Are those people who are laughing at conspiracy theories themselves victims of a conspiracy.

Asked by Ben_Dover (4213points) September 9th, 2010

It makes sense. If the conspiracy is in fact reality, then would it not behoove those involved to spin a tale and ridicule people who suspect a conspiracy?

@hawaii_jake Whatever you do, don’t rock the boat. Do as you are told. Don’t have an original thought.

It’s definitely a possibility. In fact I rather expect that there are a lot of hidden agendas, if not outright conspiracy theories. If Netizens can have hidden agendas, then other people can, too.
You could make the argument that all politicians are sneaking around being sneaky, since their primary goal is to get re-elected, not, necessarily, to do their jobs well.

As long as you don’t blow up my email then believe whatever you want.

Frankly, I think it’s laughable that any one group could ever get their clutches around the entire thing. People rely on public relations these days to get their agenda’s filled. They may lie and spin and hide their agenda’s behind smiles, but that’s not conspiracy.

Conspiracy only exists when there is an actual mission statement behind the cause. I’ll believe in any conspiracy that can produce documentation that specifically designates a creed of conspiracy. Otherwise, it’s just ad-hoc based around the personal desires of megalomaniacs.

Duh!

People are assisinated every day for revealing the truth.

From the everyday person that seeks to silence a truth being revealed to the global level.

Darkness most fears the light.
