    It really doesn’t matter. You are promoting unfounded conspiratorial thinking and that needs to be pushed back on. Its a cultural disease to do so, and its even worse to promote it. Develop some rigor to your thinking instead of the slop you’ve asked people to “do their own research on” here.

        Saying someone is pretending to have a degree or is pretending to be educated seems to be a consistent method of personal attack for you. It must be tough, going around with an inferiority complex. And yes, some of us are highly educated, but few are as fortunate as I am, where I do get to dedicate my time to contributing intellectually. But at least you recognize the importance of education and critical thinking, even if you yourself don’t seem to know how to apply it.

        Conspiracies, or thinking born of such; are enemies of reason and the mind. A sloven, toxic habit of the brain; that must be rooted out where it is found.

          You’re a snob and I’m 99% sure I hit multiple nerves. So yes, feels like tom about to play a rhapsody 🥸.

          You keep pretending you’re special and conspiracys don’t exist, I’m gonna change a light bulb and refresh my MLK assassination history.

            It’s pretty clear whose nerves are hit right here. And if you can’t handle people pushing back on your lazy thinking, don’t put it in the commons.

                  What emotion? What intellect? You’re a master debator lol. Your argument is circularly arguing conspiracies are bad mmmkay. Dropout.

                    What emotion

                    You the one out here promoting conspiracy theory without evidence then telling people to “do their own reading”. You determine truth by how it makes you feel, emotionally, rather than based on what we have evidence for or a lack of evidence for. That’s what children and under-developed adults do.

                    Its also why we’re here; its why I drug you down deep into the thread where people will have to click through multiple threads to see whats going on: most wont bother.

                    Conspiratorial thinking is an emotional response to uncertainty. We as people don’t like living with not knowing; we’re not wired for it. We’d rather an emotionally pleasurable story rather than uncertainty.

                    But its really just laziness. There is no actual excuse for it.

              Gross. No. Certain phrases are popular in certain communities. This guy has used a couple common on the chans. He may not be a btard but his writing style smells like it.
