How do we know that the government doesn't create all these conspiracy theories. To distract everyone from the furthering of their reptilian agenda.

I've unfriended 5 people who've posted this stupid video on my feed right after I told them that they are f***** in the head.
People are assholes and a lot of times there's no rhyme or reason for them to be that way. They just are.
Now, does that mean we should stop asking questions about and getting to the bottom of this messed up case? No. But, let's look at things from a logical point of view and not some thriller movie bulls***.

That "Crisis Actors" thing is somehow even more ridiculous than the Reptilians conspiracy theory. At least that one goes all the way by claiming it's extraterrestrials with superpowers so anything goes, but he crisis actors thing is supposed to be grounded in reality, and yet it all bogs down to "these guys sure do look like, don't they?" even though no, they don't really look alike.

The dead (actually secretly alive) children of Sandy Hook must be currently being stored at a government warehouse at Area 51, along with the passengers of all the planes on 9/11

So, I've been posting the debunking link whenever I've been seeing the video or discussion on the video with a friendly "Have you see this?" The prevailing responses to both are "We'll see what occurs within the next 2 years" and "WTH?"

The prevailing responses to both are "We'll see what occurs within the next 2 years" and "WTH?" That's loser talk for "I don't want to admit I lost ". This pretty much shows that they don't want the truth, they want to be right. Which is how most debates start. You should said "That's right. You got nothing,loser. Now hit my music." And then drop the mic. and walk out of the ring.

It amazes me how many people buy into these conspiracies, and simultaneously buy into the idea that the government is incompetent and can't do anything right.
Logic fail.

And the question they never ask themselves: if the government is involved in such conspiracies that literally require thousands of active members and do everything in their power including murder to cover-up their tracks at the slightest hint that someone might be on to them... why exactly do they let so many blogs, books, interviews, magazines, freaking conferences and movies get published without any problem at all? Note how I just mentioned several mediums that require various legal authorizations and should therefore inform the members of the conspiracy that someone is about to expose them. Also, if the government is that powerful and has such little regard for democracy, why do they even bother with the conspiracy? Why not just start a dictatorship here and there and put everyone who doesn't obey them in jail or execute them? You don't have to hide if you remove your enemies' ability to fight you. You don't have to be subtle if you give yourself the power to squash any opposition before it even starts.

Yeah, wholeheartedly agree with the rationale for why things like this and the 9/11 conspiracy stuff is so appealing. We'd love to believe there are no wicked people, just wicked faceless monoliths like the government and corporations and such. Blaming a body of people takes away the complications... they're callous just because. They're power-hungry, greedy, whatever. It's simple, and simplistic. Individuals are much more complicated and unsettling, because we don't know what sets them off, we can't point to certain characteristics and say that's definitively it, and we don't know who's going to snap next. It makes for a much less controlled world. At least with the idea of the government perpetrating these things, there's a controlled hopelessness... we'll protest, we'll "fight the power", and then we'll go home in the comfort of knowing there was nothing we could really do anyway, it just is the way it is. ![](http://www.thestate.ae/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/olivia-gif-5.gif)

I'm considering taking a swan dive down a flight of stairs in hopes of acquiring the proper amount of brain damage required to understand how the majority of conspiracy theorists "think."

Conspiracy theorists need the idea of government control, or to a greater extent any control by organised authority
Because the idea of a rudderless world where chaos and unpredictability occur is frightening to them.

There are people who honestly believe the world is flat, the stupidity of conspiracy theorists stopped surprising me a long time ago.

That's why clowns like Alex Jones have such devoted followings. He peddles fear, but it's a form of "sanitized fear" that takes the power away from random individuals and ties everything up in a neat little us-vs-them package. For some, blaming everything on a cartoon entity is easier than coming to grips with just how f***ed up people can get.
