Skeptic Project

They think that they have discovered some secret hidden knowledge that only they have the ability to Google.

Well, give me your biggest reason?

Because I have a chip on my shoulder for being tricked into believing that bullshit.

Because when you get over conspiracy theories you realize how much of a idiot you were. Then you come to the fact that you will never be able to get those 2 years back.

What I hate most is that they are so sure they are being scientific and rational and yet they refuse to see they are the exact opposite.

At least with Creationists you can get them to admit their beliefs are based on irrationality (faith)

Their arrogance when they claim they are the only ones capable of critical thinking.

Don't you "get it" Dr. Peter Joseph Merola is a HERO, along with Jacque Fresco and Roxanne Meadows!

"Because when you get over conspiracy theories you realize how much of a idiot you were. Then you come to the fact that you will never be able to get those 2 years back."

I think this is the reason its so hard for many to break away from those beliefs, you said you wasted 2 years, well what about 10, 20 or 30. In fact I think the longer you go believing it the more paranoid you get, look at William cooper at the end of his life.

My biggest beef is with CT's is I would hate to see people manipulated into another Nazi state. I know its a worse case scenario but imagine if things got really bad and some politician decided to use the Freemasons as a scape goat, eventually sending them to gas chambers and such just like Hitler and the Jews. The public in my opinion is pretty stupid sometimes and under the correct conditions I fear CT's could cause another scenario like this. The other thing I don't like is CT often play at religious beliefs, I hate to use the word irrational but when you custom fit a CT to conform to a person's "irrational" religious beliefs people within that belief system tend to not notice the lack of real evidence supporting the theory because it fits with a religious prophecy.

I have to give Zeitgeist some credit for taking popular CTs which one way or another based themselves in some sort of religious belief and tailored them to an atheistic point of view. My Atheist friend always thought religions were a scam, and when he saw Zeitgeist he thought he found his proof.

"I know its a worse case scenario but imagine if things got really bad and some politician decided to use the Freemasons as a scape goat, eventually sending them to gas chambers and such just like Hitler and the Jews."
They would go after Jews too; but cover it up by say they are not killing Jews. They are killing Zionists.

I actually wrote a background/outline for a science fiction story I was planning, set in America of the future after a right-wing regime pushing CTs has taken over the country. In the background story, a politician modeled loosely on Rand Paul uses CT ideology to break the two-party system and becomes president and eventually dictator. Along the way he's helped by an Alex Jones type who gets the whole country believing in the Illuminati and the New World Order.

The story itself would have taken place years later, where a young historian discovers evidence in a long-buried archive that 9/11 was actually done by Al Qaeda. Eventually he's persecuted for his non-CT beliefs that threaten the state.

I never actually got around to writing the story...

No, but in the back story there was a nuclear terrorist attack on the Superbowl and the CT politicians successfully blamed it on the Illuminati and the two-party political system.

I don't see CT's as most of you do, call me apathetic. I don't have much animosity at all. To me, they are just more or less paranoid cooks with wild imaginations and mostly harmless.

My interest in CT's has always been in their stories and twisted logic. To me, I find it pure entertainment. Which is why I came to this site, because I think the debunking of the CT's, and the CT's themselves make up for fascinating stories.

Especially when you're a writer, it's incredible to delve into so many minds and see how people think on certain levels and on different subjects/situations/ideology. To me, CT's and Skeptics going back and forth is like Porn for a writer such as myself.

And reading some of Muertos's blogs as well as his posts, it's been a real treat. Though I don't share his animosity for CT's, I love his passion for what he does, and as a fellow writer it's great stuff.

On to this. I hope most of this was sarcastic, in terms of fear of something like this actually happening. Conspiracy theorists in America, and ideologues alike cut in the mold of the Alex Jones' and so on would fall under Anarchism, not Statism. Worst case scenario, it would still be catastrophic, but not comparable to the Nazi's. It would be more of a deteriorated wasteland without rules, as oppose to something imperial.

I've never stated my full political or economic views, just very few. You should try being more creative when making assumptions. Tell us how you really feel.

I don't need to be creative with a silly ass anarchist.

Shut the fuck up Omni.

Go cry about your dad, spoiled twerp.
