7. That's why I didn't understand all the scolding and lecturing about the conspiracy theories

I generally find such posts condescending and a bore. Usually it’s the “poo poo, you’re so mean because some fascist died” kind of post. I couldn’t blame anyone for not trusting the official story on what happened.

The real crazy conspiracy theories have always been on the right. Remember, first it was the black helicopters… hell go back farther. It was so well parodied by Dr. Strangelove.

Even with 9/11 it was Alex jones and infowars that played a big part is spreading it.

Their side is generally not into rational thinking anyways.
