Candice Owens is one of the most popular conservative media figures in 2025. In the past few months, Owens has attracted intense attention — and significant criticism — for promoting baseless and conspiratorial claims about Charlie Kirk's assassination and Emanuel Macron's wife. Her commentary is similar to Alex Jones's, only she operates in more mainstream political spaces.
I'm very happy to have never heard of this person before today and I closed the article after the first paragraph, idiots like this aren't even worth thinking or reading about.

I can understand the reason you'd refuse to read the article - I did too - but I implore you, assuming you're in the USA, to get better acquainted with who Candace Owens is. She's a lunatic, she's...
I can understand the reason you'd refuse to read the article - I did too - but I implore you, assuming you're in the USA, to get better acquainted with who Candace Owens is.
She's a lunatic, she's a conspiracy theorist, she's a moron - and she's influential and close to people that have power and influence over the direction of the country. She's dangerous, and not to be underestimated. Particularly in the current state of things.
I'm in Canada. I've also discovered that following and paying attention to all of these idiots (especially Trump) was having a negative effect on my mental health, so now when I run into people...

Well, you've got all the more reason to disregard her entirely. I envy you! I work on ignoring them too, but there are reasons why I can't ignore them entirely. Living in the US is one of them, as...

I work on ignoring them too, but there are reasons why I can't ignore them entirely. Living in the US is one of them, as are my family and friends' demographics. That said, I have to tune out a lot of noise for the same reasons you do.
The most suspect element of the case is that he was said to have been shot by a .30-06 caliber rifle, which seems hard to believe after seeing ballistic tests online. Though, I know very little...
The most suspect element of the case is that he was said to have been shot by a .30-06 caliber rifle, which seems hard to believe after seeing ballistic tests online. Though, I know very little about guns and it all might be readily explainable. Here's an article that aims to explain it, if anyone's willing to comment on it.
Notwithstanding Candace Owens's very questionable epistemic standards, that alone would send a lot of people of normal people down the rabbit hole in terms of theorizing. Unfortunately, total breakdown of trust in our institutions, often for very good reason (ex. the assassination of JFK and the refusal to declassify the documents decades later even after executive order), has radically expanded the set of theories people will entertain in understanding any given event. Some more critical thinking would certainly help, but even a rational mind applying valid rules of inference can come to accept crazy ideas from a sufficiently weak epistemic perspective. The only real solution is radical transparency, starting from the issues that made people so cynical in the first place.

I read this the other day when it was posted, and am coming back to it now after randomly seeing an r/conspiracy post about yesterday's shooting at Brown.
It sucks and is disturbing to see how many people have fallen so far into these compounding delusions about everything that goes on in the world around them.

There seems to be an erroneous "death of" in this post's title
At first glance I read it as an optimistic headline, but I was wrong.
