It’s pretty obvious that if you are a blinkered radical, then everything is about you and your cult.

@return2ozma Dear god, it would be lovely if Americans actually realised that they're only about 5% of the world population, and not actually as important as they think they are.

As an American, I agree.

This is funny timing for me. I mentioned something related to my wife yesterday. When I was a kid, my perception of other countries was completely ridiculous. Low tech, uncivilized, impoverished, etc. compared to the USA. It took way too long for me to achieve a more realistic perspective of foreign countries at large. I’m not sure who to blame for this but the they surely belong to the previous generation or two.

Uh, I don’t follow. How does this impact Trump in any way whatsoever?

When you’re a delusional conspiracy theorists, anything is a direct attack on whatever you’re delusional about at the time. Trying to rationalize their train of thought is impossible

shortwavesurfer ,

Yeah, no, this makes no sense. However, I have in my life heard some conspiracy theories that were called conspiracy theories at the time that turned out to be true. So I’m not saying that it’s impossible.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

I am.

There are absolutely actual conspiracies, but this isn’t one of them. This in no way hurts or helps either candidate, even if it’s somehow a cyber attack (doubt it). Given that there was no real government response here, I don’t see any reason for the government to have colluded with this security company. I think it’s just an oops, and these things happen.

This is just an attempt to piggy-back off the news cycle and get another mention for your candidate. That’s literally all it is.

shortwavesurfer ,

I should have been more clear. This conspiracy theory is crazy. However, as I have heard conspiracy theories in the past that were labeled as conspiracy theories that turned out to be true, I’m not discounting all conspiracy theories just this particular one.

Telorand ,

Someone pointed out once that the conspiratorial nature of some people is exacerbated by the fact that the government does actually perpetrate real conspiracies. The people don’t inherently trust that the government acts in their best interest, because that trust has been broken often.

Conspiracy theorists are justified to be paranoid towards government actors, but they are not justified to invent facts for which there is little evidence and draw irrational conclusions upon the possibility of “being right.”

shortwavesurfer ,

Exactly

One problem with that is that he’s not a robot and his brain does not run crowd strike software. So that might be kind of difficult.
