Feel free to believe the government, I guess and follow blindly into war.
I think it’s smart to ask questions. Especially when the WMDs in Iraq were 100% incorrect.
Again, I don’t believe most 9/11 conspiracies. But I do think it makes sense to ask questions when things don’t align.
Buddy. Calm down. I’m not making any argument here. I’m just saying given what the huge response was to 9/11 and how it seemed to largely miss the mark of who was involved - asking questions is a reasonable thing.
Correct. And neither Afghanistan nor Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. It has been proven over and over that it was the Saudis, but we don’t want to attack them.
9/11 was used as an excuse to attack Afghanistan for their Taliban and strict religious beliefs. Then 9/11 was used as an excuse to invade Iraq for the WMDs. Both were not involved at all with 9/11.
People and corporations made billions of dollars off these wars, and it’s reasonable to ask why they were started in the first place.
Not every conspiracy.
But ones that lead to starting baseless wars for oil and money are certainly worth asking questions about.
Because the government is notorious for their transparency?
Okay. Not “force” but just encourage.
My impression is that there’s tons of lurkers here who aren’t contributing.
You can make a post without it being a shit post.
Go to your local community board and mention a great pizza joint. Or a hike. Or share a pic of an animal you’ve seen.
It’s just a question of content quantity.
We should have a Lemmy Drive Day. Where every user is encouraged to make five posts and twenty-five comments.
It would be a kickstart.
There’s a big difference between “9/11 was a conspiracy” and “9/11 was fake.”
I think lots of folks agree that we didn’t get the entire story behind what happened that day.
I think no one who was alive that day believes it was “fake.”
Bold of you to assume my phone hasn’t been on vibrate for the last 15 years.
