')But what about 93 and the Pentagon. Those planes did not exist on the ground where they were supposed to have hit the ground. What happened to them? Where did they go? Who hid the fuselages? Didn't anyone witness this massive magic trick of disappearing people? Hard to explain away hundreds of bodies and two large planes.
Are you actually telling me your a troother pstarr? As if my opinion of your intellect couldn't go any lower. The planes did exist. They even have video footage of one of them passing a security camera. Most of the evidence used to raise doubts about the official explanation has been debunked many times over and yet these arguments keep passing around like urban myth, because the myth is more attractive than the reality.
I could sit here day in and day out and engage in a turkey-shoot with troothers over every one of their points of evidence but it's the nature of the troother mindset to just ignore the data, dig in their heels, and double-down.
The irony is that doomers who study limits-to-growth issues should, if they study the issues long enough, be quite versed in human psychology, especially when it comes to cognitive dissonance and magical thinking, and yet when it comes to this stuff, people just clutch at the CTs the same way the ultra-religious insist that GW is a scam and the earth is only 6,000 years old. Doomerism SHOULD push people towards cold science-based rationalism, not tinfoil. But it's a chicken and the egg thing. Are doomers made doomers because of the facts, or were they predisposed to be doomers because they were already virulently anti-BAU due to some other axes to grind (including 911 trooth). My money is on the latter. The real intelligent doomers have largely left the building, so to speak, and the ones who remain are a little "off".
A really tinfoily doomer is really not that far off from a Glenn Beck nutcase. If you construct your reality around always searching for a villain around every corner you're really not looking at the world as it is. Sometimes things happen without representing the guiding hand of a smoking-man cabal pushing buttons on HAARP or what have you.
