Most of them are just uneducated imo. I had a scary argument a few days ago with someone about the covid vaccine, they started sending me data insisting it proved that the vaccine is causing a rise in deaths, but what they actually sent me were stats from the ONS which showed the numbers of those who died with COVID who were vaccinated vs those who were unvaccinated over a certain time period, and shock horror, around 80% of those who died were unvaccinated. Anyway, I literally said to them do you not realise that what you’ve just sent me actually supports the argument that the vaccine is actually effective? At which point they just started jeering at me, personally insulting me and telling me not to ‘live in denial’. I just thought, you don’t have to be an epidemiologist to conclude from this data (which YOU yourself have sent me) that it means the vaccine prevents covid deaths? How the hell are you reading it and coming to the complete *opposite* conclusion?Sums it up really.
Though I'd add that, in addition to seeing themselves as rebels in a science fiction movie, some of them seem to think they're superheroes, too. Obviously not due to physical strength, but the fact they see themselves as 'rescuing' the masses from themselves.
They also have very lofty views of themselves, with comments like "we're the only ones who can see it, we're part of the few". They act like super intelligence is required and that anyone who doesn't buy into CTs is just too thick to get it.
They can also have a bit of a victim complex - eg the recent talk of unvaccinated people being treated like Jews during the Holocaust - which is an attempt to tug at heartstrings. I think that's done because they realise they're failing to convince people with their wild theories, so they think making themselves look like poor downtrodden people will change minds instead.
I know some people say this thread is solely about mocking conspiracy theories and theorists, but it's not just that, it's also about understanding why they think the way they do. How do they get drawn into it all?
Idk I know it’s not the PC thing to say, but I just think a lot of them are either uneducated and lacking critical thinking skills or just genuinely thick as fucking pig shite.
