[ilaksh]

The thing that most people don't realize is that the government will label real information as a conspiracy theory as an easy way to discredit it. So that word is actually an important propaganda tool. Once you realize.that, jokes.about.conspiracy theories arent so funny.

Yes, the government, with their ability to, you know, just label stuff. Just any old thing, slap a government label on it and Bob's your uncle.

Sure. The Man is remarkably well organised and has an endless fountain of resources—after all, he does print the money.

Lost direction in your life? Try the startling clarity of paranoid delusions. Soon you’ll be saying “It all makes sense!”

Yeah, wow - like how they can just label anyone a "terrorist" or "al queda sympathizer" - and simply with that label they are justifying the murder and imprisonment of these people.

Gee - they'd never do that would they?

[sc00ter → ilaksh]

That's just a conspiracy theory.
