Something made up by morons because they either lack understanding in political and scientific consensus, ergo disbelieving it to cover up the fact they aren't educated on those topics. In short, a conspiracy theory is made to make stupid
people feel more intelligent and scholarly, albeit the only sources they have gathered information from are either from
YouTube, Facebook, or some
satire hoax video or an article from a conspiracy website rather than an official source or fact checking their sources before blindly believing it. They won't research on both sides of the narrative because they are biased towards their narrative and prefer to cherry pick their evidence, e.g they won't
check for logical fallacies or contradictions, won't
check if the source has a
history of spreading misinformation, they won't bother checking the date of when the source was published, on this account they begin to spout shit that had already been disproved by professionals or those in
power. For those who are unable to differentiate between critical thinking and conspiracy theorism, conspiracy theorists tend to blindly follow a source, ironically they call their more intellectually superior counterparts
sheeple for blindly following the mainstream news, but they nevertheless follow an alternative source by some random
guy on social media or a conspiracy or pseudoscience article.
Idiot: Have you ever heard of "pLaNdEmIc?"
Educated person: Yes I have heard of the plandemic conspiracy theory, but because I actually took my time to search for errors in the source i.e logical fallacies, who created the video (an anti vaxxer) and research on what scientists had to say about it and according to the scientists, the vaccine is safe and I shall be having it when it is my turn. 😁
Idiot: Yeah
whatever dumb sheeple 💉🐑
So
don't be like the
idiot and be like the educated person because the educated person has done their critical thinking, used fact check sources such as
BBC reality check, researched the truth about vaccines on pro-science sources etc. If you are unsure of the type of websites you should be retaining facts from, try asking a professional i.e a doctor, librarian, teacher or a professor.
