What Makes Conspiracy Theories Popular?
#26
RE: What Makes Conspiracy Theories Popular?
Actually, we have some of these people on board off and on. Posting the newest from lala land and then dissappearing again.

I guess people believing in conspiracy theories are borderline paranoid. Everything has to have a deeper meaning and that deeper meaning is in itself threatening. They also don't bother with facts. The earlier mentioned anti jewish sentiment is a pretty good example. There are 13 million jews spread across the whole wide world.

But the crazier the theories are the more damaging they are to some real issues. The 9/11 truthers did a real disservice to everyone being opposed to their civil liberties chipped away in the name of fighting terrorism. It's easy to say, if one concern is crazy then the other one has to be crazy too.
