I don’t like the name, “conspiracy theorist.” I do not like to be called that. Because having a different opinion than the mass majority does not warrant something that has evolved into such a negative stereotype. The definition has been entirely skewed. Its now anyone who believes something the majority does not. The largest religion by number of people is christianity with 2.1 billion people, fallowed by Islam with 1.1 billion. Let’s just say I don’t believe in either one of these and loudly present my own beliefs. does that some how make me a crazy person? Does it make me a conspiracy theorist? Not at all. So what should you call a person like me. A person who questions the real story of 9/11. Who questions the media’s motives, and sees the dark future dominated by the New World Order. Thinking long and hard about it, I can not come up with the right word. I can not find a word to describe someone like me.
So when my brother sent me http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/11/AR2008041103296.html?nav=rss_print/outlook via email, I thought, “This is exactly what we…conspiracy theorists…have been looking for!” What ever you want to call us, we see this article as a break through. Says Nita Farahany, author of this article “Imagine a world of streets lined with video cameras that alert authorities to any suspicious activity…I’m not talking about science fiction here…It turns out we’re not so far away from that world.” She works for The Washington Post! A major, national newspaper. The article isn’t even berried deep inside the paper, it is in section B. People definatly saw it.
why don’t you like being called a conspiracy theorist? you have theories about conspiracies, so by definition that’s what you are. if you don’t think your theories are about conspiracy, or that your ideas about conspiracy aren’t theories, then what are they?
and what would you prefer to be called?
