Dear Vox, I want to hear more on this topic!
The audio is a bit odd. Whenever they speak, you can hear a fuzziness in the background.
Y'all were talking about an interesting topic: Conspiracy theories. Then the conversation switches to political decision making wtf.
I personally believe Bush new that Bin Laden was planning an attack and did nothing as an excuse to invade countries in the middle east, I think everyone believes in at least one conspiracy theory.
wtf is this bullshit
Conspiracy theories and Democracy are /not/ compatible. Democracy assumes good-faith on your fellow citizens and yet conspiracy undermine that very good-faith.
careful with this people. They are conspirators themselves. The guy on the left is jewish and gets paid to support Hillary. The guy on the right is part of the pseudoskepicism lobby
Believing in no conspiracies is just as dumb as believing in all of them.
Spoken like a true reptilian..
100% of people who believe conspiracy theories need to stop living in their parent's basement.
Lol vox is 100% flaming libs
It's funny that this was a conversation because a couple of days ago the science in the white house retweeted the myth that climate change
the topic is interesting and engaging but the audio problems and the production distracts
Jeans and a tuxedo jacket…
Idiocracy…its sad to see people so brainwashed and played by illuminati puppets. Brawndo doesnt make plants grow even if this guy tells you it does. Wake up
Tell the stupid Goys how to think.
suit top+tie+jeans? sort it out mate.
Wow… it's crazy to watch this video now and see how well it applies to trump's denial of global warming… (4:42)
Jews run the media. The Holocaust is massively exaggerated. There is absolutely no evidence of gas chambers and the crematoriums at concentration camps were much too inefficient to cremate even a tenth of the deaths claimed.
Why is everyone complaining about the quality?
We believe in conspiracies because we believe in abstract things in general. If you think back to even a couple hundred years ago, almost everything we thought was somehow related to what could be seen. For instance, you were a farmer or rancher, and you knew about the crops and animals you raised. If you hooked a cart up to a horse, you saw how the cart operated. All of this could be seen. If you spoke to someone, you either did so in person or you wrote a letter and some other person physically transported that letter to that other person. The receiver would recognize your handwriting and know it was from you. Countries had kings or queens. You weren't asked to submit pieces of paper with your choice of ruler written on it and expect perfect strangers to tally the results and report them accurately, even though neither you nor anyone you know personally and trust would be watching them while they were counting. Religion was the only place where abstract thinking was commonplace. However, if you go even further back to Roman times and before, Religion was less abstract. The Romans worshipped a deity whose existence was evidenced by lightning.
Yet, you sit here firmly believing that this comment was written by some stranger hundreds or thousands of miles away whom you will never see or know personally. You believe that the computer you are using works by science and not by magic. You believe that what you see when you stare at the screen is an accurate depiction of reality and not something a mini goblin within the computer made up itself. If you get sick with a cold, you believe the cause was an invisible little particle that flew up your nose about a week ago. You don't believe you have a cold because you were physically cold some time recently.
So, yeah, you also believe in conspiracy theories.
I get it! Conspiracies are just a myth! right? They dont exist. How can u believe People in Power would conspire to do evil? Thats unheard of.
I can't stop looking at the dude on the right's stain on his collar.
