    How are those conspiracy theories? They are consensus you disagree with that people are sensitive about? Where is the conspiracy? Just that most people disagree with you?

    A lot of these “theories” that you disagree with have no conspiracy in them. Mate you’re just angry that most people disagree with you.

      They didn’t say they were conspiracy theories, they said they were propaganda. It’s true but gives them an unfairly negative connotation.

      Why put in quotes something they didn’t say? edited because they fixed it. never mind, they undid their correction for some reason.

      I never said they were conspiracy theories. This is about groupthink and propaganda, with “propaganda” in this context being on the looser end of its definition since it’s not literally government-organized. It’s just a list of things that people in the communities I frequent have a common belief in that can’t be easily debated due to the strength of that shared belief.

      This isn’t about whether I personally agree or disagree with these points. I actually do agree with some of them, I just recognize that it’s difficult to discuss them with any nuance. I don’t like it when people agree with me for mindless reasons either.
