I have a question for you, why do you conspiracy theorists always follow the same script? Do you guys get like...a pamphlet or something? Is there a course somewhere you guys take to all say exactly the same stuff and ctrl+F replace whatever boogeyman you're talking about?

Are you aware you are doing that? That you sound like every other conspiracy theorist around? (Though with much better spelling and punctuation than I normally see, so good work there.)

I don't think you've realised that you've stumbled upon a communist part of Lemmy. We are not "sheeple" mindlessly going along with the status quo here. In fact, we're often called conspiracy theorists ourselves, for disagreeing with the mainstream narrative on practically everything.

Conspiracy theories are a way to distract people from the real issues and real solutions. I know you won't accept this, but you've been had, you've been manipulated. Those that rule our world have tricked you into doing their dirty work for them and spreading misinformation to others. This isn't me telling you to stop trying to make the world a better place, it's me telling you to try learning who the real enemy is.

You don't need to be mad at the shadow government, you can just be mad at the actual government.

That’s minimisation and it’s coordinated on a large scale.

This line fascinates me. We live in a capitalist world, a capitalist society. There are fewer than half a dozen nations on the planet that could be considered non-capitalist, and they are still forced to work with the capitalist nations for their survival. How could something be coordinated on a larger scale than the entire planet?

Even worse, that is a lemmygrad account…

They seem to have been banned. That's unfortunate. Somewhere like here is probably the best place for them to actually have proper challenges to the conspiracy logic cluttering up their brain. They get banned, they're only going to go onto infowars. I joked about the triple parenthesis before, but it probably won't be too long before they start using them unironically themselves.

It’s a double edged sword. I’d rather not have crank conspiracies coming from lemmygrad accounts, we already get slandered enough, so on that front I’m glad they got banned, but yes, hopefully they dont spiral into antisemitism/fascism
