@RickiTarr MOAR! WE NEED MOAR RANTY RANTS! Seriously, this is great - unfortunately, I think the take-away from this will some people will start marketing their products differently - instead of "Live like a Neanderthal!" they will now be titled "Live like a *SMART* Neanderthal!" It's like people following the Paleo diet - supposedly, proponents of the diet *knew* what humans ate over 10,000 years ago. 5 comments
@RickiTarr Yes, one of the attractions of conspiracy theories is 'being in the know' and differentiating yourself from other people. I have to admit, I can kind of understand the appeal and mechanism behind it - you found out something and share it with others becoming a Prometheus like figure that you were able to find this special information.  @Badger_AF I think we've all fallen prey to it to some extent, I know I have. I think we want the answers to be simple, but they're not. Other than rich people needing to pay their taxes, that is a simple way to make the world better lol @RickiTarr @Badger_AF I always felt conspiracy theories is a kind of expression that something isn’t right. People feel it but lack ways to express and understand it. So they fall prey to stuff like “it’s the Jews!” or “it’s cultural Marxism!” We all feel that something is wrong and we’re not supposed to be living like this, spending our energy, bodies, and mind to make some rich asshole richer while they pay us crumbs. @alfa_vuk @Badger_AF It's just other people realize this too, people who don't have humanity's best interests at heart, so it's easy for them to say, The problem with society is Homosexuals and Immigrants and if we get rid of that problem everything will be fine. Because they don't want people to look too closely at the actual problems, like you said, wealth inequality. |
