    Anyone that calls you/anyone a "conspiracy theorist" is (1) in denial, (2) trying to use mind control on you by making you believe conspiracies don't exist, when in fact, conspiracies have always existed and exist now.

    • @JH-lo9ut
      @JH-lo9ut ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, conspiracies exist.
      This does not mean every conspiracy theory is valid. In fact, most of them don't even come close to prove what they claim. Instead they, as ideas or memes or theories, are constructed in a way so that they can't be disproven. Any evidence presented in favor of the theory is vague enough to resemble hard fact, but is never conclusive enough to rule out other explainations.
      Any evidence presented against the conspiracy theory is, by the conspiracy believer, disregarded as irrelevant, fabricated or even a part of the conspiracy itself.
      The burden of proof must lie with those who present the theory. This is a logical principle recognised by science, philosophy and law. But it is not recognised or practiced by what we call "conspiracy theorists", who will offer wild and strange claims, and then demand of their critics that they should be the ones to disproof those claims.
      Well, it turns out that it is fairly easy to fabricated claims that cannot be disproven. This does not equal truth, but it doesn't matter: A lot of people will fall into this logical spring-trap.
      Once a person gets into the mindset where they believe in a conspiracy so much that their overall view of reality gets distorted, the conspiracy theorist start to develop something like a severe mental illness.
      This pattern of behavior has been observed and objectively described again and again. By psychologist, by historians, journalists and by family members.
      This is why it is relevant to talk about something like conspiracy theories. It is a type of paranoia, capable of destroying lives and whole societies.
      It is not the same thing as a methodical pursuit of truth.

      @optimalpi999 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@JH-lo9ut Close; however, the rub is that by the time “the critic” discovers the truth (if ever) the result is done. Example: authorities said the air at the WTC site after 9/11 was safe to breathe. Later, truth was that it was toxic. I say: conspiracy to lie. Fast forward to today…air in East Palestine is safe to breathe. I say conspiracy to lie. Who wants to volunteer and prove me wrong?
      There are endless conspiracies and some, most will never be proven true or false…so… it requires discernment to decide. That is wisdom not just facts and logic.

    Number one German identity predates the modern German state created under Bismarck in 1871. Secondly Jews were targeted because in Germany, just like in America today, they were an extremely influential and wealthy group. The more political actives ones were disproportionately involved in the pushing of Cosmopolitan political and cultural values upon the German masses, who were quite naturally offended by this. My own great grandmother was an Italian Jew who “solved” the anti-Semitic problem in her own life by assimilating totally to the society around her, she married my Anglo-Protestant great grandfather.
