He also said that, “Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts.”

So if he had also spoken against the western influence, and thus hated America, does that make him a liberal?

It means if you can call a spade a spade you are labelled a conspiracy theorist.

Yeah, and until there is evidence, it’s just nut jobs making things up. Even if they might be right sometimes, does not mean the Earth is a flat.

No. It's not about people making things up. That's a misnomer. It's about the obvious liars where if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, and you think it's a duck, they call you a A CONSPIRACY THEORIST!!!! The whole conspiracy theorist trope is a misnomer used buy the guilty to avoid accountability. Plain and simple.

Yeah, but the problem is when people ignore the facts and believe if it looks, walks, quacks like a duck but someone tells you it’s an orange or ask how can you trust a source that claims it’s a duck.

You are trying to say the word, which is basically another word for extremist, alarmist, if not an outright liar who believes a lie and spreads it has no meaning. Has no basis for critique. If we believed every conspiracy theorist, again, the Earth would be flat, socialism works, and Trump won the 2020 election. None of those claims add up to anything remotely resembling the truth.

You have described the people who are not critical thinkers, the sheeple who judge truth for lies based on identity politics whereby if you disagree with them you are a conspiracy theorist but if you agree with them and their conspiracy theories of say Russian collusion, WMDs, that in 1999 the sea level will rise 20 feet by 2020 etc you are not a conspiracy theorist. They do not base their opinion on evidence and facts but rather what they are told by their superiors. Your hypocrisy is evident.

You’d think if I was a hypocrite, I wouldn’t include say the people who claim socialism works were conspiracy theorists.

If their superiors are actually experts, and what they say is not dredge that’s solely from politicians, special interest groups, commercialism, any kind of media, or foreign propaganda, then it’s probably a fact.

Russia actually did collude with the Trump campaign. People went to jail. It’s a fact.

Naturally, the deep state political tools got pardoned.

The reports of the sea level rising are fact and are on record including the predictions. The difference is while the more exaggerated overestimates hit the tabloids, they’re not too far off. They’ve claimed they’d actually rise a couple of centimeters to about less than half a foot for the next ten years. Which wasn’t too far off.

Averages and means change and can minimally exaggerate any figures but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Or that it hasn’t accelerated in the past century.

Even Republicans have stopped with the partisan talking point that climate change is a hoax to moving the goal post back and saying that moving away from fossil fuels too rapidly could hurt the economy.

And they, the Republicans, are right!

So, no. Stating facts alone doesn’t make you a conspiracy theorist. Stringing unrelated facts together might. Correlation is not proof of causation.

I.E. Trump has more followers than Biden, Trump has larger crowd sizes than Biden, so Trump must have more votes than Biden. Biden won so Biden must have cheated! While there is logic to this, it misses many key variables and no facts back that up other than what I just stated. I’d be happy to discuss it more if you need me to.

I’m always happy to do so unless you want to just namecall and whine which would also be quite hypocritical of you if you did so.

And since I can see you already assuming I’m some leftist liberal because I don’t believe what obviously corrupt politicians who want power say, like Trump, I will remind you of two things,

One, I’m a Republican.

Two, I don’t trust the government. Which includes those I vote for.

Just because I don’t trust them doesn’t mean I’m going to make shit up either.

Look, if any suspicion of anything nefarious due to evidence or motives makes you a conspiracy theorist, then not being a conspiracy theorist makes you a gullible f**k wit who will buy FTX, p**is enlargement pills off porn sites, time share, stock recommended by CNBC's Jim Cramer and get quadruple boostered and die of myocarditis and deserve it coz you'd be a total f**k wit. 'Conspiracy theorist" is an ad hominem to avoid accountability for dirty deeds. Plain and simple.

Hypocrite it is then.
