every single persons worldview has this built into it, its just that you deploy it or skepticism of it selectively

if someone feels an antithetical way about catholicism they’ll say something like this and then instantly turn on a dime and say the vatican and church authorities were systemically covering up XYZ for years, which, if you take their view of it, would be as vast as anything else.

its fun irl if youre that kind of person to see how fast you can get people to flip on this stuff without them realizing it. for example someone will go on about how insane such a concept is and then if you ask about trump/russia will explain the exact concept back to u perfectly

wow thats crazy haha yeah that would never happen. hey, tell me how you feel about the tobacco lobbyists. why are they bad exactly. how do you feel about the NRA, or, whatever group you see as an unethical mobilization of something antithetical to your worldview? wow, thats crazy

in fact, it actually is interesting, if u take the reddit conventional narrative of the vatican + the catholic church’s relationship to child abuse, its actually [more] elaborate than almost any other c0nspiracy. doesnt matter what the reality is for the purpose of analysis here

a handful or even 100 or 1000 guys in a group or govt or agency covering up something that most people never see or interact with or faking an event is far less elaborate than an international organization (literally) conspiring to cover up on the ground local crimes, for decades

so if you take the normal view you get from the TV + pop culture (the reality doesnt matter for this analysis) about that particular issue u actually have zero ground to stand on whatsoever to claim it would be impossible for a group of people to fabricate or lie about something

good morning
