Party leadership has been criticized for not effectively weeding out poor contenders, with Reform UK announcing an apology after a candidate who had died was dropped by the party. A new review finds that only some methods to counteract conspiracy beliefs are effective. Two more extremist candidates from Reform UK, Jonathan Kay and Mick, have been revealed. The Reform leadership’s paid actor theory seems to play well with the conspiracy nutter element in their base.
Conspiration theories appear to gratify three major needs: the need to understand (epistemic need), the need to engage with people who spread them, and the need to question mainstream science. Jordan Peterson, a respected academic and author, became a controversial internet star by opposing political correctness and transgender rights. Neil has campaigned for Reform UK, a populist, right-wing party founded with support from Nigel Farage.
A new review finds that only some methods to counteract conspiracy beliefs are effective. Since the pandemic began, the spread of misinformation has seemed more contagious than COVID-19. Experts and r/ChangeMyView subreddit moderators offer 10 tips to debunk conspiracy theories convincingly and kindly. House Democrats and Republicans didn’t agree on much during public hearings held as part of the impeachment inquiry into President Trump.
Humans are inherently stubborn, and it’s difficult to remove the belief from our hearts when we end up believing something with our whole hearts. A CMU philosophy professor specializes in conspiracy theories offers ideas for talking to relatives who traffic in them. As the pandemic has taken a grip, so have the misinformation spreaders. Five ways to spot holes in their logic are provided. Beliefs in conspiracy theories can damage societies and individuals, but the only effective ways to counter them are impractical.
📹 David Icke talks conspiracy theories – BBC News
David Icke is asked about conspiracy theories around 9/11 and lizards in Buckingham Palace. The former footballer and TV …
📹 TikTok Conspiracy Theories
Thank you for watching! my ig: https://www.instagram.com/thechadx2/ my twitter: https://twitter.com/thechadx2.
talking to lizard controlled media about lizards. You can just tell by the underlying rudeness and sneaky softly spoken insults, like the one ”but it IS crazy” after icke just said: saying that the world is controlled by lizards is to uncontextual for that to just be spoken out with no context… They have got Icke where they want him. they still make him seem like a crazy dude. and with every word he says he gets undermined. i dont think anyone will ever cross the line of revealing whats really up in this world. its just to perfectly setup for our 70/80 year lifespans to grasp how we are getting fucked in the ass every day by who knows what. And even if you spend your 80 years revealing anything, you just come back to the same loop of having walked around for 80 years doing nothing but making people see the obvious. And ever tought any further then that? if they have us under controll for over thousands of years and ”are” a million year old civalization, then they probably have a reset button ready for all of us. So revealing them probably is a doom-event on itself.. All of these toughts sometimes just makes me think just ”LIVING” is the way to go. ignore all the spoonfed propganda you get fed since birth. Try to get homeschooled with the best information available. Try and get a family tree that seperated themselfs from this nonsense ratgame this world has become (like the rothchilds or any Elite family does this anyways). And just live to your ideals.. or die i guess, maybe the Egyptians had a point in saying that dying is the most significant thing a human will ever accomplish.
Yeah sure, a bunch of Saudi terrorists simultaneously highjack 4 planes, in the most heavily guarded air spaces in the world, on the very day that Norad are doing a training exercise on terrorists high jacking airplanes and fly one into the pentagon where they just so happened to be working on the $2.3 TRILLION unaccounted in the budget, and also successfully took down 3 buildings with 2 planes in New York, and then somehow managed to blame it on Iraq. Hmmmm, makes the mind boggle.
David Icke, has got more balls then the others questioning his sanity, still that’s what I call brain-dead. Most people do not like David because they can not face the fact that the politicians and news agencies lie through their teeth, as long as it suits their agenda. Anyone saying the earth was round,was killed, not so long ago. Frequencies! How many are there? C’mon,tell me!!!!!!!😅
A theory is a well-substantiated explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can incorporate laws, hypotheses and facts. David is constantly using the term as if it is a guess. What strikes me is fact that he earns millions by talking and writing something that is not supported by any evidence.Yet again, we live in society where people worship gods…
7 years on and Icke has proved to be spot on. When this was recorded, I had enormous respect for Andrew Neil. Since his ignorant and nasty denigration of those who refused the Covid vaccine (derided by the msm as conspiracy theorists), I have nothing but contempt for him and know orhers feel the same. Icke is the only one with any integrity in this segment.
