widespread. There are conspiracy theories about the spread of AIDS, the 1969 Moon landings, UFOs, and the assassination of JFK. Sometimes, conspiracy theories turn out to be right – Watergate really was a conspiracy – but mostly they are bunkum. They are in fact vivid illustrations of a striking truth about human beings: however intelligent and knowledgeable we might be in other ways, many of us still believe the strangest things. You can find people who believe they were abducted by aliens, that the Holocaust never happened, and that cancer can be cured by positive thinking. A 2009 Harris Poll found that between one‑fifth and one‑quarter of Americans believe in reincarnation, astrology and the existence of witches. You name it, and there is probably someone out there who believes it.
You realise, of course, that Oliver’s theory about 9/11 has little going for it, and this might make you wonder why he believes it. The question ‘Why does Oliver believe that 9/11 was an inside job?’ is just a version of a more general question posed by the US skeptic Michael Shermer: why do people believe weird things? The weirder the belief, the stranger it seems that someone can have it. Asking why people believe weird things isn’t like asking why they believe it’s raining as they look out of the window and see the rain pouring down. It’s obvious why people believe it’s raining when they have compelling evidence, but it’s far from obvious why Oliver believes that 9/11 was an inside job when he has access to compelling evidence that it wasn’t an inside job.

i agree completely !!
he and i are both in the same boat. we are both old men with bad health problems, and we both ended up on welfare disability….
it happens to good people, the same way it happens to bad people.
the only difference between he and i is that he hates pelosi and democrats, when they are the ones who make sure he gets his monthly benefits.
He praises trump and republicans, when they are the ones who would cut his benefits off and he would starve and couldnt pay rent.
He hates blacks and mexicans because he says theyre lazy and they are a burden to taxpayers
But he is also a burden to taxpayers. While he plays around on the computer, fixating on completely irrelevant trivialities, hardworking american taxpayers are footing his bills.
Me?…. Im more than happy to admit my situation, and i am grateful to the liberals for supplying me with my monthly benefits.
I dont judge people for being broke…..
I simply refuse to ignore hypocritical stances

Ironically it was Trump who pushed public bailouts for workers (although I'm sure he did it to appease his supporters as all politicians do).
>He hates blacks and mexicans because he says theyre lazy and they are a burden to taxpayers
I don't think JKI hates them, he hates the way they behave and the fact many of them bring more woes and burden to average citizens (which is a fact no matter how 'politically incorrect' it may be).

even after he COMPLETELY FLIPPED OUT (again) and LOST CONTROL (again) and told me that heHATES MEjust because i tried to put an extra $1,000 in his pocket, i still admired him.
but at that point, i began to notice the hypocrisy of someone on welfare who hates the democrats who gave it to him

Mexicans are not lazy, the fact is there are too many here already and they're changing our culture and replacing us in every way (jobs, politics, food, music, etc). Many Mexicans actually hate negros too, that is also an ironic fact (not that it's a bad thing just not talked about). And for the leftie commie retards burning down those churches? Mexicans are hardcore Catholics so they are going to look at these commies as parasites too!

I - who hate Soros and his deliberate destabilization agenda against Europe and America - am actually friends with a Mexican who knows a whole lot about what is going on, very smart hard working man. Not all Mexicans are bad people, but many coming through the borders are very bad (gangbangers, cartels, druggies and their dealers, welfare leeches, terrorists & commie subversives who engage in espionage and sedition, etc). Ironically a lot of good Mexicans know all about it and are shocked that there are commies who desire this for America.

I see Johnny is still in here trying to define others and call them names, saying they are the hateful ones.
It's pathetic really; and everyone can see through these childish games that leftards play. Johnny is obviously filled with hatred and enjoys socialism. He hates America, humans and works actively to destroy anything anyone else wants to do. He is part of the "Cancel Culture", and his kind will destroy themselves far faster than any supposed "enemy" they can create in their own minds ever could.

Killcen was right.
This is a global war, and China is behind it. They and Russia know the West's weakness for lefty outrage, calling everyone racists, misogynists, being at each other's throats. They will come in and mop up when it is over. It already will be if Biden wins. The tech companies are in bed with China and want to impose surveillance capitalism on the world with Chinese-style total centralized control. The intelligence agencies are working with these central bankers mainstream media, and other types, like always, to bring about even more control. This "unrest" is planned. Johnny should be bowing down to Trump. He is the only one standing in their way. Why do you think they have brought every power to bear upon his presidency? It's a hitch in their giddyup! They want to hurry and get back to business as usual. They are behind in their plans, and Biden gets them decades out ahead. Johnny is just too stupid to see he is a pawn and plays the part they want him to play. I have little time for his kind any more. I am growing up. If you want to be treated like an adult you had better act like one. But a Biden government would treat us ALL like children! Then Johnny would be happy. He cannot take care of himself, you see. He wants Big Granny Government to hold his hand and keep him safe, even from his own impulses. And he wants us all to pay for the privilege of his Granny beating the hell out of all of us.
With Biden we'll all be sayingI Can't Breathebecause it will become mandated to breathe your own carbon dioxide.
Meanwhile, I have literally not had to wear a mask yet, and it is "mandated" everywhere I go, and I go a lot of places, including hospitals and government offices. It is how you carry yourself, and whether or not you believe you have freedom to breathe the air or not, or whether someone can give you permission to breathe the air without filtering it. Yes, the mask is a symbol too. It is a symbol of conformity. It is scientifically proven to not have value whatsoever in many of the settings where it is mandated. I won't get into an argument about this with anyone because I don't have to.You have no right to tell me what to do, period. End of story.If the mask was effective you would not need me to wear one. You'd already be protected. This is to try to make everyone think that everyone else is the enemy. Even COVID is not the enemy. Nothing is. This does not have to be a war.

This is literally how people like you think, which is what keeps people like us down, which is where you obviously want everyone to be.
The reason I don't waste my time defending myself against your lying attacks is not only because no one listens to an idiot like you anyway, but because I told you, I see the writing on the wall, and I am creating a space for myself in the new economy. Your kind will not survive, and that is probably ok. You don't want anyone to. So, later… I've got better things to do with my time than help you wake up. Maybe Killcen is still willing to entertain your hatred and button-pushing. I am not.

DEPITE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WATCHING LIFE-SAVING DOCTORS TELL THE TRUTH, ANTI-HEALTH PRO-VACCINE BIG TECH MONOPOLIES BAN VIDEO FEEDS!
Twitter continued to crack down on anyone sharing the viral video of a group of doctors touting hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) as a Covid-19 “cure” Tuesday, removing a tweet containing a link to the video by Breitbart News and locking the outlet’s account.
“Footage of the livestream on Periscope, Twitter’s livestreaming platform, had generated 1 million views before being removed by the site.” Breitbart noted.
The outlet added that “Footage on Facebook had accumulated over 17 million views within 8 hours and had 185,000 concurrent viewers at the time it was streamed.”
“On YouTube, a clip from the event received 80,000 views before being removed by the platform for ‘violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.'” the report added.
Breitbart then found that its Twitter account had been “limited” as a punishment for “violating the policy on spreading misleading an potentially harmful information related to COVID-19”:
That's right, they are now attacking DOCTORS who have cured coronavirus! Makes you wonder why they are pushing these toxic vaccines so hard….
