Nah, you totally want to believe. You said this:

I'd have to ignore a lot of history to consider it impossible for the same people who thought they could control minds with LSD and did put microphones inside Russian street cats to have a hand in this.

How are these stupid agency projects of the past in any way related to supposed murders of rather random protestors that didnt have much influence anymore?

It just doesn't make any sense.

The protest leaders would just vanish during the protests without a trace, and maybe come back siding the government, and not die of suicide years later when they've long stopped being relevant.

An average life Expectancy of 56 years is some 3rd world country in civil war numbers. Burkina Faso is at 62 years for example. Somalia at 58, Chad 55.

Since when does not considering something impossible imply wanting to believe?

[–] vxx@lemmy.world -1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't play dumb. You're totally eating up this conspiracy stuff.

And spy cats from the 70's are your reasoning.

A for effort though, that picture is funny.

You started spreading that killing of protestors conspiracy with confidence. You later saying you don't consider it impossible isn't getting you off the hook.

Not sure why you're pushing to be the asshole here, but you're doing a damn fine job of it.

I'm calling him out for spreading completely unfounded and unreasonable conspiracy theories.

As if we wouldn't have enough of this deep state crap pushed by a former president. As if we wouldn't have enough radicalised mindsets.

I'm also not the one calling others names unlike you.

Pretty thick coming from the guy calling me an asshole.

I have an argument, you're just trolling and trying to be mean. As long as it makes you less miserable, go ahead.

So you think radicalisation is something to strive for or how do I have to interpret your comment?

[–] girlfreddy@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You don't have to interpret anything. It's clear you're acting like an whiny asshole, and now you're doubling down ... so here's more 🧀🧀🧀🧀