For those curious about the mosquito with numbers on it, for starters, its a silver birch aphid, not a mosquito. These insects naturally have two black stripes on there abdomen. They are not always perfect stripes, resulting in it looking like numbers or even letters. The more you know. Edit: I also want to add that although a majority of our ocean is “unexplored,” that word doesn’t mean what you think. When scientists talk about how much of our ocean is explored, they are referring to if the ocean floor has been mapped and how well. A majority of our ocean is large stretches of flat ground. Henceforth, scientists, and especially governments, don’t want to waste multiple years and millions, if not billions, of dollars mapping out essentially nothing. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, our oceans will remain mostly unmapped, because scientists have better things to do.
In 1999, televangelist Jerry Falwell claimed Tinky Winky was a “gay role model” because he carried a purse. This was 24 years ago, so my memory is hazy, but someone associated with the show said something like, “These characters don’t have genders and that’s a magic bag, not a purse.” My best friend is a devout Christian and he rolled his eyes over this whole thing but said his grandparents honestly believed the theory. Parents and adults looking too deep into children’s programming is one of the most unintentionally funny things ever.
3:53 I doubt anyone was particularly curious about it, but if you do want to know about the top latch, I worked at a place with similar doors. The top latch has a lever at normal person height (you can actually see it in the article) to close the latch with. It’s just high up because that’s a better position for withstanding wind pressure (these doors can actually be insanely dangerous in high wind conditions). If that doesn’t make sense, imagine how much easier it would be to break a door down if the lock was only a foot off the ground. Other than that, the Giants thing totally holds up, ofc.
as an aspiring entomologist that ‘mosquito’ one has to be the stupidest thing i’ve ever heard. first off, that’s not a mosquito. mosquitos are much lankier, much larger, and have a VERY obvious proboscis. what the tiktoker found was two diffrent European birch aphids (Euceraphis punctipennis). these aphids have two distinct black markings on their abdomens and, like all markings, differ with each animal. it’s a case of complete coincidence and human pattern seeking as to why they would have a ‘38’ on them. this phenomenon has also been observed on any animal that can have a varying coat pattern.
The biggest conspiracy theory at my primary school was that the Telly Tubbies was cancelled because someone died on set, because they couldn’t unzip their suit in time and suffocated 🙃. Now, over a decade later, a bunch of adults are making up even dumber conspiracies to spread online… I mean I’ll let it slide on my end considering I was like 8, and had pretty restricted access to the internet, but there’s no excuse at this point. (I mean at least make the conspiracy theories good, these ones have terrible storylines…)
I’ve been binging your articles and ran out yesterday. I nearly cried and then actually died, came back to life, and died again due to shock. I simultaneously witnessed the birth and death of the universe, discovered and lost the cure to cancer, and became a professional ceramic bird figurine critic. This article saved me from what is undoubtedly the most damning of all fates– a lack of Chad Chad content. Thank you, great and powerful Chad, for saving me from myself. Chad or chadn’t, there is no chy. Long live the cheen
when my younger sister and i were kids, she used to tell me about her “conspiracy theory” that jimmy fallon was actually jimmy kimmel, just with the name changed because every time jimmy kimmel would say his own name, dogs would come over to him thinking he said “kibble”, and he got so fed up with it that he changed his name to jimmy fallon. long story short i believed her for over a year which i think was in part because i hardly knew anything about kimmel or fallon. we were very weird children 😭😭😭
I once went for a walk in a village in far north Scotland, and there was a chip shop with a blackboard on the front which included basically every conspiracy theory ever conceived in list form. It covered two whole blackboards and I’m honestly quite impressed that they managed to cover almost every conspiracy theory I can think of. I told my grandma who lives nearby about it and she said the owner of this chippy has some kind of laser thing she shines into the sky at night for… reasons? When the Queen died a few months later the chippy made national news after celebrating the death loudly because the queen is a lizard person or something, and then if I remember correctly the whole village threw eggs at her shop.
