The thing that annoys me the most about /r/conspiracy is how smug they all are. They source most of their "information" from biased blogs, dubious Youtube videos and baseless claims from Infowars.com; and if you don't agree with their theories, it's because:

  1. You're a mindless sheep.
  2. Your eyes are not open (as if ONLY they can see the real truth).
  3. Or you're an undercover agent that is out to discredit them.

Basically, they've built a wall of cognitive dissonance around themselves and you're never going to get past it.

Because user Subsistence deleted his comment (which was calling you biased for using the term "unsubstantiated"), I guess I'll post my reply here.

It's funny. Over on r/conspiracy, they lament the mainstream media for not telling the true story about 9/11 (i.e. the story that they believe in). Yet, they have no problem upvoting "evidence" found on dubious blogger websites and amateur videos on Youtube. Whenever someone plays the skeptic and doubts any of this so-called evidence, the "open minded" guys over on r/conspiracy will dish out the downvotes like hotdogs at a baseball game. Hell; for the past year or two, you guys have been upvoting links about "teh Jews" being behind 9/11. Some of the guys posting those links are day-to-day regulars on some of the white nationalist subreddits - yet here you are complaining about the bias of skeptics?

I read that when rumors spread of concentration camps and Jewish people being put onto trains, that a lot Jews in Eastern Europe chose not to believe that such a thing was currently happening further West. Did you hear anything about what was happening before the German army arrived? Also - what was life like living in that ghetto?
