'they' are cracking down on 'fake news' with their algorithms to mostly pull from 'trusted media'. They are in full damage control after losing the election

There has to come a point where the person just wont believe any big news about an important topic. Then it doesnt really matter any more if you can find some info or not, because you already know that the new horrible thing that has happened, is fake or just orchestrated and serves a agenda. I dont even pay any attention to the shootings, politics etc, its all show, its all bullshit and it doesnt really matter what are the details, you can get lost in the details. Just my .02c.

You need to go to the Flat Earth and "Outer Space hoax" channels to find the real conspiracy community now. Until people get to that level they are just being jerked around by the system. We are in a spiritual battle and everything else is a distraction from that.

I'm not sure the push-back from TPTB against forums like conspiracy isn't just their frantic evacuation of the "truth" space and preparation of the "NewThink" space. They must have known that as soon as 9/11 disbelief grew past 50% of Americans (now) they would be dealing with an electorate, not a cell.

I like how flat earth started out as a psyop but now is the only movement that questions everything. Its filled with people who know nothing about physics, added in some fear mongering and stuff, but yes you might be right. All those politic conspiracies, assassinations and all else on that similar vein, its all just bouncing around in the allowed limits of discussion. Nothing deeper like where the heck are we living in, what is the meaning of existence.

where the heck are we living in, what is the meaning of existence.

Actually I have stumbled into quite a few of those here. And somehow those fit conspiracy as well or better than any other forum, possibly because most committed users here get trained for flexibility with the uncanny corners of our world.

Oh I'm getting very close to that, I've narrowed it down to 2 possibilities.

well im interested

Thing is, where do you find the correct information? The current tactic is to drown people in misinfo so you have to search through a ton of info. If you're not a researcher who does that for his living, then I find it takes too much time to find good stuff.

That's pretty much my mindset now too.

Convincing people to stop paying attention is goal #1 of the KGB propaganda playbook, you really need to watch Aleksandr Dugin's lectures on youtube. (He's the author of Foundations of Geopolitics).

When you barrage the public with so many angles and stories, it doesn't matter if they are factual or made up, eventually everyone just stops caring about everything.

Then they can do what they want without repercussion. It is literally their goal.

Maybe I was unclear about that part, but its not that I don't care what the bad guys are doing, because I do. But I just don't trust the authorities and politicians and high level government. I think its totally different than apathy.

I don't trust but a tiny handful of our governing authorities either, but that has always been the case.

And I've been into politics since the mid-Reagan era.

Never before had I seen the degree of white-noise media exhaustion that I have witnessed these last 3 years.

And I was glued to CNN for 3 solid months after 9/11.

And it wasn't until a friend of mine showed me some of Dugin's lectures that I realized that the overstimulation and semantic satiation present is exactly in line with Cold War Russian propaganda techniques developed initially on their own people, and reaching a point of terrifying competence that helped propel that sociopath Putin into high office.

The parallels between the Russian media during his rise to power, the events and the dissemination of them, exactly mirror the established media patterns that exposed troll farms use.

This is too much to be a coincidence.

It might have something to do with intelligent people finally cracking down on horseshit stories believed only by morons like the contributors to /r/conspiracy.

Skip to roughly page 11, and that's where you'll find the actual search results.

Google and Youtube have an agenda to push everything that aligns with the mainstream narrative to the front of the search engine and any alternative gets buried way in the back. It is definitely a form of censorship as they are trying to stifle research hoping most will see the same story everywhere and accept it or get frustrated enough to give up looking for the truth after shifting through 10+ search pages. They don't know us very well, do they ;)

Youtube keeps showing in my feed MSNBC, CNN, Colbert Report, Jimmy Kimmel, etc. and i keep marking them as "not interested", and they keep showing up.

Nothing suspicious there. /s

Not being able to find something with google does not equate to being silenced.

Oh I'm sorry, what would you call it?

SEO

Just don't bend to these authoritarian liars and never stop.

Youtube is part of the Media Industrial Complex (Google, CNN, FBI/Deep State etc.). We need some alternative site, but it will never be as big as youtube. They own the video sharing market. Unless google is destroyed, there is no way.

