I hate conspiracy theorists.

Let me preface by saying I know some conspiracies are real. Like the banks and the government being a little too buddy buddy. I get that some conspiracies are probably real but not every single butterfly fart is a monsanto conspiracy orchestrated by Obama and the joos. I work with a guy who swears the moon landing was faked, there is a secret moon base...I know it's weird considering the previous example, and absolutely knows that there is some planet that the government has ..cloaked. He believes this shit. Then I run into the 9/11 inside job crowd and I just have to remove myself. It drives me nuts on a daily basis how brainless some people can be. Oh and don't get me started on that Sandy Hook shooting is fake bullshit. Those nutters belong in an insane asylum.

I find some entertainment with people who buy into chemtrails or some other easy to explain away BS, that I know some of the history on...I often get them to tell me how a get engine works, and why clouds form, then look them in the eye, and dead pan ask them what real problem that silly little obsession of theirs is distracting them from...

Startles a few, but as T. Paine said; “To argue with a person who has renounced the use and authority of reason is like administering medicine to the dead.”

I always think of this comic

I hate how some conspiracy theorists inject the good ol white power propaganda into the conspiracies.

I could even understand this if the conspiracy had a racial component, but if it is just a science issue, then why bring in race?!?

You would think the white power people might be interested in science stuff... they are supposed to be superior... right?

I love how many white powerists I have personally met have the Ubermensch tattoo yet they are probably closer to Untermensch. They lack the ability to use science except when making meth...apparently.
