Truther
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
| FACT ALERT: Truthfags don't really care about 9/11. They're just socialist faggots who want an excuse to hate the government. |
Truthers' are sanctimonious pricks who believe in absurd conspiracy theories blaming the US Government for 9/11 butthurt, when it is obvious that Jews were responsible for the attacks. While the truthers usually then counter that Jews control the government as well and therefore the government was responsible, this ignores the fact that in the end, it's still really the Jews that are the most proximate cause.
Many truthers also believe in bizarre theories in combination with their 9/11 theory, including one or more of the following:
- aliens (as well as Mexican aliens)
- JFK assassination conspiracies
- Lizard people
- NESARA
- The Illuminati
- The Furluminati
- Worldwide Masonic Conspiracy
- Worldwide Communist Conspiracy
- One World Government
- Moon landing hoax

[edit] Summary
Truther beliefs amount to political fiction written by insecure faggots who want an excuse to hate authority, to feel superior to people who don't believe in their idiotic filth, and who probably fap to posters of Neo from the Matrix. The reason they fail hard is they expect their foolishness to be taken seriously, leading to a classic case of Unwarranted self importance. The most advanced sufferers of this delusion metaphorically have their head so far up their own ass they can see out their own mouth, accusing others of being stupid for not accepting their idiotic theories, and insisting that their fictional view of reality is correct.
Truther are several rungs below Scientologists, people who believe that gray aliens with big black eyes are being covered up by the government, and people who think they are/want to be vampires. Given their delusional beliefs, they are in very good company with the mentally retarded and the general population of /b/ (significant overlap between those groups amirite?).
This conspiracy theory has spawned a subculture on the internet, with the result that the viral idea that terrorism is fake and instead the us government is complicit in 9/11 has spread to infect the moron population of the internet (at least 70% at risk of infection, based on numbers I made up). This means it's important to let truthers know they are failures, to try to save them. Of course they're usually too stupid to save and would probably just find something else to believe in anyway, so it's probably not worth the time.
The truther mentality is similar to that of the mother of Ronald McNair, one of the astronauts killed in the Challenger disaster, who was convinced until the day she died that her son had survived the disaster and was alive on an island. This shows how the mind can embrace a lie to avoid acknowledging painful realities.

[edit] Background
The truther emerged from anger over the failure of the US Government to protect its buildings from AIPAC's Jew-skewing of foreign policy (namely, supporting Israfail), causing massive butthurt and setting the stage for the jew pwning of wtc. Because the truther couldn't accept that their government was incompetent, they decided it was instead complicit, and spent the next six years claiming that tiny puffs of smoke proved their dumb idea was actually what happened. Unlike Holocaust deniers, who are right, these guys are really just a bunch of jewlovers who refuse to accept the mainstream reality. Their ego tends to be the main fuel for their beliefs and often annoying advocacy on the internet and elsewhere.
Part of being a truther is the belief that you're so fantastically clever that you can figure out the massive world conspiracies that all the sheeple can't see. The idea that maybe the US government isn't competent enough to pull something like that off never seems to occur to these people, but then conspiracy theorists generally have a much higher opinion of their governments than is necessarily deserved.
Part of the reason truther arguments are so easily defeated is they focus on 9/11 itself without seeing it in a general context of terrorism. Therefore, they are easily flustered when asked, if 9/11 was an inside job, does that mean that Was Theo van Gogh,the Beslan School Massacre and the London bus bombings were inside jobs too.
So far in the test subjects examined (one but the investigation is ongoing) this just resulted in a string of abuse and a promise to "defend the truth when I feel like it" instead of any rational response to the reality that their conspiracy theory falls apart when you try to apply it to incidents other than 9/11; the Truther movement rests on the concept that there is no such thing as terrorism and that it is all a "wag the dog" style illusion. The reality of terror therefore kills their argument every time, which makes them angry, and hence the insults.
On the down side, this means they're never going to realize they're wrong and will probably go on believing in bullshit until they die, which wouldn't be so bad, but they spread their bullshit online and create more truther in the process when idiots believe them. However, on the up side, they are great trolling prospects, you don't even really have to try, just think rationally. They hate that.
[edit] The Ballad of 9/11 Truth
Nine-eleven was an inside job!
Orchestrated by the Cheney mob!
Nine-eleven was a special op!
Only justice gonna make 'em stop!
Building Seven was a smoking gun!
Now the neocons are on the run!
Nine-eleven was an inside job!
Orchestrated by the Cheney mob!
Nine-eleven was a special op!
Only justice gonna make 'em stop!
Usually all twenty people at a Truther march will be singing this.
[edit] Quotes
rainman is a typical truther believing in several conspiracy theories. He is a research subject for this article and more findings will be posted as they become available.

| —rainman showing that he picked an appropriate nick |
| —rainman showing a keen grasp of history |
When truthfags are confronted with the stupidity of their beliefs, unable to respond as a sane person would with anything approaching reason, they ignore the indisputable fact that being insulted by a moron is not actually offensive to anyone with a brain and just try to insult you. This may be typical truthfag behavior. More research is needed.
Another interesting twist is the claiming of financial or business success to be proof of intellect and the correctness of truthfag beliefs. Of course, even if true, business success does not mean that one is intelligent or that one's beliefs are true. But it does shed an interesting light onto the truthfag mentality, that one can assume truth based on incorrect assumptions that make sense to the true believer.
| —rainman showing he respects everyone's views and loves a good debate |
| —rainman obviously misunderstanding the significance of having an ed.com article about him |
| —rainman showing that morons think that everyone else is stupid, and they are the genius. Amazing. |
| —rainman, showing that when a truthfag is confronted with irrefutable proof that what they believe in is shit, they respond by ignoring the proof and flinging more insults. |
| —rainman, showing how to lose an argument and still think you've won. If you're a moron |
| —rainman, denying that he uses his shit beliefs to feel superior to other people by . . . saying he actually does feel superior to other people |
| —rainman, on his inability to back up his beliefs when confronted with proof he can't explain away with little puffs of dust on a videotape |
| —rainman, showing that he's the better man after all. And that when they can't respond to rational arguments as to why truthfag beliefs are stupid, truthfags (at least, this one that I am assuming is typical) threaten you and say your dad's a pedophile. Lol, not exactly how Cicero would handle that debate rebuttal, no? |
| —rainman, showing that truthfags are willing to kill to defend their crap theories. After all the theory is so important that if anyone interferes with it by pointing out it is bullshit, they should die. This of course reflects the high maturity level of truthfags, as rainman aptly notes in this passage |