Possibly because alternate theories to the official story have all been debunked?

You aren't being censored, this is the internet routing around bullshit. Which is one of its best features. It just doesn't always work.

Who gets to decide what's debunked and bullshit?

Each of us individually exercising our rational judgment and then aggregating our perspectives so the most valid get the most exposure.

Human aggregate response is really a decent self-correcting mechanism providing everyone plays with intellectual honesty.

Of course when you become susceptible to propaganda and media manipulation, you lose that advantage and errors compound until your worldview is so full of self-contradictory concepts that it collapses, leaving the person a useless wreck.

For example:

I never told anyone to arm teachers, but we should really arm teachers, it will solve the problem immediately.

How about when these perspectives are tweaked and/or fabricated?

The minority is the loudest...

Only when we forget they are the minority.

The problem is that we as humanity hunger for a 'hated other' that we can heap all of our problems on and cast stones of impotent frustration against.

We want it to be a singular entity responsible for all problems instead of what truly is at the root: a massively complex geopolitical system of power brokers and individual engagers that all have their own intents and goals.

So we call the enemy 'the alt-right', or 'the libtards', or 'SJWs' or 'Neckbeards', or 'pro-unborn-baby-murderers' or 'womb dictators' and we select people with matching ideologies and they become in our mind no longer people, but instead a 'hated other' with little distinction between its members.

And since they are no longer human to us, we are free to heap our scorn and violence on them because 'they aren't actually really people'.

This is some of the oldest cultural programming in our monkey minds, before even words or song we banded together to kill the 'hated other' and take their territory and food.

Unless we can get beyond this animalistic tribal tendency, we will never have a world free of brutality committed on our fellow man in the name of a ephemeral ideology.

No one can really argue against you there, it's what we all want.

What you're missing though is an examination into the cause of why things are the way they are. You seem to be focussed only on how people are reacting to the malaise of society, the end result, whilst not really giving much thought into the cause.

How are perspectives fabricated to achieve the end result that you're talking about? Can people tell what's an objective perspective anymore? It seems impossible now, but we do try here...

What you're missing though is an examination into the cause of why things are the way they are

Because people in power benefit when the populace is thrown into chaos. This is a truth older than castles.

The signal to our monkey brains has been hijacked.

Only in the non-critical.

How are perspectives fabricated to achieve the end result that you're talking about?

Fuck if I know, if I did I'd be a world power right now.

Can people tell what's an objective perspective anymore?

Yes, through rigorous diligence, and the most brutal of rational examination. It is painful because this act strips of us our self-delusions.

Which is why so few do it.

Because we see ourselves for what we are, under all of our justifications, all of our excuses, and most people are afraid of what they'd see.

Yes it did, and so have several other experts.

The thing is, there is a texture to actual conspiracies that everyone overlooks.

They usually aren't sensational.

Check the wikipedia article on confirmed conspiracies, and you will notice several features that 911, pizzagate, and buttery males seem to lack.

Namely ambiguity, diverse motives, and imperfect action engagement.

That's because human organizations are diverse things filled with people with different motives and prone to human failure.

The sensational conspiracy theories I mentioned above lack all of these things.

The way their proponents present them it's as if a single overarching consciousness with perfect awareness and perfect execution were controlling all aspects of the conspiracy.

And as long as more than 1 person is involved, this is basically an impossibility.

But it's one that tinfoil hatters like you keep insisting upon.

I have been deep in the conspiracy community since before the internet was even commercially available, and frankly people like you give us legit conspiracy researchers a very, very bad name.

most if not all perceived "conspiracies" would be nearly impossible.

No, just most.

enlighten me as to what are the true conspiracies that meet your strick criteria listed above?

You don't really want to know, and even then what I would tell you would be meaningless to you.

Find them yourself, be critical, be thorough, and don't waste time on buttery male bullshit.

Okay I'm pretty sure you're just a shitty markov bot.

Yes YT is a private company so they can post or not post whatever they want but on that same regulatory token why is it that I have read on Voat many times that people have seen CP on YT before?! WHY is that shit a ok but the truth is a taboo and a possible strike on your channel?

we all knew this was going to happen eventually
