This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Conspiracy theorists aren't actually truth seekers. They're not out to discover the truth. They want to proclaim the truth and feel like special people who have hidden knowledge so they can feel superior. It's all about their ego, their sense of security, and nothing else.
All of this stuff is out in the open for all to see so the theorist nut jobs don't get to feel special by trying to expose it.
Conspiracy theorists disagree with official narratives. They are lie finders, not truth seekers.
The good ones are lie finders... The shitty, usually conservative, ones like the post is talking about love to spew their own garbage "truths"... Definitely not truth seekers, just "truth" spewers
Edit: like=lie
I don't think the group of people who are the subject of the post (e.g. Qanon supporters) would call themselves conspiracy theorists.
Can't lie...I know next to nothing about qanon or it's people, so you may be right
I've never met one, but I have seen them on TV (documentary). They seem very keen to follow random posts on 4chan, but they question absolutely nothing.
People that I've discussed conspiracy theories with usually don't believe anything, even other conspiracies.