9:39 I really don’t find the lizardpeople conspiracies funny because I’m Jewish, and I am acutely aware that “lizard people” is literally a euphemism for Jewish people. Look at all the anti-semitic conspiracies and compare them to the lizardpeople conspiracies, they’re the exact same ones. Also, more often than not it’s celebrities that are Jewish, or anti-semites claim are Jewish, that are apparently “lizard men.” For example, the theory that these lizard people eat human children is just the blood libel, one of the most pervasive anti-semitic myths which purports that Jews kidnap Christian children and use their blood to make matzah. TBH most conspiracy theories are just thinly veiled anti-semitism.
Because no one answered this I’ll do it. The reason why the doors are so “huge” was because it was the design aesthetic at the time that if a room is large that the door had to be equally large (TLDR: Because it looks good). As for the latch being so high up, so every person and their grandmother cannot simply bar the door.
This makes me remember when teletubbies got into some hot water after lots of kids were getting injured as they were trying to copy the teletubbies by jumping into open sewer holes. I think it also made my parents stop indulging me and my sister with teletubbie stuff. no more perusal the show and no more teletubbie toys T T it was my favorite show as a kid.
4:22 The creator of the TikTok will also be mind blown if they see a picture of a kids amusement park in Sweden (Astrid Lindgrens värd), where there’s a place made to look like the house of a giant. Haven’t been there since I was a kid, so maybe a bit more than 20-23 years ago, but I remember the giants house really well. It’s a park where areas are based on kids stories by Astrid Lindgren
When I was a child I had a series of horrible nightmares about the teletubbies… I made myself cry multiple times at summer camp because I was so paranoid that the camp counselor would call me to say I was getting picked up, only to see a teletubby there, ready to kill me after he’d already got my mom… Honestly should have realized I was mentally ill way earlier lol
7:56 i have talked to the blonde women personally, and bought a past life reading from her. i was 16 and in psychosis and she told me i was princess leia in a past life. i have never watched star wars. it was my birthday present, (about 110$) but she didn’t charge us because i was a kid. at the time i believed some crazy things and i was still so confused. a little fun note she thinks she is lucifer and her friend is archangel micheal and that they solved the war between heaven and hell
The worst part of these ridiculous conspiracy theories is that corruption does exist and powerful people do awful things for real. These “conspiracy theorists” make it difficult to reveal truly bad behavior and real nefarious plans. Plus it’s disrespectful to the victims of actual conspiracies. Edit: Someone needs to send Wendigoon the articles about doors for giants.
I actually love tellitubies episodes where we get to watch the screen on their bellies. That’s usually where they show recordings of visiting a museum, bakery/food-making, etc. Basically a field trip but through tellitubies. It was so fun learn about a lot of stuff and what other kids are doing for recreational purpose and hobbies. I also love the episodes where they eat the pink goop. I love perusal the goop go through the various stages of the machine. Not all episodes have them, but if we’re lucky, we’ll get one. Or even both of those segments in one episodes. Ah, good times.
My mom’s been real into conspiracy theories lately. She thinks everyone (and I mean literally EVERYONE) is a devil worshipping baby killer pedophile. She’s stopped listening to music and I can’t even talk about movies because she’ll be like “they’re probably devil worshipping baby killers. They all are.” 💀 Guys I’m becoming the waterboy
Why does CHAD CHAD move HER HANDS at the end of EVRERY article and saying “Clicking on my articles out of all articles”… ??? 12:41 what does it mean? why the palm of her hand moves like that to the right side?? YOU THINK THIS IS A CONICIDENCE?? I THINK NOT!!! I’m gonna make a tiktok article to make people aware of THIS!
