re: How should you talk to friends and relatives who believe conspiracy theories?

"I'm sorry that I was so close-minded and shut down your speech every time you attempted to ask thought-provoking and valid questions and further yet, resorted to attacks on your character with insults. In hindsight, I was being an arse and a stupid NPC who just followed the path of least resistance to go along with the mainstream crowd - to be quite frank, I've lost the ability to think critically and have become rather lazy.

It just felt 'good' to jump on the bandwagon because I felt like I belonged and simply succumbed to my carnal tribalistic tendencies and was making a difference by standing in the streets kicking around the bible and mocking abortion procedures in public and labeling anyone who questioned the mainstream narrative as a complete loon. Now I realize my folly and how crazy I've become.

I realize that it's okay to ask questions because that is how we arrive at the truth. How can we get more people to turn towards the light and wake up from the slumber that is plaguing our current society?

I was blind but now I see. Also, Alex Jones and David Icke have been right all along for the most part."
