I (male) use Twitter quite a bit, and you see some extremely outlandish stories on there, both from individuals as well as so called media outlets, I like to think I do have enough brain cells to make informed decisions on what I believe though  |

some of the threads do seem logical and very credible, others are a good laugh because they are so outlandish, but any that offer real evidence is often worth reading as it offers different view points and information...its having the intelligence to discard the majority of the speel as fake and form your own opinions.. |

They can be entertaining to read, in the same way watching a sci Fi show is. But important to know where the shores of reality are.
Some of what's on Twitter and here in the virus forum... Sweet zombie jesus  |

What I don't understand is that most conspiracy theories are so easily disproved. I genuinely don't know how the people that believe them can't see that. There are one or two that make you stop and think though. |

Conspiracy theorists aren't in it for the facts. They're in it because it makes them feel special and superior to other people.
Talk to a conspiracy theorist for five mins and they'll start talking about 'sheeple' or how gullible everyone is. |

Articles such as these permeate as there's huge distrust in government. And of course, they distract people from more important pressing issues.
Clearly conspiracies have existed, do exist and will continue to exist. Many scholarly books and articles exist out there, if you move away from the usual Youtoob BS.

I think they're using seagulls round here. Seagull chicks are bigger than their parents, that to me is actual proof that they are tiny people in seagull outfits monitoring me |

I think it's a way to feel in control, so this kind of thinking is more prominent at the moment. Things are awful and if you have secret knowledge about a super powerful bad actor, then at least you know something? I don't entirely understand it. I mostly hear about conspiracy theories through the scientists who rebut them (I follow the science for the science, and I mostly hear science related conspiracy theories) |

Usually no smoke without fire.
The majority of conspiracy theories that make it mainstream always have an element of truth behind them and things that just can be coincidences.
It’s probably 1 million times worse that what conspiracy theorists think it is |

No. Because I was feeding him baby food through an oral syringe which is what I read and he was spitting it out. I met a man at a fete shortly after from an owl sanctuary who said you have to put peas in your hand and let it nibble thing. Poor little mite. I tried my best though. |

Often they end up having racist overtones (particularly anti Semitic) but also give the credit to people with power being able to act in a co/ordinated way when most of the time they can’t find their arse from their elbow. |

"What I don't understand is that most conspiracy theories are so easily disproved. I genuinely don't know how the people that believe them can't see that. There are one or two that make you stop and think though. "
It's the classic "a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing", fuelled by instant news and instant reaction online.
(Potentially long post, apologies in advance)
I had a friend who started posting strange things on Facebook, naming professionals with links to their Linkedin etc saying they were responsible for her being mind-r#ped and similar things. No one else reacted, but after a few I commented saying she shouldn't be posing that, it's libellous. If she has a genuine problem go to the police, if not, take it down.
Other posts started to appear about her friends and family not talking to her, and others about various mind control actions against her.
I was the only one to challenge her publicly and mention the link between her rants and losing friends. I was blunt but respectful about it being nonsense, and that she, as someone studying medicine, should be able to look at evidence and credibility. I also said that I fully expected her friends and supporters to tell me I was part of it, one of them, in on the mind control, etc, and thats just what they did, along with starting discussions citing links to "evidence" of their theories. All of which were rather unnscientific.
I did my best to reason with her, and to spell out the link between losing friends and peddling that kind of nonsense. After a few weeks she told me to stop being rude to her friends (I wasn't) and posting "stupid comments" on her Facebook, and blocked me.
No idea how it ended, I hope she got help. Biggest problem with any conspiracy theory is that

Not quite the same thing but last night a few posts appeared on Facebook purporting to be from Currys saying they had too many televisions for various reasons and we're giving them away. The number of people who shared it amazed me, some of who I had previously considered pretty savvy. It took seconds to research and prove wrong |

It's usually the uneducated dims believing/spreading conspiracies. Look at how many were protesting against 5G frying your brains and being the real reason for lockdown all their reasoning was fundamentally scientifically flawed

There are some very intelligent people who believe these things. They take their intellectual competence, and knowledge in some areas, and fail to see the intellectual flaws in their reasoning and research. |

I’ll openly admit I’m a flat earth believer, far behond the point of return. I’ve dealt with ridicule most of my life due to my fascination with unpopular topics, no doesn’t bother me, makes life more amusing for sure. It’s the biggest lie of them all and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Empirical science is the key. Shit we can test observe and prove. I’m not going to start a big debate I’ve been there enough times. Common sense an a basic knowledge of the physics of liquid should be enough for people with a brain to realise they’ve been duped. You live in world made of of roughy 70% the rest is land mass.. water/liquid will always find its level and remain flat, hence the the term sea level. That’s 70% of earth flat and level... making he world being spherical impossible. |

The term conspiracy theorist itself was coined by the CIA to discredit whistle blowers. It’s still used to this day pretty much the same. A lot of people are so far gone they only have to hear the word conspiracy to become triggered and turn into the harborer of all things true. |

I'm not entirely sure whether that's irony or not, but go on, for the sake of amusement, I'll bite, why doesn't the water all fall off the edge then? What's underneath/on the other side? Have you ever been high up in an aeroplane over water - or was it one fitted with the special windows make things far away look curved?
I think you've kinda already made the counter-argument to the argument you cite, which confuses things like "flat" and "level" - and as I suggeted in my earlier post, citing 'basic physics knowledge' proves exactly the addage that "a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing"! |

Having read the "proof"for flat earth, much of it raises more questions about their explanations than mainstream science. I'm assuming compasses are unreliable and there is no such thing as North/South?
Genuinely interested. |

Don't you get it? "Mainstream" "science" IS the conspiricy, because we're not supposed to know the truth. It's just what they tell us to try and stop people finding out about the truth. It's obvious really. If hiding the truth weren't so important, why would governments spend millions every year creating "agencies" and "departments" and doing "studies" and "research" to provide "mainstream", "scientific" explanations when we could just all know the truth? And now that some people do know the truth, the only way to stop it spreading is by debunking it with all their "mainstream" explanations using "scientific methods" and "evidence" to try and discredit "theorists" who have discovered the truth and make it look like they don't know what theyre talking about. |