i just wanted to say that i love the cold opens/hard cut to the title card or whatever that might be called, like it’s a simple change but it weirdly has a lot more impact. Also: the first conspiracy, the one about the robots? That’s like almost literally the plot of Isaac Asimov’s “Little Lost Robot” although I don’t think the robot kills anyone, it’s just capable of defying one of the 3 laws of robotics and when some scientists are tasked with finding it and correcting its programming, it manages to hide in a huge amount of robots who all look identical to it who presumably don’t have the same flaw and the scientists have to figure out a way to get this robot to identify itself. It’s really neat! Also, you know, not real. But neat nonetheless.
the weirdest conspiracy I’ve ever been involved in: It was take your kid to work day, so my mom drove me to work with her. While we were driving home, we noticed something odd in the sky. It looked like a black blimp that was upside down, suspended in air. My mom and I looked around, and no one was perusal. they were all on their phones. As we drove by it, it seemed to follow us. When we went back the next day, it was gone. Multiple images online looked exactly the way it looked. Was it a UFO? Will we ever know?
The thing that gets me about most kids show conspiracies is that 99% of the time they’re kinda just- ‘hey, one time I heard a guy point out that the ponies from my little pony living under a monarchy is actually a dark reference to ancient satanic rituals. This is of course supported by the fact that citizens of monarchies worship their rulers kinda like how cultists worship satan. I can’t believe a kids show is this dark guys omg’
As someone from Pennsylvania I do have to say our portal to mars is a very fun tourist attraction! Sometimes our buddies the little green men come out of it to trade mars rocks, dust, and cool little worms for our trees, deer and sometimes some tech decks! Edit: I forgot to mention that it’s a very big misconception about the reptilians, you see they actually make up half of Pennsylvania. They are actually very kind and do not eat children. They’re from mars and really dig jerky! Also we don’t shoot rockets through the portal to mars, we drive our jeeps.
the bug thing is easy, entomologists number bugs like this to track migration. sometimes will even offer cash rewards if you say where you found it. back in early 2000s there was a hunt for cockroaches with barcodes on them. an example of implementing this tactic is to get an idea of how many return to breeding grounds.
They haven’t explored 80% of the sea, but they do have a loose idea of what the bottom of the sea is like in terms of shape and such. They can scan it and get a general idea of “OK so that trench there is that deep and those rocks are only that far down from the surface. They just haven’t been able to get cameras down to all of it to be able to say that, oh, those rocks there are definitely hydrothermal vents and that unusual shape there was actually the wreckage of a 17th century trading ship that sank a few centuries ago and has now rotted and been colonised beyond being recognised as a boat anymore.
“tHE MooN LanDINg isNT ReAL, thEy fALl oVEr toO MUch” …so, you’re telling me that you’d be able to a) Handle walking in a microgravity setting, using muscles tuned for a planet many, many times larger than where you are currently standing while also b) wearing nearly 300lbs of bulky suit that would restrict your dexterity & ability to keep your balance without tripping and falling? Once?
It seems that many people don’t understand the definition of “conspiracy.”. It simply means some people plotting to commit a crime or harmful act. There is a class of crimes in American law that entails conspiracies of various types. By extension, it would only be common sense that rich and powerful people conspire to increase their wealth and influence.
Look. The best way to explain what that girl was trying to say is… you rip a bit of sponge and set it on the water. Put a cup upside down over it and push it under the rest of the water. Her belief (and alot of other peoples) is that the sponge represents the land. The water outside the cup represents space and the water in the cup represents the ocean. If you want to get to space, in their model, you have to go down into the water in the cup until you are in the water outside of the cup. That it’s the same water… but separated by the cup and the air is trapped within whatever boundary (they say firmament) is there. Easy to understand. Maybe not very probable or likely but not a hard conspiracy to understand logically.
I refuse to believe that Florida is a real place because of the shit that goes on down there. I heard that a Florida man threw a LIVE GATER into a Wendy’s drive through window. (keep in mind that I am joking. sort of. yes, i am joking. i most definitely didn’t need to convince myself i was joking, stop looking at me like that)
