Ever been stuck in a car with a Conspiracy theorist nutjob?

That's... easily solvable.
i don't mind it so much really. it's entertaining and sometimes even interesting, even though i don't believe in it all.
 
Aliens are real.

Just look at the stats, all those stars in the sky with planets around them, there has to be some out there.

or already here??

gdt5016 do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, gdt5016, children's ice cream. You know when fluoridation first began? Nineteen hundred and forty-six. Nineteen forty-six, gdt5016. How does that coincide with your post-war Commie conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

We had a regular substitute teacher that was convinced the Chinese were causing global warming as a diversion so they could "sneak into the government" and take over the world.

She was fun.
 
I can sympathize, I'm "stuck" in a friendship with one. Add alcohol and Friday night has a 50/50 chance of turning into a rant session. Fun times.
 
I do love a conspiracy theory once i a while myself, the whole New World order does fascinate me, but i don't accept that as the truth.
I do have a friend who has the most crazy ideas in his head, and if you give the man some alcohol, he will rant for hours about the corrupt western world an such. :lol
Mind you, he's not a dumb person, he enjoyed a pretty decent education and his knowledge about WW2 is really interesting.
 
I'm quite glad that some of my friends hold radically different opinions and beliefs to myself. Makes for good conversation.
 
What is Alex Jones up to these days anyway?

The Swine Flu mass-extermination programme not panning out must have been a bit gutting for him.

I work with a tea partier, conspiracy theorist, racist in the produce section of Wal-Mart.

Do I win?

on top of that, you work at Wal-Mart. I wish you the quickest speed in your departure from that place

Anyway, I love conspiracy theorists. For me, it's always an easy target to make myself feel all superior. I love getting them in mental twists and loops where they have to make increasingly elaborate conspiracies in order to fit the pieces together. It's like nutjob jenga for the mind, with him carefully removing the pieces of reality and hoping things don't fall apart.
 
I know one.

The first time we talked about conspiracy theories he got really into it, and so did I because it's fun to make far out connections. All was good... but then, whenever we had a political discussion, this guy would start a rant that would end our exchange and make us all uncomfortable. He got this crazy look in his eyes and he was dead serious. I laughed as he spoke expecting him to at some point crack up and laugh with me. Nope, he believed every word that came out of his mouth. Fucking scary.

He's a nice guy but I dunno if I can take all the crazy.

Nice. So he wants millionaires to pay less taxes on his and doesn't want free healthcare. Sounds like a genius.

hey man, free healthcare is a socialist conspiracy. Just look at how all those Europeans suffer under the NHS...
fucking *idiots*
 
I've had to endure the theorising of my sister's conspiracy theorist nutjob boyfriend on a few occasions.

Apparently:

I have to watch something called 'Arrivals'
Jews are the biggest problem in the world
Jews sacrifice and eat babies
Bill Clinton is in on this too
Jews have their own police force in the US, they're dealt with by a special police force and not the regular police (i.e. they're above the law)
+ a myriad of other theories re. western actions in the middle east and pakistan and how these things are the root of all ills there.

It's all typically so flabberghasting I don't know what to say to it.

I don't mind it apart from when they're patently wrong and all you wanna do is rip your eyes out in frustration at the idiocy streaming from their mouths. Basically, any conversation that starts "I don't mind immigrants but..." or "Have you seen Zeitgeist?" is a reason to GTFO.
 
i've listened to enough Art Bell in the 90's to know about all these wackjob theories. Usually by loner, repressed 40-something guys living on the fringes of society doing too much crystal meth.
 
Your cousin looked up "Conspiricy Theory" on Wikipedia... then read the list of conspiricy theories. The list you give is just about the same order they appear on the wiki list...
 
A colleague of mine: "War is based on shrooms."

And then i thought, "it's nothing personal, but i'm going to kill this guy."

WHAT

I think the #1 reason for bringing back search is so I can find more of your posts which I've no doubt missed.
 
Yup, on a few occasions. I have had to take a few drives with my neocon, Limbaugh-listening, Coulter-reading, Beck-watching father in-law. Which itself wouldn't be bad at all if he could talk about anything else besides politics. He's the type of guy who has to bring politics in every conversation.
 
One of my friends, a long-term Ron Paul supporter, now he's been reading "The Creature of Jekyll Island", talking about how the FED needs to be brought down. Also has mentioned the New World Order (and not the wrestling group :P) and 9/11 inside jobs. His Facebook has links to the show Freedomwatch, which frequently features Alex Jones. Seems the longer I know him, the crazier he gets... told me that the country is gonna fall in 2 years and has invested all his (meager) income on gold and bullion.

Also over the weekend, tried convincing me that Obama's real name is Barry Satero and doesn't have a US birth certificate, rather a Kenyan one :P
 
I sympathize with you, OP.

What really irritates me is that if you don't buy in, you're 'closed minded'. The truthers are the 'open-minded' ones even though they're the ones making huge leaps of logic and discounting the actual evidence and most likely scenario.

Art Bell back in the day was great. Nothing better on the radio at 3 AM :lol
 
when i was enlisted I always wondered why these conspiracy guys join the military they are some of the most vocal group who are against certain govt policies yet they swear an oath to follow orders of the very same people they criticize. SMH all the time when my former roommate started talking about the govt and their secret plots. Flipped shit when Obama won the election then went on to claim its all part of the plan.
 
