If You Believe One Conspiracy Theory

[Toro]

You usually believe almost all

In recent years, conspiracy theories have pervaded mainstream discourse. Social media, in particular, reinforce their visibility and propagation. However, most prior studies on the dissemination of conspiracy theories in digital environments have focused on individual cases or conspiracy theories as a generic phenomenon. Our research addresses this gap by comparing the 10 most prominent conspiracy theories on Twitter, the communities supporting them, and their main propagators. Drawing on a dataset of 106,807 tweets published over 6 weeks from 2018 to 2019, we combine large-scale network analysis and in-depth qualitative analysis of user profiles. Our findings illustrate which conspiracy theories are prevalent on Twitter, and how different conspiracy theories are separated or interconnected within communities.​

That's absurd. Evidence,.anecdotal or otherwise, guide my belief in a theory. Not all conspiracies are equal,, most are easily debunked via common sense, others have legs based on sound logic and assessment.

/----/ I think the OP and three other guys made this whole conspiracy thing up.

Research on individual-difference factors predicting belief in conspiracy theories has proceeded along several independent lines that converge on a profile of conspiracy believers as individuals who are relatively untrusting, ideologically eccentric, concerned about personal safety, and prone to perceiving agency in actions and profundity in bullshit.​

Word.

Especially the “bullshit” part.

Crayons are the only thing you’d understand

It's always amusing when the side that gets confused when choosing a bathroom, still feels DT is Putin's puppet & believes a demented pervert in a dirty diaper staying in a Delaware basement got 81 million legit votes.

You are the useful idiots the commies loved.
You have degenerated into mindless minions for the globalist masters & your opinions mean nothing.

I still think Benghazi was a cover up. Beyond that, not really.

Elsewhere he is Titloose the ex Russian deportee or one of his desk colleagues.

Suspect both are in a care home together with mental health issues.

You need to get off Twatter fast , Torso. It has harmed your Hippocampus .

The OP hit the nail on the head. The conspiracy nuts can't get enough (though they resent having their loony conspiracy threads moved to the conspiracy forum).

LOL!

I believe none of those things

Ridiculous black & white thinking. I think chemtrails being sprayed above us to control the masses is pure bullshit. I get really tired of hearing simple plebes rant about it. I do however believe that our intelligence agencies experiment on the public on a regular basis using other things...like voice-to-skull Sonic technology for instance. And for anyone to say that the assassination of JFK didn't result in an absolutely massive epic scale cover up involving multiple government agencies is pure ignorance. Many past assassins have very eerie things in common, not just that they are screwballs. Many things go on over our heads and behind closed doors that would blow our minds if we realized it.

Chemtrails are real enough, they just aren't what conspiracy theorists think they are.
