I made a thread about a Netflix series today actually called The Social Dilemma, I think maybe that might begin to answer some of why people are getting caught up in conspiracies like this

It's honestly worrying how prevalent such trains of thoughts are becoming. Facts are fact, whether they are good or bad is irrelevant, living in a dream world won't fix what's wrong. |

It's conspiracy nonsense of course (... probably ...) but it's not inherently illogical. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 14-09-2020 at 01:12 PM. |

Well you also have to remember that most of these theories are US-born and people in the US have a habit of forgetting that most of the world exists.

People are placing their feelings on the same absolute pedestal as facts to the point they feel like they can reject them if they don't like it. Common sense is taking a leave of absence and people's egos are inflating in the process. If a validated expert tells me something, I will listen whether or not I like what I'm hearing, to reject such things because it's inconvenient is arrogant. |

True enough, also it seems even less likely for the US government to be involved considering how Trump has handled it and back tracked on it too, in fact he was almost acting like he thought it was a hoax himself at the beginning

It makes for some great fiction to be fair but I honestly just don't think the world is complex enough for any of it to be true. It would require a level of secrecy and... well... competence that I just don't think actually exists. It feels much closer to reality to say "Oh god they just genuinely have no idea what they're doing, do they". |

You know my methods

Whenever a theory, for it to be true, relies on lots of people not sharing a secret
you know its BS |

There’s a bus just driven past me leaving a bus stop ... older people near the front all wearing masks .. Teenagers at the back of the bus - masks on but under their chins or hanging on one ear .. Therein lies the problem Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Well it’s gonna be strange for anyone on the autism spectrum as they ‘tend’ to focus their eyes on other people’s mouths ( avoiding eye contact ) when interacting with them .. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
