Conspiracies and Morons by Bongwater-bandit

Conspiracies and Morons by Bongwater-bandit

A tribute to a really great H.L. Mencken quote.

He summed up the entire field of conspiracy theory, including websites like abovetopsecret.com and infowars and people like Alex Jones and David Icke in the most perfect way with this quote.

Basically those tin foil hats are fighting an enemy that doesn't even exist and waste their lives for nothing. Pathetic fools.

Have any of those crooked Wall Street financial manipulators been imprisoned yet? Did anyone get severely punished for the Enron scandal? What's happened with the Benghazi business? Has anyone been able to "accidentally" duplicate the controlled demolition features of Building Seven's collapse without being a controlled demolition?

Honestly, if you're going to categorically deny that conspiracies never happen, then you're just as idiotic as those who blame conspiracies for everything that happens.

Why in hell would you believe that the government never lies? You got to be out of your mind.

"Why in hell would you believe that the government never lies? "

I never said that you lunatic.

I never even said that conspiracies never happen.

You're getting super-defensive and spazzing out over things I never said and you're really not doing anything to change my mind about conspiracy theorists.

try harder next time

You're the one posting a silly comparison between anyone who believes that conspiracies happen and crazies, not I. Read the comment, slowly, before jumping around into weird territory.

The "super-defensive and spazzing" is just your imagination.

Hahahahaha you're cute.

You haven't yet re-read the comment to understand it, have you?

Maybe you better go back to school then. English must a language that's beyond you.

You're fucking adorable, kiddo.

I'm sure you're obviously some intellectual giant, which is why you've done nothing but call me a stupidhead in a variety of thinly-veiled, pseudo-intellectual ways.

Also, you brought up the 9/11 thing. That's been debunked a hundred times over, by actual engineers no less.

I'm sorry but I'm not going to join the Cult of The Tinfoil Hat just because some screechy zealot can't handle his worldview being made fun of.

Before you started replying, I forgot all about you and this piece.

Also,. I'm going to say once again that I never said that conspiracies never happen, just that most conspiracy theories are bullshit and the people who believe them are generally crazy people.

I'm not going to respond to you again, we're done here.

Go home and be a family man.

This clown was failed footballer (really it's American rules rugby) like David Icke was a mediocre soccer player.

there is another central belief of another type of moron, the type of moron who sits in a cave laughing at the idea there is something outside of the cave.

the quote you cited in this deviation is especially humorous when documents such as the "End game memo" are available for all to read.

Ignorance mixed with arrogance is the true calling card of a moron.

"there is another central belief of another type of moron, the type of moron who sits in a cave laughing at the idea there is something outside of the cave."

Oh wow, nice strawman, bro.

"the quote you cited in this deviation is especially humorous when documents such as the "End game memo" are available for all to read."

So basically the big evil conspiracy also managed to leave mountains of evidence everywhere, it must not be much of a conspiracy then.

"Ignorance mixed with arrogance is the true calling card of a moron."

I think you're confusing being open-minded with being gullible and ignorance with skepticism. You can claim that the NWO is behind everything from theIraq War to Sandy Hook, and you can claim that 9/11 was an inside job, but you're not going to have any credibility without having any proof to back that shit up.

That's why nobody sane takes David Icke seriously. David Icke never provided any actual, airtight proof that the British Royal family were alien lizard people, and no white nationalist has ever been able to prove that the world is run by Caucasian-hating Jews either.

The burden of proof is on the Alex Jones types to prove that there's this massive conspiracy afoot. There's this axiom among the scientific community "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

So where is your extraordinary evidence?

"So basically the big evil conspiracy also managed to leave mountains of evidence everywhere, it must not be much of a conspiracy then. "

How is it not a conspiracy because it left mountains of evidence? Do you not know what that word means? is the Iran-Contra scandal during the Reagan years not a conspiracy because it left mountains of evidence? I notice people who throw that term "strawman" around use "strawmen" the most.

Your logic is absolutely insane. Look at the words you use "big evil conspiracy." Its just a game to you. You think all these wars are fought for spreading democracy? "conspiracy people" dont really listen to david icke.....I know I don't. Some do, but not as many as you think. Icke is a black sheep in the conspiracy world. "conspiracy theory" is not about UFO's and Reptile people.

Just because david icke is loony does not mean all 'conspiracy people' are. It just means david icke is loony. He has said some good stuff, but the whole 'reptile people' thing ruins it. I dont listen to icke.

"but you're not going to have any credibility without having any proof to back that shit up."

There is mountains of evidence backing it all up. Do you want the evidence showing osama bin laden was a CIA operative or Larry Silversteins insurance policy worth billions? Or the saudi connection? and so on and so on and so on and so on.

ignorance is extraordinary, but that does not make it true. I told you about the End Game Memo which is evidence, and you ask me where my evidence is. I imagine you had never even heard of the end game memo before now. There is so much evidence that at this point anyone not aware of what really has been going on is simply to full of their own shit to see it. The information will never come to you, you must seek it out, and it takes a lot of time.
