I like the /r/conspiracy subreddit. Good place to find Alternative Facts


An alternate fact means its not fact at all. Its an alternate to one. Holds no basis in truth
The question is which facts are real? Which ones hold no basis in the reality. As a certain person said "we accepts truths over facts". Does something proclaimed as "truth" mean its real?

Years ago, there was a movie about an idiot that created a religion, not by choice but by accident (it was a comedy). Everything he said was "truths" and people accepted his word and accepted his "truths". Enough of it was based on reality, so he got away with it (unintended of course, that was the comedy of it all). Just because someone proclaims something is a "truth" doesn't make it so. Nor does it mean what you think is fact is real.

I could give you "truths" about area 51, but since everyone is impossible to prove or disprove, and the fact that they are based in part on reality, there is no way to disprove my "truths". Would you accept them are reality? Just because someone gives you "facts" does not mean its real.

Just because there is a conspiracy, doesn't mean it does not exist.

Here is a real life example. In ww2, Hitler had some very loyal leaders. Some of them plotted to kill him in a conspiracy, because they were loyal to the country, not Hitler. The fact is they were loyal. The fact is, there was a conspiracy. The fact is, they failed and were executed for treason to hitler, not the country.

Hitler was certain of the loyalty of his officers and he was right, just not to whom or what.

This thread has come close to dipping its toes in political discussion in the last few pages, please let's keep the politics out of this going forward, please!
Its rather sad it has to be that way, because it can help people to understand both sides, but when you have someone with power that only wants one side to be heard, it ruins why could be a really interesting conversation.

In general, whilst I tend not to agree with most conspiracy theories, I think they provide an interesting perspective on issues. Certain ones, of course, hold more credibility than others; others are just egregious claims intended to amass a following/cause controversy.

I am a big believer in the current trend of social-media-based conspiracy theories being merely mechanisms for people to get 'five minutes of fame'. I've actually been subject to this myself - a nightmare that, whilst it only went on for a few days, left me feeling both offended and angry at the perpetrators (it was a curious incident involving the temporary rehoming of a stray/neglected cat). The amount of people who created conspiracies around the motive for taking the cat was incredible - and is something that I had to fight very hard to prove against. This forms part of my fervent disgust at social-media-spread conspiracy theories in general.

As I've said, though, a lot of them create an open perspective upon which to study further - which I am a big fan of. I tend to like doing lots of research on things, as well as understanding all sides of the argument, before making an informed position. This isn't so I can try to get 'one-up' on others, either - just the way I am: I actually like having informed discussions with people - and, if this means that I've got something wrong, then I'm happy to admit it - just with the right amount of proof, of course!
I like Volvos.

The fact that the moon is actually made of green cheese has been suppressed by the makers of Stilton Cheese to protect the prices charged for the deliciousness they provide.

I have a whole deck of cards full of truths deemed as conspiracy theories, well i'll assume the truth is too much for many :P

Here's one as ancient as they come, reincarnation/punishments from actions in one life carry over to your next. i'v lived 7+ times

^given i was a corruptionist as a judge in london england i may have played a roll in my death in another life, what if i helped fund the ships that sailed to my future life lands....also a reason even in this life i'm cursed. 99.99% of everyone who lives again forgets everything, but not me. I still have combat training that doesn't exist today, knowledge of how this earth works(it's a giant mystery box) and i somehow was given my mind set i had thousands of years ago. <--that mind set automatically analyses things/peoples actions/harm being done world wide.

I would most likely be deemed the biggest conspiracy theorist if i shared a small fraction on what i know;

Greed increases pollution, weakens technology etc. Now everyone's failures have caused the earth to create covid 19 to teach you your pollution can be fixed, your health care systems are weak based on monopoly's(i personally wouldn't be daft enough to only allow only the rich to became doctors, some of the best can't afford to, more doctors = safer living for all) .....and #1 failures to not design government ruling choice charts is going to cost so many deaths as covid 19 won't stop for years and years given "greed" is favoured over "life"

^those charts i mention is an addon to current systems i designed in few days that aid one to make choices, no matter who you are, what you think, these charts will plan out if said action is worth it. for example, does this benefit a company or the people/both? personal gains or the peoples?

Sadly covid 19 will cause change but lives lost will surpass my predictions, i knew people were daft, but to make the same mistake over n over, oh well, i knew of the mistakes before they were made..timer is counting down
