Why does /r/skeptic seem anything but skeptical? (self.conspiracy)

Electrorocket が 投稿

All they do is support mainstream beliefs and totally shit on anything outside that narrow little bubble. They seem the opposite of skeptical. They should be called /r/suckers

I'm pretty sure that believing that arabs took down the twin towers IS actually being skeptical of the actual events that took place that day.

the whole modern skeptics movement seems to be a giant circlejerk for semi-talented fame whores who are easily coopted into pushing an authoritarian narrative. it's anything but skeptical. it's entirely social programming.

one thing i've noticed about these sort of programming exercises..the talent isn't that talented.

...because most things taken to the extreme end up self-defeating, and skepticism is no different. Skepticism these days has become a cult, much like the worst, most closed-minded religions. They are no different, ultimately.

The entire skeptic movement follows this MO. Defend the establishment position, demean anything that does not agree with it, call people names.

It might as well be a group of 12 year old girls.

pretty much like every social engineering construct by the establishment. shame smells. authority smells. hierarchy smells. hero narrative design mistakes are ALL OVER the establishment's work.

Its truly Orwellian isn't it? Vaccination good, fluoride great, mainstream medicine is god. Trust anyone in a white coat with a doctorate in anything.

it's actually awesome! the more upside it is, the more obvious it becomes that it's upside down. the scale of the Hero Design Flaws we're seeing are epic. there will be no denial of the change that will follow.

and yes, don't trust Heroes. they fail too many ways.

Something I wrote a while ago:

Modern skepticism is being hijacked by pro-corporate interests. I've seen this happen in /r/skeptic. I've watched a biotech shill there get people to comment on real FDA approval processes, based solely on the information this shill buttered them up with. They didn't just encourage them to comment, they encouraged them to comment in favor of something. I know the user is a shill because I did my research and found that user goes by various screen names, one of which is their real name. It was only a matter of time before I found their numerous pro-biotech articles and comments across various blogs, and the biotech company they own which aims to profit heavily should that FDA approval process pass. By the way, I'm talking about CRISPR gene editing technology. This is not skepticism, it's straight up astroturfing.

This person particularly said "the skeptic movement" once when scheming things, which is what nudged my Toucan Sam in the right direction. Was this person planning to prey on skepticism? I found this person was regularly affiliating with /r/GMOMyths moderators and other infamous pro-GMO / pro-Biotech bloggers / scientists. Take a look at that sub's "myths network" for a laugh - nothing says we are industry apologist PR buffoons more than that right there. I will give out a consolation prize though - since I've been calling them out they've toned it down big time. Kudos.

you actually have to call them out for them to change. that's how the op works. they have to maintain the perception that they're balanced. it's the same for all of the psyops. they'll respond to "design threats". that's how you know they're psyops. when you have grassroots organizations they develop organically, decoratively, and they're less likely to need to feel the need to respond to anything.

at any rate, i'd caution you to not call them out, or to call them out in ways that are optimal. because really, the best evidence We have of coopted narratives is their actual work. and it's a shame to make that evidence go away because you've told your opponent how to fix or hide their mistake.

oh, and keep screenshots.

They've probably toned down the attacks because their offices are on full-time pro Hillary posting mode, all the 'truth manipulation' outfits are busy right now.

Why do any of the subs seem like anything but the subs ?

Seriously, this sub is suppose to be conspiracy but your are barraged with comments being critical of anything with substance.

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

because it's shilled to the gills. the estab has to maintain the illusion. so they fuck up everything they can and back/protect their narrative setters. and they keep doing that so they can pretend the illusion is the truth. this seems to explain all the efforts to program the public into thinking black people are somehow different from everyone else, for instance. there's always a narrative to maintain - white superiority being one.

i'm not stressed over the shills - they're paid to be here. that provides a learning opportunity about how they are designed and how they operate. what they are concerned with, and who they ultimately are. as long as your points are solid, and you keep on refining them and discarding errors, there's nothing they can do but show everyone that they're shills.

went to /r/skeptic once. Looked around a little. Never went back.
