27. Did OCTists make LooseChange popular?
Edited on Mon Sep-18-06 12:41 AM by greyl
"LC=sideshow of convenience for the Official Conspiracy crowd."

That statement reminds me of wishful thinking. At some point one needs to accept the fact that the film was produced by people who don't believe the OCT, and that it has been watched millions of times by those who don't believe the OCT, and that people who believe in the genral OCT are those that are doing the most work today debunking that piece of shit movie. I'd that you've seen the apologists for LooseChange, and none of them are from the Official Conspiracy Crowd.

I know the point you're trying to make is that LooseChange is an easy target for ridicule, but I think you need to realize that the vast majority of CTists don't understand that. Why is that?
Imo, it's because people who are predisposed to a Conspiracist Worldwiew are less likely to look at movies/materials like Loose Change with a critical mind. They begin with a conclusion and apply generous amounts of Confirmation Bias to any and all information in order to support their conclusion.
