How many skeptics...

Would it make any practical difference if it was al-Qaeda, or an associated group, or their sister organisation, or the Secret Organisation Group of al-Qaeda of Jihad Organisation in Europe (SOGQJOE for short), or people emulating al-Qaeda.
Incidentally, now that SOGQJOE have posted on a website, will they be
dropping the secret part, and from now on be known simply as OGQJOE ?
Of course it makes a difference but
only if you are interested in truth.
Of course, anybody questioning the truth these days is likely to be associated with lizards and Planet Nibiru and other way out there ideas. It is sickening how the progressives on this site who seek connections have been reduced by the majority.
Think about why that might be.
It is time for progressives to deconstruct this tendency for the majority. There is a difference between presenting a conspiracy theory and exhibiting some healthy skepticism, why confuse the two unless the agenda is to do just that and prevent the pursuit of truth?
Of course, there will now follow a deluge of posts on "the truth" as if conspiraloons
believe they alone have a handle on that.
Conspiralooning is the feint presented by uber-reactionaries but sadly too, there is much that is reactionary about conspiracies involving lizard monarchies and the illuminati.
We need to seperate what's what and if we define conspiralooning as a belief in lizards and Planet Nibiru and other such beliefs, then does questioning aspects of 911 etc fall into that?
However it seems as soon as any one poses a question about the "truth", the "conspiraloon" label is applied. There is clearly a need for progressive critical inquiry of events like the London terror attacks and 911 - posing questions is not conspiralooning, it is simply expressing skepticism...
How many skeptics does it take to change a light bulb?
Actually, they won't do it - they they aren't sure they're really in the dark.
