I live in one of the North Eastern States of India and can proudly say that there are not enough people like me in this world who don't believe in the Bible, Quran, Gita, Torah and every other religious book. I prefer science and logical reasoning but I can't understand why despite the deployment of more than 60,000 Indian troops in my state, I can't understand why bombs continue to fall near my home. Can any conspiracy theorist explain why my India is not able to stop the Kuki terror networks who are dropping bombs from drones made in China ? Are Chinese drones really powerful?
@@PremierCCGuyMMXVI you agree with intensifying a f°°cist military crackdown on a rural ethnic minority in india? or did you not understand that that was the point of the comment?
I think you nailed it when you said both halves of American people are looking at each other through the Looking Glass that's distorted. Both sides really do have the same ideas about what is wrong and what to do about it and how to fix it, but they're separated by party and now by a person who wasn't even in a party but is only in it for power. And since 2020 it's hard to know what is real anymore or even the meaning of "real " from whoever is speaking their version. SOS from America!
I think this podcast misses a significant feature of the "conspiracy phenomenon," and that is the _stratification_ of social media consumers (i.e., users). In the broadest strokes, there are conspiracy believers and conspiracy scoffers. The major issue is not opposing conspiracies, it is the intellectually pliant versus the critical thinkers, fantasists vs realists. And there are layers within those. The question isn't what will the labile do, the question is, how to pull them back in---when logic is _not_ the answer. While social media provides some insight, it is not, itself, a tool by which one can take a deep dive into any population's psyche. The mob that attacked the Capitol was exactly that---an ineffective, leaderless mob---not the vanguard of an army. The cream of the crazies were drawn together by the lunatic-in-chief; of course they will continue to rant (19:22). They're off their meds.
The two biggest factors that can psychologically be considered to be factors that lead someone to become a conspiracy theorist is exposure and insecurity. Even being a scoffer, is one of the ways in which you eventually start to believe in some.
@@generybarczyk6993 no frankly I just watched a youtuber invite his psychology professor friend, but he has deleted his youtubechannel, that was dedicated to debunking these theories, and this is my best takeaway. One real life example I know is someone that was not exactly thinking that covid is a fake disease, but they had one coworker that would spam everyone with conspiracy stuff about it, so that eventually they were hesitant to get the vaccine, not because they are an unreasonable person, but because being bombarded by info like that on a daily basis has an impact. The skeleton of a conspiracy theory is always about these details of information that, if you were to decontruct the thing properly you'd need a PHD in several topics. Arguing against that is extremly difficult because of that. The core of it always is that some shadowgovernment is actually messing with us, and the issue is really in t his time that we have constant exposure to misinformation and the governments are not encouraging a lot of confidence in the system. Conspiracy theorists have been thriving in this environment. The answer to the question is that with time, you are going to believe enough of it but it's not like all of us will be conspiracy theorists one day, but the chance of us eventually buying into one of these is high.
@@generybarczyk6993 my response got removed... I try again. No I don't think, that thing I heard a psychology professor say, is like an applicable rule set in stone. I think we live in a time where we experience a lot of exposure to these theories, and simultaneously, when we live in governments that don't make us feel in power of our decisions or fail us during something like a pamdemic, which inevitabely encourages insecurity, it is not surprising that you suddenly have a noticeable rise in people that opt for conspiracy theories.
And to some US voters, facts don't matter. And the filter bubble of "social" networks providethem with what they want: Stories confirming what they already "know" is right. Even if it's all fake news or "alternative facts".

One of the worst part of politics now is the mud slinging. There was a time when the candidates would run on there goals for if they are elected. Today they run on trashing eachother. Who knows the plans any candidate has?
"mud slinging" in US politics goes back to the founders in 1776, even Alexander Hamilton wrote anonymous pamphlets about his opponents. Nixon is famous for his "pink sheets" against his congressional opponents and "rat f'ing" in his 1972 campaign against Muskie. Pls!

You can say alot of things about the United States but we are never boring. This feels like the 3rd installment in a movie trilogy. In part one, a candidate believes the White House is hers until a dark horse celebrity real estate "mogul" takes the election. In Part 2, a worldwide virus effectively knocks the President out of the White House, but he vows revenge as his supporters attack the Capitol. And finally in Part 3, he has his eyes on the ultimate power seat again, vowing to never relinquish it and is on his way to victory until he makes the horrible mistake of debating his old feeble opponent too early allowing a younger woman of color to replace him. Her polls surge. She now leads. If he loses, he faces prison time. What will happen next? What is the fate of this election and America. Whichever way, the fallout will terrify you. Get your popcorn ready.
You're script is good, however the "young" opponent is 60 years old, a baby-boomer, and not winning in swing states, in fact, the polls look much like they did in 2016, with Wisconsin slowly turning to the GOP.
So the the British people, who are forced to pay for the BBC, may not see this video?

@@corneliahanimann2173 Thank you for the further explanation.
Fact checking is redundant how?
MAGA's will not accept facts. Fact checking doesn't make any impact on them because they "believe" whatever their Orange God-King tells them.
Americans have made fact checking a part of politics.
And to some US voters, facts don't matter. And the filter bubble of "social" networks providethem with what they want: Stories confirming what they already "know" is right. Even if it's all fake news or "alternative facts".
