I’m genuinely asking. In a lot of other countries, it’s common to hear people say that 9/11 was used as a pretext for war in the Middle East, and that elements within the US government either allowed it to happen or actively helped make it happen. But when I talk to everyday Americans online, most seem to shut that down fast. Is that just mainstream conditioning, or do people really believe that no elite in power would ever sacrifice their own citizens for political/financial gain? I’m just looking for honest takes on whether Americans are still in denial about what their government is capable of.
With any conspiracy theory I ask myself “Would I be able to do anything about it even if it were true?”. So far the answer has always been “No”. Therefore, I feel it’s pointless for me to let myself get upset or waste time and emotional energy on them when I could instead be doing something else.
What does that have to do with anything? Maybe you have a vitamin deficiency
