Husband insists moon landings were faked and 9/11 was a false flag secret operation the Americans did to themselves

[AmberTigerEyes]

I am désolé
My husband, he tell me he really believe there has never been a moon landing and that the 9/11 attacks were faked too.
I was in New York on 9/11
He knows this
He keeps saying things that have been disproven as conspiracy theory myths.
I wonder if I should be calling for a mental crisis unit.

I don't pay a huge amount of attention to much of the news currently for various reasons, and don't have the energy at the moment to look into it, but I will say my initial response to this would be to think that Trump and his administration don't care whether they are seen to have justification or not.

Yes, it does make you stupid.
And it matters, because who wants to be in a relationship with someone that stupid? How can you co-parent and share finances with someone who has the IQ of a potato?

You started the rudeness by implying the other person hadn't applied 'simple critical thinking' because if they had they would know that there was no advantage to the government.
But that was completely untrue and critical thinking at the most basic level would show otherwise.

Don't through the term around to try to insult someone when you haven't used critical thinking yourself.

So you ARE a conspiracy theorist.

You think the moon landings were fake...do you mean all six of them?

Oddly noone from that side of the "debate" has answered this simple question.

I have though. No advantage to justify the action.

The facts show otherwise. Google is at your fingertips.

Google really is no use here.
To expand. there’s no advantage to staging 9/11 because they didn’t need it to declare any war they wanted to. If they wanted NATOhekp they might need an attack on their soil, but the cost of this was disproportionate to achieve the ends. Fairly clearly.
And Covid really didn’t add advantage any government. Economies crashed. Politicians in charge tended to lose their positions at the next election

Wow, you’re rude aren’t you? I think what is more stupid is people who believe everything they see in the media and are told by the government.

My partner wants to be in a relationship with me and has done for the past 12 years. oh and we have two children and share finances too.

I bet you’re so shocked aren’t you.

Google is of no use here? Ok 😂

I'm not discussing covid, I'm discussing 9/11.

It’s no use for deciding whether the cost of 9/11 would be disproportionate to the aim, no.
And the post I responded to was dealing with covid - half my reply that you object to was about it.

There's plenty who wouldn't want to be in a relationship with people who always believe the official story and think the only explanation for doubt is stupidity and psychosis, so the feeling is very mutual.

There’s a difference between believing everything you see in the media and being a conspiracy theorist. And as far as I can see you have to believe everything you see in social media or on YouTube for that. How is that more likely to be true anyway?

Eh? That’s literally not what anyone has said. It’s been about evaluating and critical thinking, not just believing YouTube and social media.

It is for looking at the ways they benefited from it.

After that, whether the cost was worth it comes down to a matter of opinion.

You mentioned moon landings, 9/11 and covid in your post. I specifically responded to you asking only about 9/11 and questioned if you were saying that 'simple critical thinking' would tell you there was no advantage to the government in relation to 9/11.

That is literally what loads of people say. Automatic jump to stupidity and making out the person is having a mental health crisis.

It’s not just bonkers to think 9/11 was an inside job, it’s actually quite disturbing.

Same with the person who thinks the military don’t try to rescue soldiers stranded behind enemy lines.

What a mental breakdown in the civic and social contract this displays.

Yes of course there is a difference. people can think about a situation after reading and seeing what has been put out there and have their own opinions on it. Doesn’t make them stupid!

No I didn’t. I responded to a post about 9/11 and covid. Not moon landings. I suspected you weren’t reading them properly.

It does if they ignore logic, science and proof. And that often happens.

The people who believe the “true narrative” also very often ignore all 3 of those things too.

I am not a conspiracy theorist in any way shape or form but I genuinely dont believe the moon landings happened

Pardon??? 😆

Oh bless your little heart

No, I didn't not believe I'm rude at all. I'm just being real.
I hope you're not teaching your children that the moon landings were fake and COVID wasn't real. Things are hard enough for kids these days.

The way this thread has gone, I'm inclined to think we deserve the treatment, or potential treatment, we get from those in positions of power.

The truth isn’t a narrative. It’s the truth.
