Go figure: If youre a birther or a 9/11 denier, chances are you arent much fun to be around. Sure, weve been saying this about our wack-job uncle for years but now its backed up by science.
With contemporary conspiracy theories targeting everything from myths surrounding the Mueller report to the chilling secret behind Disneys Frozen, this cultural phenomenon is certainly ripe for clinical exploration.
As such, the new study measured participants belief in general notions of conspiracy as well as how much they agreed with specific theories (There was an official campaign by MI6 to assassinate Princess Diana). Those inclined to believe the theories were more accepting of everyday crime, such as demanding a refund for no appropriate reason.
In addition, exposure to conspiracy theories was found to make people more apt to engage in low-level criminal activity. Researchers found that this tendency was directly linked to an individuals feeling of a lack of social cohesion or shared values, known as anomie.

Wait. When did sociology or psychology become sciences?
At Least we Have
No Flat Earthers,,,
Yet.
My take is that any explanation other than the most obvious, simple and commonly accepted one requires incontrovertible proof. I have no faith in anything and believe nothing without proof that would convict in a court of law and pass peer-reviewed science.
[ One of the biggest conspiracies that the gubmit & military has held onto is the cover-up of UFOs and like-kind Supernatural Occurrences.
I believe that President Trump in his on-going fight against the Deep State will disclose and leak all sorts of info before next years elections. In other words, make disclosure official.
Flame away.... ]
The biggest reason the government would have to keep aliens secret is the fact they can’t even protect people from them. Would the people trust them for spending trillions of foreign wars and other government programs if we knew the aliens could snuff us out on a whim next Thursday to make room for a new hyperspace bypass?
[ The worst was a 9-11 truther. He grabbed everybody’s ear at work to espouse his theory. Of course he claimed to be a military demolitions genius and knew several people who knew several people that knew a CIA agent...you get the picture.
Turns out his “demolition expert” status was bogus as was his military service. Three weeks in boot camp then a discharge for the good of the service apparently made him an expert.
He eventually got fired from our company because he spent all his time talking conspiracy and none of it doing his job. ]
The BIGGEST 9/11 conspiracies:
1. Why the field agents that warned their seniors about the hijackers never got to take their bosses jobs.
2. Why we didn’t invade/regime change Saudi Arabia for their nearly half century long practice of spending money on international jihad
3. The Redacted pages of the 9/111 report, we all have a right to know.
4. The links between the 93 attack and the 01 attacks and who the hell ignored them when they shouldn’t have.
Plenty of other questions and scummy crap that doesn’t have to do the melting point of steel and remote control panes and wilie E coyote dynamite plungers
[ If this theory were true, Infowars would have instigated thousands, if not millions, of criminals worldwide. I doubt there is even a dozen of real criminals in that bunch. (Note how I used the term real... thoughtcrime crimes in Britain dont count!) ]
They do have an “Info wars army” LOL
[ This sounds like part of the greater movement to ban content or deplatform people that are guilty of wrong-think. ]
I agree. Certainly there are conspiracy theories that even I, as a tinfoiler, don’t agree with.
But the “official party” line which constantly exonerates Hillary and Barack and demonizes anyone on the right is ridiculous and destructive to America.
If you think an XX can become an XY and that an XY can become an XX you’re already gone. Or Democrat. LOL
I am writing this from the super-secret alien spaceship base on the far side of the Moon because the ant people are making me do so.
I know a flat-Earther. I don’t know if he just wanted to see how far down the rabbit hole you’d follow him. I pretty much gave up not long after that. For a host of reasons, not just that.
I don’t believe peer reviewed science.
It is regularly shown to be bogus.
Pfft, wacky 9-11 truthers?
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
WTC Twin Towers and Pentagon building.
AE911Truth is a nonprofit organization that represents more than 3000 commercial building architects and structural engineers who disagree with some of the 9-11 Commission and NIST report conclusions.
THE MOST ESSENTIAL 9-11 QUESTION:
WHY DID WTC 7 BUILDING FREE FALL WHEN IT WAS NEVER STRUCK BY EITHER OF THE TWO 9-11 PLANES?
Debunked.
The fire from WTC1 engulfed 10 of the 47 stories of Building 7.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/design/a3524/4278874/
What point are you trying to make with that nutball 9/11 truther crap anyway? That Bush’s Administration sought to blow it all up?
Well, I got one on my 9-11 analogy..That’ll teach me.
Debunked by Arianne Cohen, a journalist from the New York Times? Are you freaking kidding me?
You are basing your information based off a New York Times journalist??
That alone should tell you the opposite is probably true.
Im basing my conclusions on the findings of the team of engineers who actually investigated the cause of the fall of Building 7. If you want to believe those who assert otherwise, go for it. Id still like you truther types to explain what you want us to believe happened and what the motive for such an occurrence would be.
Yeah, right -
Funny that Popular Mechanics and NIST now report (as of 2017) for the first time in steel beam high rise building history, an office furniture fire caused a 47 story building to free fall collapse (demolition style) right into its own footprint.
This “recent” NIST WTC 7 finding couldn’t possibly be due to the 9-11 victims court case refuting 9-11 Commission findings?
Also incredible that BBC Live broadcast announcement that WTC 7 fell 20 mins before it actually did...
BTW, didn’t building owner, Larry Silverstein, state during an interview, he told Incident Command to “pull” the building?.
You do know that even President Trump has expressed doubt that airliners solely brought down the Twin Towers as reported by the 9-11 Commission report.
President Trump has stated in previous interviews that he believes bombs were set off to cause the buildings to collapse:
The world, our government, our obscene national debt, unbridled gov’t power US, erroded Constitution citizen rights (slam-dunk vote pre-written Patriot Act) all changed for the worst from that very day, on.
Airman,
Thank you for your service.
I am truly sorry that the country you served for two decades is no longer a sound free republic.
Bwahahahahah
if it isn’t peer reviewed, it isn’t science, it’s religion.
So, to support the conspiracy theory position, we have to accept the notion that explosives were pre-set within those buildings and lo and behold the lucky break of two 747 aircraft piloted by al-Qaida terrorists just happened to give them the cover to bring the whose mass down through demolition explosives. Oh, and the fire that engulfed 10 stories of Building 7 gave them enough cover to drop that one as well.
So, tell me.. who are the culprits in this massive conspiracy and why did they do it?
