      If midterms couldn’t change anything, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to ratfuck them.

      While we are doomed under democratic leadership as it stands, that does not make our situation hopeless, we just need real leadership. But to get there we need to realize the democratic establishment is unwilling to save us. They are the enemy. We need popular reform, and an aggressive opposition that knows how to build and run a political machine.

      This isn’t 1990 as the democrats think, it’s 1929.

    I’m surprised the Epstein isn’t dead theory isn’t more popular. The conspiracy protecting him was finally unambiguously uncovered to be real, then the FBI released doctored footage the cell he “committed suicide” in. No funeral. No nothing. Just confirmation that all the most richest people in the world are implicated and have the means to cover it up

      When ol’ Kenny-boy from Enron magically died right before his trial, which enabled his family to retain all of his money, that’s when I first started realizing that maybe these fake deaths for the ultra-wealthy are plausible.

    Flat earth. At the point we’re at now when it comes to personally accessible technology, anyone still believing it is 100% making a choice to do so, because it makes them feel better about things for some reason.

        the dunes at the beach, three layers, water, sand dunes, and trees atop them.

        the sandunes disappear first, then the trees. if it was flat, they would both converge at the sea level with straight lines (with some irregularities because the beach isn’t a straight line).

        and that’s just one way. with zero tech, or even measurements.

      The Social Tilemma touched on this. Weird shit would get popular and invode your Facebook feed. I’ve never seen anything real about it, I don’t use Facebook, Instagram or tiktok, have only seen memes making fun of flat earthers.

      Fucking crazy that idea like Pizza gate took off the way it did, idiots I tell you. Being fed dogshit and eating it up like they’re starving.

      I thought it was Rafael Cruz’s dad is the one who was supposed to be the Zodiac killer. Or is the conspiracy that his dad was covering for him so he could go into politics and flee Texas as soon as it got chilly?

    Vaccines cause autism and/or other major health issues for a significant portion of the population. Since vaccination rates in large parts of the world are close to 90% for important vaccines you’d be seeing large numbers of cases for whatever negative effect you think they had. E.g. if vaccines actually did cause autism, in a population where 90% are vaccinated you’d surely have more than the current ~1% of autism diagnosis.

    Also the Covid vaccine killing people in large numbers. When the vaccine started rolling out a colleague told me with a straight face that the covid vaccine had already killed 1/3 of the population in Bulgaria (or maybe it was another eastern European country). She absolutely 100% believed it and said the media was covering it up.

    Tartaria

    The idea that in the past hundred years or so, a mud flood wiped out a global, advanced society and the world governments are suppressing the truth. It got a recent resurgence on tiktok.

      I fucking wish that was a conspiracy theory. At least conspiracy theories are fun, this not so much.
