(55,981 posts)In the real world there are conspiracies. Lot's of them. At home, at school, at work, and lots in politics. In fact, IMO most big events that happen in politics involve conspiracies. Very few are random events. But some here dont like the idea that we might not know what happened. They want things tied in a nice bow so they dont have to think. It helps if an authoritarian body tells them what has happened and that everything is under control. The government has a great interest in making the populace believe that they are in control. Claiming over and over that you know the facts only undermines your objectivity. Of course there are bound to be wild ass crazy theories but why so quick to discount alternate theories?
Be open minded, be skeptical especially when it's your government.
