re: Let’s address the elephant in the room: the conspiracy folks

I agree, I don't think this was a false flag or a Manchurian Candidate situation. This is just a deeply disturbed psycho who should have been locked away a few years ago. I'm guessing his DNA is corrupted. Who is his father? They are conveniently leaving him out. I bet a thousand bucks he is a psycho as well.

I don’t understand how anyone who lived through the pandemic still doubts the government’s abilities to influence MASSIVE social and economic changes against the will of their constituents via propaganda.
It’s one thing to criticize individual conspiracies by picking apart the portions that just don’t hold up to intense scrutiny or are based on misunderstandings. However, I do not understand people who, in 2022, assume that people who subscribe to “conspiracy theories” are somehow insane, dumb, or otherwise “less than”. We have just experienced one of the most incredible government over-reactions in history, resulting in such unthinkable outcomes as jailing pastors for holding church services, preventing children from leaving their homes, banning funeral attendance, and locking nursing home patients in their rooms so they could not see their relatives all while Covid positive patients were forcibly admitted to those same nursing homes. We also have political protestors being held without bail, charge, and access to attorneys; having exculpatory evidence suppressed; having their bank accounts frozen; etc. This is some seriously authoritarian dystopian stuff, and it’s happening now in the open.
We saw these things happen, and they are insane. Before you dismiss a conspiracy off-hand, ask yourself if it’s really MORE insane than what we are witnessing? While a lot of conspiracies are false, a lot of them are later proven true. We have lived through one of the greatest conspiracies in human history, so very few conspiracies really can compare in sheer unbelievability.

It is funny that many right wingers claim the government is full of complete incompetent buffoons, but they also perfectly orchestrate this vast complex conspiracies. It’s like which one is it?

But they use facial recognition to track down everyone that took a tour 1/6…yeah. And hold indefinitely without bail. Like Putin said, political prisoners.
And they’re perusing Social Media to use the “Patriot Act” against more Americans.

It’s almost like government agencies can be competent when they want to be, but hide behind incompetence when they’re not serving the interests of their constituents.

Something about the Boston Marathon Bombing never rang true for me. The brothers accused didn't do it.

Well, this a retro-conspiracy theory, but I’ll indulge it. What “doesn’t ring true” for you?

You mean like that Jan. 6 uprising that no one cares about except the democrats. It’s so obvious what side the FBI/CIA are on they are part of that thing called a swamp. All the garbage that have on the Clintons, Biden’s, etc but let’s go after those Jan 6th terrorists and forget all those people burning down businesses and cities.

Was the guy in the Viking hat a CIA operative? Or a Q anon believing moron? Honest opinion?

I don't think there is a conspiracy here but its hard not to think something is going on when the story of what happened as far as police operations in that time before they entered the school has changed so many damn times. Its at the point now that I wonder if they have put so many different stories out there to simply confuse the public.

it’s funny that many left wingers now insist we must trust the government at their word, because they know best for us.

This. It usually seems like the perp is known or had prior contact with some alphabet agency

Many left wingers are distrustful of the government as well. You think they like the government legislating marijuana laws, abortion regulation, legislating gay marriage laws? Etc

so you and the left wingers only trust the government when they are implementing laws that you agree with? is that what you’re saying?
Posted on 5/28/22 at 5:05 pm to Klark Kent
People on the right and left both do it
