Things is we got a considerably verse, we talk about the web of conspiracy. What they believe . But now we also want to talk about the why and how they believe . How does this conspiracy believe work in the grab . Where the people we are talking about, what do they look . Like what are the communities like . Were going to talk a little bit about that. So, many if not all of our students are going to come in with conspiracy beliefs. If you had a conversation with nervous students. Now, one of the things is that people recognize that these beliefs should not be spoken of quite often. And so, you would give, for example, a less the lesson on 9 11, in which he would have a class of 30 students, perhaps, go through a class, go out and as soon as they get out, theyre going to turn to you and go, you know that was an inside job . But not necessarily bring it up and classes. Depending on your Class Environment and your class atmosphere. I can tell you that when i go and i sit down on a plane a
Captioning performed by vitac committing violence or maybe not committing. Higher level of chance believing violence is a legitimate way to show disfavor to the government, but not in a way thats for me overwhelmingly different. 16 to 11 , right . Obama not born in the United States is the red. 9 11 conspiracy and the federal government in the blue. This is 2006. Maybe its changed since then. The interesting thing is, both conspiracy are believed by wide numbers of americans, different americans. That the democrats 40plus percent believe that 9 11 was a conspiracy. Much lower among between among republicans. And then obama not born in the United States very low among democrats and very high among republicans. In the sense, what political party does is tell you staff the villains differently and choose which conspiracies youre scared of. But not necessarily whether you believe in conspiracies at all. What, if any role, does Religion Play in whether someone believes a conspiracy. Looking
Have you guys heard of area 51 . Theres the thing that you know about thats on a government map, literally listed as area 51, because the name is top secret, because we have a national Security State that takes large parts of the united States Territory and says, this is area 51, we cant tell you what were doing here, we cant tell you what were spending here, but its to keep you safe, trust us. And i understand you need to test aircrafts, i dont have a problem with that, but as it plays into this Conspiracy Theory, it is the raw stuff to allow this stuff to go on, right . The other one is that the ufos are a coverup because what theyre really doing is they are taking people and probing them and torturing them and doing medical experiments on them or their cattle. Cattle mutilation comes in here now. But the coverup is, rather than it being black helicopters of the united States Government, kidnapping people, drugging them and torturing them to do medical experiments on them, instead it
Government action. This runs about 90 minutes. So one of the things we got the conspiracy believers. We talk about the what of conspiracies. What do they believe, right . But now we also want to talk about the why and how they believe. How does this Conspiracy Belief Work in the ground. Who are the people we are talking about. What do they look like. What are the communities like. We will talk a little bit about that. So many, if not all, of the students come in with conspiracy beliefs. If you have had a conversation with any of your students, now, one of the things is that people recognize that these beliefs should not be spoken of quite often.
