There are very few conspiracy theories that dont amount to tinfoil hatism.

Remember when gasoline containing lead was a conspiracy theory?

Thank god no one took those people seriously

Theories people insist are true with very little, if any, basis in fact.

Thats a garbage definition. Go get on the google.

Depends on how hammered I get when I'm around them.

See the issue here is that it falls onto the person making the claim to back up the claim. Find me tangable foolproof evidence theres a system of powerful puppet masters or I walk.

The most boring answer is usually the right answer. That's true for most things. Life isnt a movie, its actually very dull.

Theres enough admitted and confirmed conspiracies in the US alone that I dont totally blame any conspiracy theorist

The evidence is all around us tbh. I disagree with carlin taking it that far and i vote in all federal and provincial elections but the world even in first world countries who use the veneer of actual freedom is one hundred percent designed and used to advance the interests of the elite and ensure theres always a large underclass who are too dependant on their pay check to do anything but keep whatever job they can get to just get by.

I cant afford to live without working which means i sure the fuck cant afford to stop working and pay to school and still eat and have a place to live. Sure i could get funding for tje schooling but after a coupla montgs without an income where do i love and what do i eat?

that's how the elite want it. Im comfortable but i ain't ever getting ahead. Im still just a knowledgable capable bitch building for the rich tbh.

This is a copout. Get me actual evidence. Not "Imo this is what is happening" actual proof.

Or when people claimed the CIA were testing mind control methods including LSD on members of the public. Good thing thing that was just tinfoil hatters.

whacky conspiracy theories like flat earth are fun to make fun of. but when it comes to realistic scenarios like corruption and the government doing illegal things and lying about it, I don't automatically dismiss them. there were too many conspiracies that came out of the cold war for me to automatically dismiss everything I hear. our government has injected civilians with syphilis and planned terrorist attacks on american soil. they've also assassinated and attempted to assassinate hundreds of people, thousands possibly. so I won't automatically believe the government on everything they say, especially when it's in their interest to lie. the epstein thing is a recent example
