There was an actual conspiracy against the subreddit regarding this AMA.

Well, I guess that sounds better than 'we got trolled'.

[–]crackeraddict 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (2子コメント)

There's a conspiracy against my head, I think I'll rename it a headache after reading /r/conspiracy.

Oh you're cheating. That was Assuredly who said that. If you removed him from Reddit you'd lose like 40% of the insanity on the whole site.

The dude's been shadowbanned on several alts and called out by three different admins for his vote cheating and manipulation. Trolling around reddit is essentially his life.

AATA is my favorite crazy person. He is so consistently inconsistent.

[–]Keksus_ 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

it also sounds like they know that all their other conspiracies are bullshit.

[–]Thyrotoxic 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I blame the Jews.

[–]RecallRethuglicans 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Dammit, why is /r/conspiracyconspiracy already taken and private?

[–]ky1e 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

because conspiracy

[–]Lochen9 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (3子コメント)

It's nice that there is for a change an actual conspiracy on that sub though. It's almost like they are saying that all the rest are baseless and unfounded.

[–]ComedicSans 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (2子コメント)

A solitary troll isn't a conspiracy, by definition.

[–]Lochen9 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is true, I'm just making light of the fact they refer to it as an 'actual' conspiracy, as opposed to all the rest.

[–]RecallRethuglicans 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Unless he's talking to himself.

[–]buartha 40 ポイント41 ポイント  (4子コメント)

this reaches beyond normal reddit meta drama and directly impacts the reputation of an actual person.

What could possibly impact that person's reputation more than being a 9/11 truther in the first place?

[–]Simpleton216 29 ポイント30 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Being a redditor.

huehuehue

[–]Shashank1000 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Being a Holocaust denier.

[–]verylegitaccount 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Is that not a basic requirement to post on /r/conspiracy?

[–]LegendReborn 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's ok not to deny Holocaust on /r/conspiracy but you sure as hell better not say that the Jewish version is right. Those fuckers control everything.

[–]richjew 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (1子コメント)

J...Jews?

[–]IAmAShittyPersonAMA 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, you would know, wouldn't you?

[–]Algee 15 ポイント16 ポイント  (15子コメント)

We will look into this conspiracy to impersonate Mr. Gage and defame his character on the backend.

Defame him? The only truly idoitic thing he said in the ama was his bowling ball analogy...

I did kind of like his bowling ball analogy / thought experiment, which wasn't too bad.

God fucken dammit /r/conspiracy

[–]ComedicSans 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (0子コメント)

What I am amused by is the fact that one person cannot, by definition, be a conspiracy.

[–]ky1e 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Can you summarize the analogy?

[–]MimesAreShite 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (8子コメント)

"The official story of what happened on 9/11 is kinda like a bowling ball: it may knock down a few conveniently placed pins, but it's full of holes, and I, personally, find it very difficult to swallow."

Okay, not really. My guess is something to do with free-fall speeds, since most 9/11 conspiracy theories seem to centre around that.

[–]shakypears 9 ポイント10 ポイント  (7子コメント)

It was suggesting that there is no difference between dropping a bowling ball from 6 inches above your head vs. just setting it on top.

[–]SomewhatKindaMaybeNo 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Can I get a full quote? That just sounds super stupid in condensed form as you put it and I refuse to believe that anyone would think that it was a good analogy, not even someone who is from /r/conspiracy.

[–]shakypears 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Here we go. It basically was that bad.

Found the full comment chain, too.

[–]SomewhatKindaMaybeNo 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh god dammit. People thought that was a good analogy. It just doesn't feel right.

[–]xXxDeAThANgEL99xXx 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Wow, that was expert level trolling. He is literally using an argument that's supposed to say the opposite of what he makes it say.

[–]shakypears 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And had people blindly defend it. It's a thing of beauty.

[–]shakypears 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'll have to see if I can find it.

[–]Drando_HS 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Maybe they should try it for themselves...

[–]Algee 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (3子コメント)

He made an analogy between the twin towers collapse and dropping a bowling ball 6" onto your head. Since your head can withstand the impact of a 6" bowling ball drop, he claimed the towers should not have collapsed.

He then claimed this was "simple physics".

[–]ky1e 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Ok, so what you do in that situation is you take that guy and drop a bowling ball on his head from six feet. If he survives or at least retains mental functions, he's got a point.

[–]Algee 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think most truthers have tried this sometime in the past. It would explain quite a bit.

[–]RecallRethuglicans 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Ok, so what you do in that situation is you take that guy and drop a bowling ball on his head from six feet. If he survives or at least retains mental functions, he's got a point.

And that's how truthers are born.

[–]ky1e 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Sooooo did they ask for any verification at all?

[–]ComedicSans 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Facts? Evidence? Verifiable identities?

Which sub are we talking about again?

[–]redping 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

This is Axolotl's pretty hilarious "oh we don't really to verify him, it's cool" speech about it in the thread

[–]ky1e 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

...it's pretty damn simple to do AMAs and get verification. Not hard to figure out. Anyone that writes that much about how he didn't get verification can't be all that intelligent...

[–]mapppa 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It is very disconcerting and we are working with the theory that this troll was designed entirely to defame Mr. Gage.

By emulating exactly what /r/conspiracy was expecting him to say? If anything, that troll showed that anybody can be a 9/11 conspiracy "expert" by just repeating the same empty phrases.

It's amazing how clearly this shows that those people over there would believe anybody instantly, as long as it supports their views.

[–]DanMooreTheManWhore 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

So is /r/conspiracy a satire? Everything that happens is somehow part of a secret plot. It doesn't make sense. Even the people in their own subreddit are conspiring against themselves. Everyone can't really be out to get everyone with everything.......

[–]75000_Tokkul[S] 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

This is the drama from before any /r/conspiracy mods had posted about it.
