I don’t really know what constitutes a conspiracy theory. Diamonds in wedding rings are essentially worthless, yet people still pay exorbitant amounts for them. So, I guess I’ll leave it to personal judgment.
Qanon
That’s a lot of conspiracy theories.
Flat Earth, the New World Order, the Illuminati, Jewish space lasers, Democrats/ Jews controlling the weather. MLK being killed by the government could be considered one, but, well. You know. All the classics.
Every construct theory in it’s most extreme form always seems to end up antisemitic, so I’d say the antisemitic tropes.
Depends.
Birds aren’t real is fake, but pretty popular, because it’s funny.
Flat earthing is also fake but somehow has a huge following.
Depends are real, the US president wears them
He wears a catheter connected to a tube that leads to a urine collection bag tied around his leg.
But he also shits himself regularly. Many people are saying it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
no shit? (pun intended)
Not exactly a conspiracy theory, but the idea that any of the “sovereign citizen” nonsense actually does anything.
this raises the question:
where does the line get drawn between conspiracy beliefs and genuine mental illness?
because if there’s a line it’s so fine I can’t fucking see it…
My favourite atm is that kirk’s wife had him killed.
ngl, seen deer shot with 30.06, not sure how anyone can figure he got zapped in the neck and it went in-through-out without a lot more damage…
Chemtrails
The titanic one is a good one
Fun fact in financial circles its a popular one. Especially given the old money aboard happened to be big in banking and wouldve opposed major central banking laws.
Avril Levine was replaced by a clone many years ago
Ooh that’s a fun one. Paul McCartney as well, apparently. The McCartney one gets me thinking sometimes because supposedly they left clues to this in some of their lyrics.
I have also heard this about Jamie Foxx and Kanye West. I’m sure there’s more.
Car phone chargers mess with radio antenna signal to support music streaming services.
I like the theory that suggests that JonBenét Ramsey wasn’t killed, and was instead kidnapped and secretly raised by her captors to be a singer, and grew up to become Katy Perry.
That’s a new one! I recently saw a different one About JonBenet that says Erika Kirk is actually her grown up, and she was kidnapped by Ghislaine Maxwell because she was in a picture from that birthday party or something.
My least favorite one is ancient aliens, because it is both inspired by Carl Sagan and inspired a ton of sci fi especially Stargate, but it’s also just white supremacy with extra steps.
I’m so conflicted.
How is ancient aliens inspired by Carl Sagan?
He wrote a book in the 60s that kind of suggested it was a possibility, but then walked it back within a few years and criticized people who latched on to it.
Intelligent Life in the Universe is the book.
He also wrote about this in Broca’s Brain
The only actual conspiracy theory i hear about irl is chemtrails
The most destructive one I’ve seen has been the anti-vax crowd. Almost feels like a state actor trying to gaslight the world.
yeah… almost.
Ronan Farrow is the biological offspring of Frank Sinatra, not Woody Allen.
