Question came about from watching this random standup yt video
The Government Is Lying to You - Ron Funches
That majority of the opinions online are created and manipulated by special interest groups. All mainstream sites are astroturfed to steer discussion.
The 9/11 was an inside job stuff, but only the part where part of the US government knew that something was going to happen and let it happen. That gave them the opportunity to set up stuff like the Patriot Act and gave them a (wonky) reason to invade the middle east.
Yeah this is as far as I’ll take that one as well, except I’ll do one further. All that “controlled demolition” stuff is to distract rubes and make them sound like crackpots so no one takes the “hey we knew and did nothing” take seriously from anyone.

Yeah, what was it? By the end of the day Rumpsfeld and Cheney had convinced Bush to go after Sadam Hussein and people who knew the ME were confused about that.
I don’t buy for a second that “they let it happen” though. The conspiracy is that they didn’t waste a good crisis.
Yeah maybe it’s some sort of confirmation bias from me, it’s my take on the conspiracy. But given all the shady shit the US government has done, I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew and let it happen. As you said they absolutely took advantage of the crisis.
Mark Felton did a 6 episode series on YT on how the alleged burnt bodies of Hitler and Eva Braun found by the soviets, are actually plants.
Not that Hitler survived the war or anything, they were just buried elsewhere nearby, probably in a civilian mass grave, to prevent the soviets from parading the real bodies around.
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.
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?
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.

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?
Just because conspiracies likely do happen on a regular basis doesn’t mean that any popular conspiracy theory has found one.
Remember, the big conspiracies like Watergate or the NSA leaks where not uncovered by conspiracy theorists. They where not uncovered by cherry-picking factoids from public government statements and “doing ones own research” aka using Google. They were uncovered by whistleblowers speaking out and journalists double-checking and following up on information they were given.
As a side note — the poor boy with this scumbag father who constantly lies to him.
CIA blew up the Nordstream pipeline.
I’m not sure if this counts as a conspiracy, but I wholeheartedly believe that aliens are real, but that we have no way of ever contacting them or confirming their existence because they’re so damn far away
Indeed not a conspiracy. A conspiracy involves a crew of conspirators conspiring to do something illegal or unethical.
If it’s just the laws of physics conspiring, it doesn’t count.
Not sure that even counts as a conspiracy.
Yeah, surely it’s only a conspiracy if there’s proof of aliens that’s being hidden from people.
I believe the Disney Channel with their over serialization of minors is responsible for a lot of pedophilia that is going on.
A lot of ‘unproven’ assassinations, mostly. And private interests having a stranglehold on governments.
That the US Government killed MLK. I looked at the Wikipedia article (I’m saying my knowledge is not that in-depth, don’t @ me), and the case in either direction is less than compelling to me. I’d say if the government didn’t kill King, it would have been a matter of time.
Absolutely none of them.
None? Pretty sure if you look into them you may think one of them may have something to it…

I hate that conspiracies have been hijacked by lunatics. If I were to plan something with someone else against you, that’s a conspiracy. They happen all the time and they are usually true.
The key metric is always: how many people would have to be in on it and never say anything. The ones that are hundreds or thousands of people are obvious nonsense. If it’s just a handful of people, it’s perfectly plausible.
That’s tricky, because “conspiracy theory” implies a level of deception that makes falsifiability of anything difficult. Like, if somebody starts chatting me up on the street and I wonder if I’m going to get scammed or jumped, that’s a theory about a conspiracy, but it’s not a conspiracy theory because it only involves a few people and I still can be sure what’s up and what’s down.
Epstein being murdered gets called a conspiracy theory, but if a couple of guards, a warden and a single wealthy instigator were the only participants, and they were really sloppy covering it up, is that really so implausible?
I think you are overthinking it.
Could have been anything:
parents lying about santa, maybe
moon landing, nasa
Anything is good, hahahah
The Epstein thing was my answer to the spirit of the question, if that wasn’t clear. I just added some analysis, since I don’t believe actual conspiracy theories by definition, on epistemological grounds.
The Helen Keller conspiracy feels like it could be a real.
The sheer number of fake elections in history.
