left wing conspiracy theories? could you name a few for me?

The queen of England is the head of a nazi drug running cabal.

Oh wait, that's not a theory. :-)

The ultimate problem I have with extreme liberals is the same problem I have with extreme conservatives: They both believe in the concept of Platonic thought as presented by Pythagoras: The belief that the laws of the universe can be discerned by pure thought and logic. In other words, reality is subjective. And in that regard there is little to no difference in extreme D and extreme R: Same thought system with slightly different starting points.

My belief is more along the lines of Aristarchus who posits that the universe can be understood through observation as opposed to derived from basic principles. Reality, to put it simply, exists outside of our own perceptions and assumptions. How closely one aligns their view of the universe to the observed state of the universe determines what one might call "happiness".

can you name me a few? the queen theory you mentioned I have never heard before but sounds great.
