>>24594935The US utterly swallows Israel power wise. I don't think much of this hidden mechanism style of thinking. The reality is obvious. Israel is an asset. A western station in the middle east. Why do you think we funded Iran? Did they blackmail us too?
>counter-evidence was providedAn image with text on it was provided - formatting something as evidence doesn't make it so. I'm happy to dive into it. What do you consider neglected? I gave an explanation of what was wrong.
The image portrays enough things that are true - but it is not evidence of anything like Israeli control of America or Epstein.
Be serious for a moment. Do you believe that being involved, and being in control, are not distinct?
An Israeli gave Epstein a gift. Among others that have done this, you have given precedence to the Israeli in particular - this is a choice in pursuit of a specific conclusion.
If you dislike Israelis, you have plenty to chew on. This shouldn't come at the expense of thinking straight. That image does not bear a line of reasoning, like most conspiracies it's a loose implication of a story while trying to incense the predisposed reader.
>reddit spacing temper tantrum.lol whatever the fuck that means
>you're making a strawman, anti-conspiracist generalist argument.No I actually consider this important, I'm bothered by conspiracy thinkers, I talk about it often.
There is an essential principle behind this. The suspicion of control and hidden systems. The problem here - intellectually or psychologically - is obvious. There are after all, two kinds of conspiracy: Disasters, assassinations, and other singular events that require minimal conclusion are not all that bold. Most surprise attacks for instance - October 7th, 9/11, Pearl Harbor and so forth - are probably known about in advance, and permitted as a pretense to war. Governments and Elites are abundantly involved in all sorts of nefarious activities.
Conspiracies become a problem in the same way any other theory does. Increasingly elaborate, additional assumptions, relying on conjecture. It is conjecture to say that different pieces of information - like Ghislaine Maxwell's grandfather being involved with a Jew, and Epstein being involved with a Jew - are part of a single motion persisting across generations, as opposed to being two events. It's neither an extraordinary assumption nor a given, but conspiracy theories rely on these ambiguities. Similar to making it seem as though they titled a plane "Lolita Express" before gifting it, instead of acknowledging that it earned that name after the fact.
>If you were actually a philosopher, and read the likes of analytical conspiracy theory-theory, you'd know the difference between warranted and unwarranted conspiracy theories, and not make retarded arguments like this.So what am I wrong about? I gave my reasons. I'm happy to give up the shit flinging.
