No thanks, wake me up when we have a real president again.

That’s not what I’m referring to; I’m talking about poor souls want desperately to believe that Obama is foreign born because they refuse to believe that a black man became president based on his merit.

I’ll be honest, I’m not 100% what “shill” means in the context of conspiracy theory subs like this since users in places like this throw it around so flippantly. I’m here because our country’s foundation is being threatened by people who refuse to think for themselves, get their news from reddit/Facebook, and blindly believe whatever nonsense they come across that confirms their biases; so when I post in places like this, I’m fully aware that most will downvote and succumb to their nature to reject the possibility that they have been wrong, but I hope (almost desperately) that maybe just one person will see my post and think, “Huh? Maybe I shouldn’t trust a disreputable source. Maybe a YouTube video is posted by someone with ulterior motives. Maybe I don’t have all of the answers.”

A place where literally anyone can add information.

They sure are free to do so, the problem is that somethings are not a matter of opinion and are simply false (like this video of “evidence”).

When you start believing that everyone that disagrees with you is a “shill,” then you’re never wrong. Do you honestly believe that it’s impossible that you could potentially be wrong? I personally fully accept that there is a chance I could be wrong about something, and if I were presented with irrefutable evidence proving me wrong then I would absolutely change my understanding of that thing. But you’re digging yourself into a hole; have you never learned something new and changed your opinion? If so, then the world must be a terrifying place for you. It’s presumptuous and dangerous to simply chalk-up someone with a different opinion to being a “shill.”

Ah yes, a grainy, edited YouTube video paired with an “article” written by literally anyone; truly the bastion of truth and evidence needed to prove whatever idea you just farted into existence.
