    It’s always sad watching someone get a downvote by someone who hates facts, logic and reason. Conspiratards gonna tard.

      It doesn’t matter if you’re being truthful. If you’re being a smug dickhead and talking down to people to feed your sense of superiority, I will downvote.

      There are enough of those in the fediverse as it is, we don’t need any more incentives.

      And deniers of the obvious may continue sucking the CIA’s cock.

      But re Gary Webb. You are correct. He totally committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Twice.

        This, but unironically. That’s why his wife corroborates it.

        Here’s a clue to avoiding conspiracy theories: if it is something you really want to be true because it feels right, it probably isn’t true and is instead spread around by other people with that same feeling.

          Most conspiracy theories are bullshit, no doubt. But not all of them are, and it’s pretty hard to judge which might be true by the claims alone, because by nature they are pretty fantastical.

          In 1974 before the Church Committee revealed it, you’d have dismissed anyone telling you about MKUltra and I wouldn’t blame you.

          But it really did happen.

          Did Epstein kill himself? Probably? But the circumstances are definitely eyebrow raising…

      If you think Epstein’s death was not ridiculously suspicious, I’m sorry, you the tard.
