In my experience, the most popular Monsanto related threads on Reddit turn into a pro-Monsanto circle jerk. Not that I necessarily believe they're all PR shills (though it would be naive to think that doesn't happen), but I do feel like it's popular defend anything "science-y" without question. It causes [some of] the same problems as religion

I'm glad to see some discussion in this thread and not the typical immediate anti Monsanto circle jerk.

Yeah I've seen those happen aswell. Your religion comment is very relevant. Believing anything without sufficient evidence just isn't productive.
Do I believe Monsanto is guilty of seriously questionable practices? Absolutely.
Will I immediately believe every claim that comes out regarding their shiftyness? Nope.
On a side note. I keep forgetting this is a conspiracy sub. There's way more logic and reasonable thinking taking place than I'm used.

I hope it can stay this way... There is one thing Reddit taught me: be critical because most posts and most reactions are based on someone's agenda.
I'm not being conspiracy-ist, but experience on Reddit has shown me a strange world of fake accounts and sudden mass-opinions on strange news items.
Come to me with studies from both sides and the truth will probably be somewhere in the middle.
