just wanna say that I've been called a conspiracy theorist for the past years, especially since 2020.
now i am proud of being called a conspiracy theorist. it's like im a prophet or a fortune teller LOL
i can't get tired of telling people who called me conspiracy theorist "i told you so"


the truth is, anyone with a functioning brain and ability to logically think and critically analyze evidences gathered from multiple independent sources could tell what we were presented and told were nothing but lies. But most people don't want to be that kid pointing out the king's naked in The Emperor's New Clothes because they were conditioned to behave like that. The root of the problems we face today is education and culture. I can attest to that as I grew up and was exposed to a different education system up until 6th grade, and what I see in our education system today remind me a lot of the education system that encourages kids to obey and not critically think. Anyone who dared to speak differently or question authority were shamed and bullied through name-calling and outcasting, even when s (labeling terms like "conspiracy theorists" "white supremacists" "bigots" etc and cancel culture, see the similarities here?)

It's kind of like religion. Funny thing is a lot of the "conservatives" upset about the "conspiracies" about Jan 6th and other things, that they are now crowing about being right about, are also quick to demonize people who don't believe in religion, and bully people for not believing.

I, personally, have never seen any conservative or liberal bully anyone for having different religious or non-religious beliefs. I have a lot of friends of many different beliefs, ethnicities, sexual orientation, etc. We are still great friends.

There are different forms of bullying. Some may not think they are doing it. I have many friends that dont care, but have a few that say they dont care, but you can tell it bothers than if it ever comes up in conversation and they question why, or try to make you "understand" why you should believe what they do.

Religion is a lot like the topic of oil. Everyone has their opinions as to which one is best or worst. Personally, I'm agnostic and my favorite line is, "I don't know and neither do you". I really couldn't care any less what religion someone is as long as what you believe doesn't effect anyone else in a negative way

I'm not trying to change the topic, just pointing out some of the hypocrisy when they cry about bullying.

I don’t know your personal experiences. Sounds like it could be bullying, or just old fashioned debating. I wasn’t there so I can’t say.

I don’t mind discussing or debating any topic. However, I don’t believe in getting upset and trying to jam beliefs down someone’s throat. As long as they don’t do that to me it’s all good.

It's more than just a debate to some, they take it personal and, they may not realize it, but trying to shame someone for not believing a certain way is a form of bullying. And I know I'm just a guilty of it at times on certain topics.

Oh yes, shaming is not cool.

I don’t understand how someone cannot be a conspiracy theorist. People have been deceiving
lying, deceiving, conspiring, to get their way since the beginning of time. No adults can honestly say they have never been deceived.

China virus
Hunter‘s laptop
Russia Russia Russia
Religion


Humans are involved, there are lies and deceptions in all of those for personal gain.

Of course, there is fact vs fiction. Truth vs falsehood. So, not everything is a deception or lie.

I do believe in GOD and Jesus, but I didn’t for a long time. Maybe another time or place.
Im going to go on my back porch with a double oak bourbon and smoke a warfighter cigar.

The very best line I have every heard I got from my son. After someone has told a big long story I say “ I know, but who ?”
Then they go on to tell it again explaining the people, then I say, “ No, No, WHO asked YOU?”

People that don't know how to use their brains is the only thing I can come up with. The average citizen of every country on this planet just want to be left alone so they can live the best life they can. Governments are the ones that create the problems this world sees. To quote a line from a Tom Macdonald song "I'm just a small town boy with big American dreams"

No worries. We're all humans and have our own opinions and beliefs which is what it's all about. I personally think everyone at some point in their/our/my existence has been hypocritical. Some more so than other's.

That’s true. Everyone’s different. Nobody had the same likes, dislikes, or opinions about everything. Politics, religion, food, drinks, tv shows, etc etc. gotta accept other people for who they are, as long as they aren’t trying to fundamentally change, or harm me and mine, it’s all good

I agree but that's why I get pissed off. We do have a certain group of people that are trying to fundamentally change literally everything
