    Notice how I made no mention of which party was which and the poster decided for me. That’s one way the psychologists steer the conversation.

    I learned “conspiracy theories” was a term coined by the us CIA to discredit protesters. I learned that from you .ml’ers.

    But now that CIA is totally trust worthy to use their language. Hehe yeah.

    Damn bro my condolences. A lot of your russian coworkers must of been sent off to war. It’s tough. I used to work with an outsourced tech team from Ukraine. They even visited once and brought some fancy vodka. I often wonder what happened to them.

      I’m a Statesian, and am using the term to reference a baseless theory grounded purely in gut reaction. I am not trusting the CIA whatsoever in identifying your theory as both baseless and a gut reaction. We must seek truth from facts, not blindly invent whatever reinforces our narrative.
