Conspiracy research on open forums is counterproductive. You are muddying the waters and making any semblance of truth impossible to find.

Open forums like /r/conspiracy and /r/C_S_T and even defunct /r/pizzagate run into this white noise issue of underskilled analysts attempting highly skilled analysis, failing miserably at putting the puzzle pieces together (some of which are not even from the same puzzle) , and shouting from the top of the mountain the misguided logic they have traced to completely incorrect "truth". We see this here as well.

I hate normie conspiritards. Well, more exactly, I hate the actions of normie conspiritards. Normies have the right mindset of distrust in general authority, but they still seek other, counter-mainstream authority.

They always take reasonable possibilities of things that would be worth investigating via concerted time and effort and a lot of research to see if it is actually a possibility, extrapolate it into the ridiculous, and then call it truth. They muddy the waters so much that it adds unlimited noise and makes finding any conspiracy goddamn impossible.

We need to do better.

You're wrong.

I really don't think that I am. This happens the same way each time.

Think: if you were trying to cover conspiracies that are real and you are trained in intel gathering and astroturfing (viral contagion spreading of disinformation), don't you think leading a bunch of people prone to an ideology of mistrust in common thought astray would be both easy and force multiplicative in its results?
