I never brought up space lasers. My point was this board is great when misinformation is posted if you read the posts someone will expose it if it is a lie. Where's the sauce is a common one, some outright call bs and speak authoritively that we are able to discern. This notion that someone posts something and people are so stupid they believe anything is a media narrative that is designed to shut us up. The phrase conspiracy theory was coined by the CIA in response to none believed the lone gun Oswald narrative. There's a doc out there somewhere from a FOIA request from the mid to late 60s.
