Did Hillary Clinton mastermind a global child-trafficking ring from a Washington pizzeria? No. THEN WHY DO SO MANY IDIOTS BELIEVE IT?
Conspiracy theories are far from a new phenomenon. They have been a constant hum in the background for at least the past 100 years, says Prof Joe Uscinski, author of American Conspiracy Theories.
"Everybody believes in at least one and probably a few," he says. "And the reason is simple: there is an infinite number of conspiracy theories out there. If we were to poll on all of them, everybody is going to check a few boxes."
This finding isn't peculiar to the US. In 2015, University of Cambridge research found most Britons ticked a box when presented with a list of just five theories. These ranged from the existence of a secret group controlling world events, to contact with aliens.
Also, Killcen's delusional belief in his imaginary 'jesus' has brainwashed him into always thinking everything is a sign that the world is about to end, plus he's completely insane.
This suggests that, contrary to popular belief, the typical conspiracy theorist is not a middle-aged man living in his mother's basement sporting a tinfoil hat.
"When you actually look at the demographic data, belief in conspiracies cuts across social class, it cuts across gender and it cuts across age," Prof Chris French, a psychologist at Goldsmith's, University of London, says. Equally, whether you're on the left or the right, you're just as likely to see plots against you.
"The two sides are equal in terms of conspiracy thinking," Prof Uscinski says, of research in the US.
"People who believe that Bush blew up the Twin Towers were mostly Democrats, people who thought that Obama faked his own birth certificate were mostly Republicans - but it was about even numbers within each party. And Killcen is a lunatic."
To understand why we are so drawn to the notion of shadowy forces controlling political events, we need to think about the psychology behind conspiracy theories.
"We are very good at recognising patterns and regularities. But sometimes we overplay that - we think we see meaning and significance when it isn't really there," Prof French says.
"We also assume that when something happens, it happens because someone or something made it happen for a reason. And Killcen needs psychiatric meds."
Essentially, we see some coincidences around big events and we then make up a story out of them.
That story becomes a conspiracy theory because it contains "goodies" and "baddies" - the latter being responsible for all the things we don't like. Blaming politicians
In many ways, this is just like everyday politics.
We often blame politicians for bad events, even when those events are beyond their control, says Prof Larry Bartels, a political scientist at Vanderbilt University.
"People will blindly reward or punish the government for good or bad times without really having any clear understanding of whether or how the government's policies have contributed to those outcomes," he says.
Let me know the minute you are personally involved in a conspiracy, first hand, in real life.
Until that day arises, the only thing you know is what you have read or heard.
TRANSLATION: you don't know Jack Shit, and it's really more about you patting yourself on the back and trying to convince other people that 'you know something they don't know' then it is about you having any real first-hand knowledge whatsoever.
Alexander Taylor
Yes….
I've always been terrified by sexless marshmallows who play video games and watch anime……
But then again, who isn't?
Chase Thomas
I'm also terrified of delusional paranoid people who live their lives in tree stumps and deny themselves happiness out of fear of an imaginary Doomsday that never comes……
how 'intimidating'
Blake Wood
Whew, you really got me, buddy. Absolutely no projection from you. Wink wink.
And until the day that you were personally involved in Watergate, or the JFK assassination, or the babington plot, or Pearl harbor, or 9/11, or the moon landing, or any other hand me down wives tale about conspiracies………
You'll simply be repeating the same parroted copycat version of the redundant repetitive boring hackneyed tired old worn-out imitation of a satire of a parody of somebody else's bullshit national enquirer nonsense rumor…….
Just a friendly reminder that johnny neptune is an fbi informant and a government stooge. His denial of conspiracy theories is most likely because of this fact. Anyone reading this thread should keep this in mind.
Because he's was suppose to Make America Great Again on what planet? when ?why?and How? We all want to know…
Eli Davis
OP HERE….. PAY ATTENTION, PLEASE:
I am NOT saying that there is no such thing as government cover-ups, secret agendas, hidden plots, clandestine operations, public misdirection, propaganda, or nefarious subversion……
Of course that shit exists…. OF COURSE…..
For example, only an idiot would think the JFK assassination has been thoroughly explained to the public….
HOWEVER…. only a complete fucking moron would expect the government to thoroughly explain the JFK assassination to the public…
Because that's not the way they operate……
That's simply not the way they do things….
