You know that Post Office thing that's been in the news a bit recently, do you know what that was once branded as? Yep you've got it- A conspiracy theory.
Being easily lead and lacking capacity to make an informed decision could lead to some people "going down the rabbit hole" but the same flaws make people at the opposite end of the spectrum go - "oh yes there's no way the post office did that, have you not seen they arrested several postmasters!?"
I think it's best to accept that there will be some "conspiracy theory's" that are close or closer to the truth than the accepted narrative. There have been countless examples that prove this over time so I whilst I can understand dismissing some, those who just dismiss all without actually weighing up the evidence available and making an informed decision are just as barking as those that wear tin foil hats.

Re: Joey Barton Speaks Out
Based on a few posts on this thread? Ok then.
That’s fine, it’s up to him if he wants to block me because of my viewpoints on the vaccines. I would have much rather him message me directly if he has an issue with anything I am saying rather than hiding behind a username which he did at the time. I’ve no issues with him or any axe to grind.

Re: Joey Barton Speaks Out
Of course some 'conspiracy theories' turn out to be true. However, some crackpots believe every single conspiracy going; from 9/11 being an inside job, to 'chemtrails', to Covid being fake etc... And when that happens, they lose all credibility, thus, me calling you a crackpot.
Re: Joey Barton Speaks Out
I don't disagree with this at all. It's all about making an informed opinion and being able to hold balanced views, which those you have mentioned above surely do not. But neither do the people who just dismiss anything because it's not the official line.

Re: Joey Barton Speaks Out
Thanks for your intelligent input.
Would you care to elaborate or did one word expand your intellect for the day?
Re: Joey Barton Speaks Out
Well yes...and no.
Obviously it was just a recent example, and I can't pinpoint a day in time where someone said "this is a conspiracy theory". But logic and evidence suggests that's exactly how it was treated.
For example Postmaster X is charged but says he did nothing wrong. The community then ostracised Postmaster X because they didn't believe that the post office was at fault. Postmaster X then kills himself because everyone thinks he's making it up and he's been ostracised by his community. 20 years later it's finally admitted that the postmasters did nothing wrong except be a victim of crappy software and yet the full legal system, their community and the majority of people in this country believed they were at fault and the post office was nothing to do with it.
This is the definition of a conspiracy theory: A conspiracy theory is an explanation for an event or situation that asserts the existence of a conspiracy by powerful and sinister groups.
I'd argue this fits the definition perfectly. A powerful organisation covered up the truth and there was a theory/explanation that did not fit the official narrative. I don't doubt that some people doubted that narrative, but you don't think everyone did do you?
Just to mention I'm not a conspiracy theorist myself, I just enjoy these kind of debates. (Well aside from the response from the guy above)

Well, why?Awayfromburnley wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 6:36 pmIt was a monumental and despicable set of events. Alas, that doesn't make it a conspiracy theory.
I don't think you can go back in hindsight and say it wasn't because it turned out to be true.
Up until recently many people have challenged, and have continued to challenge the official line- With resistance And that's especially important because it shows people did not believe them.
How does that not meet the criteria for being a conspiracy theory? I mean I've already googled it and you can see that term has been used about it in various media sources over the years anyway.

Re: Joey Barton Speaks Out
As I have said previously, masks are next to useless to prevent transmission or infection from an airborne virus. Anyway don't listen to me, listen to the 'experts'. Please watch the short video clip and pay particular attention to the last 20 seconds or so. This will explain to you why the global policy on mask wearing changed and it had absolutely nothing to do with public safety.Jakubclaret wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 6:21 pmI know it sounds just as crazy as people believing that the masks didn't protect people from COVID transmission totally deranged or what!

The general idea was to stop the spread or at least try to minimise it & the masks were 1 of the measures to implement amongst others such as social distancing. The measures when combined together reduce the likelihood nobody ever said masks alone will solve everything & I would still wear 1 today if I was around vulnerable people.fidelcastro wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 9:23 pmThe vaccine doesn't stop you from getting COVID or passing it on.
