Yeah definitely. I imagine for someone who struggles with mental health issues and low self-esteem an online space like that could give them a lot of reassurances. A voice to share, people agreeing with you, a lot of pats on the back and bigging up.

you also get to look down on the “sheep” and feel superior, and for many who have always felt like the underdog that can be a very attractive position as well. 🤦🏻‍♀️
 
For some people I think being a conspiracy theorist is a way of life, rather than just something you believe in. As an example, someone I work with spends his whole lunch break watching YouTube videos on various theories, listens to podcasts when he’s driving, he goes out ufo spotting in the evening and will spend time trying to convince others. He will send videos about climate change being a hoax and about aliens to our work whatsapp group.

It’s scary. They indoctrinate and brain wash each other.

I dipped in to the other thread, saw the words “flat earth” and ran for the hills. I love a good conspiracy about things that could actually be true and it can be fun to speculate but flat earthers and anti vax are purely tin foil hat brigade

don’t you know the Pope is about to be arrested.....thanks to Donald Trump.

and the queen, who told the public to take the vaccine last week was actually Bill Gates in drag.

I want to think you’re joking about both of those things, but I doubt you are 😂

Apparently we're all scared 😱😂 Yes I am, but only of the CTs spreading dangerous nonsense!

Why do CTs share SO many links to articles, videos that are 3 hours long and other tit on Every. Single. Post. It's weird, exhausting and just get a life basically! Yes I come on here daily, but how do they have time to read and watch all that crap?! No wonder they've checked out of normal life!

Yes! Whenever you ask them to back up anything they reply by sharing a link to a ridiculously lengthy video (or four).
I swear it's because they know that no right-minded person can be arsed wasting that amount of their life watching such rubbish so they can continue to crow that they have this "superior knowledge" that mere mortals (AKA us "sheep" ) just can't / don't /won't understand.

Confirmation bias. The calling card of a CT
 
I dip in and out of quite a few threads on here depending on what's going on. I must say that I don't mind a good conspiracy theory, but as others have said - it's the arrogance surrounding it. "Do your research" erm ok, if there is evidence out there then why don't you just show me 🤷‍♀️

I've just come here from the Harry and Meghan thread as I was curious to see what's going on after hearing about the interview. I have no opinion on them personally and tbh I don't blame them for leaving, but I was reading about fake bumps, master manipulation and how it was all planned 🙃 people get so angry about these things when it doesn't personally affect them

Maybe it's just me but why do these people care so much? In my experience, they're usually the first to say that people that you're easily triggered or a "sheep" yet get offended and tell you to "do your own research" because they don't want to give out their very genuine, totally not photoshopped Facebook photo based on facts lol