For example: anybody with a brain stem can put two and two together and realize that the 9/11 attacks were very sketchy, with too many loose ends that didn't make sense, and a lot of scientific data that would clearly prove that there's much more to the story than they have told us…
(like Bin Laden's CIA Mujihadeen connection)
HOWEVER… Only a stupid piece of shit would actually think that the department of defense and United States government is going to explain the truth about the 9/11 attacks to the public.
AGAIN: that's not the way they do things.
I've never thought the term 'conspiracy' really described the 9/11 attacks, because that event was simply business as usual for those people.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ here's the problem: These days, everybody and their grandmother have become 'experts' on conspiracies……….
and WE ARE NOT EXPERTS
Christopher Wilson
Hey everyones just p.s. making sure you know 100% sure nothing you think happened, happened. This has been your globalist damage controll shill disinfo agent -OP
Andrew Jenkins
He's not just a shill, he's an e-celeb fbi informant.
Josiah Cooper
Because people in power lie constantly and have done so since the very beginning of civilization.
Brayden Hernandez
……says the powerless liar
Jose Powell
when you grow up perhaps you'll realize
EVERYBODY CONTINUALLY LIES
Noah Clark
Why does Johnny glow in the dark? Is this part of parole? Is it his jewishness? Does he have sociopathic leanings and desire the recognition that policemen receive for a job well done? Why?
Michael Lee
It is only his mucus that glows in the dark. If you ask politely he might post a closeup pic of the mucus in his hand. My pic is from aways away..
Conspiracy theorists may sound silly at times. Remember our hero Kenji that warned us about the feminists and their quest for world domination and we thought he was high on drugs or somethings and dismissed him. Well, what do we know today about the feminists and their quest for world domination?
Joseph Scott
Dear Killcen………..
Elvis was a good fearing Christian
Austin Powell
Is he even an FBI shill? He seem more like an unhinged faggot with nothing to do all day.
Ryan Butler
until he realized Jesus never existed
Charles Fisher
He admitted it himself in the thread posted in that image.
actually this is your thread and you're making the claim that it isn't real, feel free to make a rational explanation anytime as to know it's actually fake
Tyler Clark
I never made that claim.
and it's not 'my' thread….. it's everybody's thread.
all I did was copy and paste somebody else's article
Owen Young
so basically you're a nutless faggot
Joseph Lee
sir, that was needlessly hurtful
Cooper Collins
I just scheduled a therapy appointment to help me get past the emotional damage you inflicted upon me bore
Blake Moore
Because its cheaper to fake a moon landing than it is to complete one.
David Thompson
explain FAA flight long showing Bill & Hillary flying the Lolita express Epstein's flying child brothel equipped with beds and child sex slaves
over 20 times
Daniel Moore
What is this shit thread sliding?
Blake Rogers
I don't have those 'flight logs'
if you have them, show them and not some bullshit off the internet.
show me the actual hard copy flight logs
Caleb Bailey
...
Dominic Flores
Remember when people thought it was nuts to believe that the USA would engineer an attack on itself in order to justify an invasion of Cuba?
Zachary Ross
It is doing a terrific job at sliding all Zig Forums articles off of the front page lol
Connor Diaz
conspiracies happen routinely
Christopher Rivera
ROFL the hard copies why don't you go get them bitch, scans of the hard copies are not enough? You want the originals mailed to you
ask for much nigger?
Matthew Jones
Because corruption does exist and people do lie.
Because governments do tend to cover things up.
Because human nature can be cruel.
Because actions have consequences.
Because there is negativity in the world.
But most of all, because many conspiracies of the past have been proven correct.
just google Clinton FAA Lolita express it was all over the fucking news just not the mainstream media democrat controlled machine
Adam Cox
their matter of public record
Noah Harris
yea just a few days ago we had a conspiracy theory that as mass shooting was about to be staged, and boom.. it happened
we had a conspiracy theory that Jessie Smollett staged his attack to get kamaila Harris and cory bookers anti lynching bill that was tabled passed and boom 100% true again
why because their right a lot of the time often never disproved and usually based on evidence of some kind
Brandon Brooks
Both were right. Flight 93 was intended to crash into WTC #7, but it was shot down due to normal FAA/NORAD procedures. WTC #7 was demolished, went down exactly the same way the other two towers did - no plane hitting it either. The other two towers showed traces of nano-thermite as well, which explains how they imploded so well (jet fuel couldn't do that, it needed high grade explosives). Not to mention all the other shit exposed: no plane hitting the Pentagon (caught on camera), FBI claimed to somehow find passports in mint condition among TONS of rubble within an hour, Patriot Act over 800 pages all ready to sign and pass that very week, all that other crap.
