Current Events > Are you ever legit thankful you didn't end up a conspiracy theorist crazymajig?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seeing what became of some old classmates, old coworkers from 10+ years ago, even oooold users from game boards here, god it's sobering as fuck. I feel like the brainwashing lunacy can happen to anyone with the right vehicle of delivery

I don't keep up with anybody's life so I have no one to compare myself to.

I used to be lightly into some conspiracy stuff mostly about alien cover ups

I guess I'm glad I never let myself fall too far

The UFO whackadoo stuff is nothing compared to republican stuff. That's what I mean. The child raping blood cults, vaccine microchips, 5G mind control stuff. Also ghosts.

The only conspiracy Im really open to is that the food and pharmaceutical industries are in bed together to keep the majority of the population overweight to obese, sedentary, and ridden with diseases that could have otherwise been prevented with better habits. There is not really any money to be made in telling people you should not be consuming factory food and drinks.

I hold the position that conspiracy theories are the radical idea that the Government that sucks at just about everything are private sector efficient at large scale cover ups. If anything, South Park had it right with that 9/11 cover up episode where there are people within the Government probably making these ridiculous things up so they hope most of the population does not ridicule them for how consistently incompetent they are.

Should've posted on yer UFO account lol but kan(ye)

Psh, that's because the aliens brainwashed mankind into BELIEVING these things are just a conspiracy with their planetary mind-altering ray. Those of us who have broken free of that conditioning and remember our true past possess knowledge that ye mortals could never dream of

Most conspiracy theories are modern versions of, like, old monster stories.
Like, the monsters are always mega dangerous, but can be defeated by obscure or even common means.
Like, vampires being repelled by the sign of the cross or garlic or jiangshi being compelled to stop and count/pick up every individual grain if you scatter rice from a sack.
We never stopped believing in monsters, we just invented new ones.

Are old monster stories also overwhelmingly antisemitic? I'd believe it tbh

No, I regret not being one the world's biggest morons.

Of course I'll thankful.
