lol sure. You are incredibly open for alternative, non-mainstream stuff. That's why you love /r/conspiracy[1] so much, don't you? Oh sorry, we are all 'tinfoil hats' and 'truthers' and whatever comes to mind.
Im just stating my experience now, so take it how you want. I saw conspiracys and all that the first in like, 7th or 8th grade? I believed some of it, was sad thats how the world is, how no one sees it, you probably know it. Lurked and sometimes commented on german boards, like http://www.weltverschwoerung.de/ (translated world conspiracy). Lurked and read many of that sites boards. Looked around, bought a book of Jesse Ventura, found it fascinating, wanted to know more.
Without sounding like a sob story, i read a thread about the plane who hit the pentagon. Some guy stated some intersting approaches, even said it flew over it and a missile hit it. That confused me. Than someone talked about all the wreckage of the plane at the pentagon. The same "flew-over-the-pentagon" user stated, there are no pics or not enough.
So some senior mod of these board posted to an facebook account who had hundreds of pics of the crash site. You could see all the parts of the plane, literally all my reasoning fell together.
I looked into more debunking stuff. Knowing both sides is not wrong, right? I lurked, read and learned, and for me, it was more convincing than the conspiracy theory with its many mistakes. So thats more or less the end of how i believed in the 9/11 conspiracy theorys.
No no no. I never said that you are a shill, and I would never dare to. It's against the rules!
Debunkers and shills advocating freedom of expression. Exciting times to be alive.
I dont know man, you just stated it in a comment to my comment. So i have to assume that you talking/writing to me. And i thought debunkers and shills is directed to me.
Yes, I know. Sadly there are shills who don't even get paid for their pro-establishment propaganda. They do it for free! Hell, you know what? Some don't even know that they actually are shills! Incredible, isn't it?
Thats something im curious about. What defines an unpaid shill? How can you determine who is a shill and isnt even aware of? Cause thats what i wanted to point out.
You and i dont hold the whole truth. Why do you think you have the moral higher ground to say, my opinion is worthless or completely wrong, what, for you, follows the explanation, im a shill who isnt even aware off?
pro-establishment propaganda
Can you decide what it is? How you do it? Its not an easy thing, so im interested how you can determine it.
I already know you don't emphasise let alone advocate free-speech. No need to say that again.
What exactly do i against free speech? Free speech is the right to not be censored or pursued for your opinion. It doesnt protect you from being ignored or made fun of on the internet. Even saying you are wrong is not violating free speech. Even censoring here on reddit, or brigading is no violation of free speech.
Ohh the mistery! You never know who hides behind an account. On the other hand, that's the nice thing about reddit, don't you think?
Sometimes its nice, sometimes i would like to know which racist dickhead is behind /r/coontown or /r/holocaust or something. But its the internet, so not that important IMO.
