RE: Calling Steemit Conspiracy Theorists: Should I Even Bother "Debunking?"

in #news7 years ago

I think the greatest conspiracy of all time is the invention of the word conspiracy... Think about it. You can discredit anything by calling it a conspiracy...

Sort:  

Yep, the CIA is credited with coming up with the terms ‘conspiracy theory’ and ‘conspiracy theorist’.

How do I know if this is a true fact or a conspiracy theory? I guess that's the point... ;)

I agree, it's a great way to psychologically de-legitamise criticism or investigation of hard truths. and it's effective, it was dreamed up by the intel community as a way of debunking anyone who got too warm... probably ;)

It's a government conspiracy to create a bunch of conspiracy theorists!

it's a conspiracy to bury conspiracies under a pile of goonies.. and it works incredibly well .. 93.45% of the time !! ;)

Google warren commission ;)

Actually.. it is.

Do research on the warren commission.

They were the ones investigating the JFK assassination, and they were the ones who coined the work conspiracy theory.. to silence people asking questions about the assassination.

Thanks for the background story... Nuts!
