    Conspiracy theorists aren’t actually truth seekers. They’re not out to discover the truth. They want to proclaim the truth and feel like special people who have hidden knowledge so they can feel superior. It’s all about their ego, their sense of security, and nothing else.

    All of this stuff is out in the open for all to see so the theorist nut jobs don’t get to feel special by trying to expose it.

        The good ones are lie finders… The shitty, usually conservative, ones like the post is talking about love to spew their own garbage “truths”… Definitely not truth seekers, just “truth” spewers

        Edit: like=lie

              I’ve never met one, but I have seen them on TV (documentary). They seem very keen to follow random posts on 4chan, but they question absolutely nothing.

              People that I’ve discussed conspiracy theories with usually don’t believe anything, even other conspiracies.