I rode in a car with one. And it was awesome. She went into some ol crazy shit like the mussad were in new orleans killing black people right after hurricane katrina. I was like daaaaaaaym say whaaaaaaaaaa.

I love listening to crazy shit like that. It's like what the fuck were you watching to even imagine some shit like that. But she's awesome. she's got a ton of crazy black pather-eqse theories like the CIA is hunting Tupac's mother. Those people are very very rare these days so i cherish each one i find.
 
worked a summer job with a dude once who was all about the conspiracy. My favorite moment was when he casually slipped in how Kubrick filmed the moon landing into a conversation. I wasn't even aware of that "theory" back then so I thought he was being self-deprecating so I laughed. Then he ranted for the rest of our shift about it. :|

Didn't Europe always blame its problems on the jews? Isn't that why they were massacred over there for over 2000 years?
No. It's because they are lizardmen dressed as men. They also run New World Order.
Every single person in power is a lizardman, such as all presidents of USA, Queen Elizabeth and so on. The chosen ones run world government and are known as jews. NWO is real, why are you so close-minded!

And you know what's worst?
Some people actually believe in it
 
I love reading the conspiracy thread here on GAF. If I'm feeling down, I just pop into that thread and read a few posts and all is better.

Your sister needs to find a new boyfriend already, goddamn! If she has a weakness for the exotic type of guy, she can find some Middle-eastern/South Asian dude who is -not- batshit insane. I also hear white girls love black guys, although I haven't experienced so much of this in my life :(.
To be fair, I don't get any sort of girls hitting on me ever


P.S. Baby eating Jews? Really?

He's going to bring it down from the inside, maaaan!

Also--and I'm not saying this is the mindset of all or most enlisted men, by any means!--I can see how both conspiracy theories and military service could appeal to a person with a psychological craving for order, cognitive dissonance be damned.
 
There was a nutjob over at the house the otherday (a friend brought him over) and he started talking about how honey bee's were smarter than humans and how the Egyptians had cellular devices.

He also told me that in 2012 all of earths gravity would "go away" because our atmosphere will "go away" (and that gravity is contained in the earths atmosphere)

I threw him out and my friend was told to never bring him over again.
 
My favourite conspiracy theorists who believe things that even other conspiracy theorists think are stupid - like the theory that JFK was shot by his driver. You know you're in trouble when ever the people who believe in cospiracys conspire to mock you.
 
BTW, I don't mean to be racist or anything but the Iran & the mid-East are notorious for crazy run-away conspiracy theories. Largely a lot of the Jew theories . . . Jews did 9/11, Holocaust didn't happen, Jews eat babies, etc.

Anywhere you can find hardcore conservative religion, you can generally find lots of crazy conspiracy theories. This should really not be surprising at all . . . both involved the belief in things that one has no evidence for.

I think I fall into this category. It's pretty obvious that politics and shit shouldn't be taken at face value and there's more going on behind the scenes that anyone will ever know, but I find the more esoteric and outlandish conspiracy theories more entertaining than anything else.



This is what I mean.

This nothing compares to the shit that gets put out once you get beyond planetary politics and it's even better when they get merged.

Omega Project
Terra papers
Stargates
Akashic Records
Grey Aliens
Nordics
Reptiles
Jesuits

There's just too much to ignore I love a good laugh google or youtube with a vivid mind takes me anywhere in the land of nutty types.

Speculawyer hate to bring in the correction it's zionist hate study khazars and the like and most of that sphere of nuts will make sense. Most think the jews are nothing more than pawns of a fascist state bent on bringing their messiah back. Jews aren't behind jack because they aren't running the show they are no different than sheep when it gets right down to right. I agree about the hate as jeff rense types are to be found in plenty of spaces. Most religious types believe in little shit and typically use it to bolster their own views.

Funny thing is coming back on the bus during holidays met truthers during various transfers 3 times. I shut them up with in minutes of mentioning the crazier theories I'm aware of. Though have to admit the one christ nwo type was dead set on whatever he wanted to spew.
 
Although I personally am fascinated by, and perhaps am inclined to believe a few conspiracy theories, its the people who seem to surround themselves in this massive web of conspiracies that they feel exists in every part of our world that bug me. We used to have this one guy over who thought the military or someone was poisoning his cats through death rays or something because of the "info" he knew. He would just go on and on about some of the most strangest shit, while at times was entertaining but also kinda scary because he really believed all this.

Also I do think its kinda sad how believing in any conspiracy makes you a believer in UFO's, Reptoids, Moon Landing Hoaxes, etc. But unfortunately quite a few conspiracy types like to surround themselves in a cloud of as many wacky theories as possible. I guess with all this info they will some day "get it", or be able to convince the world.

That's kind of what I try to do whenever I meet them. I either try to out crazy them, or make them think the people that they read are part of the conspiracy.

No no, look him right in the eye and say "I know, I'm one of them" and then fucking nail the gas and take the wrong exit while laughing maniacally.

:lol :lol :lol

I'll have to remember that move.

Maybe speak into a hidden mic in your shirt and say "Boys, we've got another one"
