so unless it's happened already, based on silly FB memes I'm already seeing, expect the "Why did Obama raise taxes when he said he didn't? #confused" JPGs to start rolling out soon. which is good as I needed to thin out my friends list anyway

Don't understand that one unless it's a "What does a cow drink?" way to make you misspell "brilliant".

on the one hand this is the worst, on the other hand I kinda hope this person devolves into only ever using blockbuster movie scenes as a mouthpiece for conspiracy theories
― crüt, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 14:21 (eleven years ago) link
on the third hand i'm pretty sure there are ilxors that agree w/ harry potter's sentiment

it's just occurred to me i don't think i've ever read a conspiracy nut who suggested what they wanted doing about the big conspiracy

apart from BLOWING THE LID OFF said conspiracy you mean?

pretty much yeah
it's like you never see nutjob conspiracy-hunting in the service of Maoism or National Socialim, it's always a separate end in itself. David Icke doesn't have any program i know of beyond "kill all lizards/royals/jews"

nah seriously, whatever you think of the world-view of "extremist" political ideologies it's not really the same as Truthing and it exists as part of a program - however unreal, however utopian - that wants to govern
― non-elitist melted poo (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 15:01 (eleven years ago) link
xpost i guess some might argue that expressions like "double dutch" or "it's all greek to me" are racist, but the game's existed for decades if not centuries before the telephone.

It certainly explains the sweeping federal anti-gun legislation that was passed immediately afterwards and how you can't buy guns anywhere anymore.

hey, I didn't say racist, I said weird racial overtones!

but yeah okay conspiracy theories have been used by political movements at times, it is different to the bug-eyed caffeinated video-game Columboisms of today's internet Controversial TV fans
