Sure I really like our American road system. It is very nice to be able to get to places easily.

Running potable water is pretty sweet too.

There are a lot of things that we enjoy without thinking much about how they came about that would not happen without our federal/local/state governments.

Man... I was gonna say roads too.

I'm going with dikes then. In addition to the usual branches of government we got an extra branch just for water management. Keeps me feet dry. Go government!

LOL, at the provacative and sweeping statement. We don't even beat and jail former presidents or their lackeys who attempt a coup after they lose their bid at another term in office. "allways ... beaten abd jailed" is more of a Russia and China thing. We don't jail them without a trial, that is.

I must say though that Russia and China are benevolent compared to Saudi and African dictators who don't "allways" bother with jail, they just kill the protester. @Sergeant420 Please note that I just said something good about Russia and China too.

"war is" Why is it that fake conspiracy theorists and post apocalypse survivalists can't spell or speak well? Could it be true what psychologists say about them?

we find that psychological traits (e.g., dark triad) and non-partisan/ideological political worldviews (e.g., populism, support for violence) are most strongly related to individual conspiracy theory beliefs, regardless of the belief under consideration

The psychological and political correlates of conspiracy theory beliefs - Scientific Reports

Understanding the individual-level characteristics associated with conspiracy theory beliefs is vital to addressing and combatting those beliefs. While researchers have identified numerous psychological and political characteristics associated with conspiracy theory beliefs, the generalizability...

ACTS = American Conspiracy Thinking Scale

1. Much of our lives are being controlled by plots hatched in secret places.
2. Even though we live in a democracy, a few people will always run things anyway.
3. The people who really “run” the country are not known to the voters.
4. Big events like wars, the current recession, and the outcomes of elections are controlled by small groups of people who are working in secret against the rest of us.


Humans are social animals. People with poor social ability are losers in any society whether or not civilization collapses.

edit: I especially liked this statement in the "discussion" section:

However, some of the strongest and most consistent correlates of conspiracy theory beliefs involve psychological and political characteristics that are markers of anti-social, conflictual tendencies (e.g., dark triad traits, support for violence, Manicheanism). Efforts to correct or pre-bunk conspiracy theory beliefs are less likely to be successful among individuals exhibiting such traits.
