Why so many conspiracy theorists and what to do about them
I disagree. First off, let's stop calling them theories. They are intentional efforts to cause civil disorder and to erode national social cohesion. In effect sabotage. Some people thing it is funny to manipulate and get people upset. Others wish to promote a political agenda. And unfortunately, the majority originate with foreign agents (Iran, Russia, China) who want there to be social problems and disruption in western economies. Almost all are not theories, because they lack factual evidence. Our greatest scientific advances came from theories, and many challenged conventions of the day. Most of the claims lack credible factual evidence. A theorist takes ownership of their claim and is willing to defend it in the appropriate forum. The people who promote the theories almost always hide their identities and refuse to take responsibility for the damage they cause when they are exposed. The western promoters of the questionable claims almost always have a financial interest in their false claims. Alex Jones who pushed the false claims about the mass murder of children at Sandy Hook school made his money from sales of dooms day preparations, and "health" supplments that he sold to his podcast listeners. RFK Jr. made his income from filing personal injury lawsuits for people who had false or dubious claims of vaccine injury. Others are mentally ill. They are possessed by their obsessions. The mental illness is obvious. Instead of encouraging them, their sabotage and civil vandalism needs to be terminated. Secondly, the false claims cause serious damage. This is shown by the refusal of some communities to vaccinate against preventative childhood diseases. The end result is that everyone else suffers. They prey upon people with limited education and lower than normal intelligence levels. Society punishes those who seek to exploit the intellectually impaired through commercial transactions , and yet the conspiracy claim promoters take advantage of legal loopholes to do just that. -

Immigration Thai PM Tackles Overstaying Tourists with Visa-Free Scheme Revamp
The illegal workers are mainly Chinese i believe. And often the work is not out upfront, but behind the scenes in factories, call centres, scamming, etc You do get Russians and some Europeans working, but they stand out like a saw thumb. Eg, you have a guy from China who pops in and out of Thailand to carry out his work. He is not a tourist. He just stays a few months before his time runs out and then repeats this all year. They need stronger checks to ensure this can't happen. So a 30 day reduction will rack up 12 stamps and stand out. Hopefully for Chinese it is reverted back to visa required. But the big mess is the DTV. All well and good you want high earners to stay long term - but this isn't attracting high earners. It's attracting criminals and dross. The digital nomads in Thailand are backpackers with laptops or criminals. -

Trump ostracized at pope’s funeral
IMO the applause for Zelenskyy was the European version of the middle finger for DT. A thumbs up for Macron for his personal snub, and again for that Oval meeting recently where he called out some of the lies right to the orange face. -
