If you simply accept conclusions without doing your own investigation into it, then you have never "critically thought about it." You can come to agree with the accepted mainstream narrative while still going through the evidence to confirm it for yourself.
That's why they hate people "asking questions." Because it reveals they never actually did think about these things, they just swallowed what they were told and let it go on from there. Which in a lot of cases is fine. You don't have time to delve into every fucking wild story and event out there. But then, if you don't do so maybe don't fucking involve yourself in discussions surrounding it or try to "debunk" people spouting wild shit against it.
"Conspiracy theorists" as they are rarely have critically thought about what they are espousing, they are just parroting what some talking head told them and it fed into their paranoia, contrarianism, and hatred of the government. That should make it super fucking easy to prove them wrong, but, as they people did the same damn thing, they end up getting rolled by them.
Double so because the so called "conspiracy theorists" usually have a point about something being fucky or an outright lie with a story, even if their details get wild.
This is nonsense. Look at the replies I got in this thread. Conspiracy theorists have absolutely zero tolerance for anyone questioning their shit, and I know exactly why, it's because of what you said here:
The bottom line is that conspiracy theory is for stupid people what porn is for lonely people. Stupid people love conspiracy theory, because it makes them feel really smart. They get to pretend they're a badass like Jason Bourne fighting against a trillion dollar intelligence apparatus. "Look at me, I broke the code, they can't stop me!"
When you question conspiracy theorists on their beliefs, this is a problem... because (like you said) they don't actually know anything, that means they do not know how to respond.
If conspiracy theory was logical then any resistance should have a logical response. But it's not logical, it's emotional. So you get emotional responses.
If a conspiracy theorist were to be backed in a corner, they'd basically have to admit they're stupid/gullible/wrong. Three things people would rather literally die than ever admit about themselves. So they do exactly what you see in this thread... they get furiously angry, they lash out in hatred, they scream until you leave and then they declare victory.
They will never respond to an argument. Ever. And they never have to me. Ever. Not in any thread, anywhere on this entire board, in 4+ years. I've seen this pattern of shitty behavior everywhere conspiracy theorist scumbags infest, for literally twenty fucking years.
The other defense mechanism they use basically is just outright denialism. If you point out a flaw in a conspiracy theory, they say "nobody believes that" even though they all fucking believe it. If you show them something they ignored/overlooked, they will tell you it isn't real.
These are not smart people. They aren't honest people, either. If conspiracy theory was about 'asking questions' they should welcome arguments, since in theory, it should help refine the theory down to the real facts. Instead they just believe whatever is put in front of them.
Dude, you sound like one of those midwit atheists. I guess your username gives it away.
Well duh, you aren't going to convince a paranoid or mentally ill nutcase. An argument is the literal worst way to convince someone out of their deeply held conviction, because, as you said, most people would rather die than admit wrong.
You are proving him wrong for everyone else watching. You are making his ideas not make sense in front of everybody to dismantle their ability to spread and grow.
You can't make dumb/bad/evil people just stop existing, they will always crop up naturally on their own. And the inherent nonsense of the universe means they will always have a conspiracy to organically grow with them too. Trying to kill the source when it comes from human nature makes you look like a retard more obsessed with feeling "right" and "winning" than actually accomplishing anything.
Your points are mostly valid, if filled with fart huffing self masturbation, but that's why you don't engage with the dumb notion of somehow "bringing them to the light."
