My own personal conspiracy theory is that Flat Earthers, Anti-vaxxers and all the other "Facebook boomer" conspiracies are just a strategy to discredit other "more real" conspiracies: if you believe that 9/11 was an inside job you're bundled with people that believe that Earth is a frisbee and smart people don't want that so they keep themselves from exploring anything else.
Also aliens fucked apes and that's how we got here.
Yeah, It's like the theory that Gates put microchips in the vaccines. First, your phone already does the job. And second, the actual conspiracy going on is that billionaires funnel their money through charities they own, and then make donations to influence the media and scientific research in their favour.
Donations don't get taxed. So if you own the charity you're donating you get your own tax-free income
I mean, the caveat is that you can't legally pull money back out of that charity. It's got to be used for the stated charitable purposes.
I just cannot fathom how flat earthers can believe what they believe.
I like the theory that we were "planted" on Earth very long time ago by advanced beings.
If you want to know more, meet me tomorrow at the docks
That's the fake meeting. The real one is under the docks at midnight.
Conspiracy theories are pushed by the state because it makes them seem powerful, when in reality they're often fucking morons. ^/s?^
I can also accept that.
(About the apes I'm immovable tho)
So if I believe the earth is flat I'll be bundled with people who believe 911 was an inside job is what you're saying?
