The best part about conspiracy theorists is that they throw so many numbers and three letter acronyms out there that the lack of sources for any claim is sort of forgotten because of antisemitism. Or the opposite, they'll just word soup their way into getting someone on board, numbers or not.

There's this vibe behind any good conspiracy that is only based on feelings, like you'd expect. Because there isn't any merit to most of them, like: this is so bad because it cost a bajillion of taxpayers' money ever single day! Or just think what that might cost and what if all of that enormous cost, I mean it must cost right? What if that cost went into education?

Another great corner stone of any conspiracy is to look into the past and link unrelated events together. Classic.

#Love reading some of the and go #Wow they think they can just say something like this and just never actually provide proof?#huh #Wow my thesis would have been so easy if I could have done that #I'm not saying I don't debate people who actually have opposing views without handing me a list of resources first #But I am saying if you are to make broad statements you should be prepared to back them up with reliable sources #Also practice making your arguments falsifiable practice at making statements that can be contested via research #And then you might claim that your arguments are more solid #Until such time you are just a person with views on events and no truth to peddle
