Rules (interactive)

That's it.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

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...
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.

There is so much material out there from people in the CIA itself telling how the cannon of all this stuff is them making people believe that shit, e.g. area 51 to distract from actual weapon testing. -

You forgot flat earth.
Hollow earth is a fun one too.
Definitely up there. I didn't include it because others mentioned it already when I wrote this.

Chemtrails, trump not being a felon, 5G caused Covid, horse de-wormer covid cure, drinking bleach cures autism, god
driving bleach? I assume you mean drinking (which for obvious reasons is not a good idea). Also, what the heck is a horse de-wormer?
Oops;)
Ivermectin
Iverctim, the drug approved for human use in 1987, given to tens of millions over 40 years and whose discoverers got the Nobel price in medicin, listed by the WHO as an essential drug?
That horse dewormer?
Snap, checkmate! Maybe I’ll chug some bleach and shove a UV light up my ass too then.
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...
Popular conspiracy theories according to me:
- Fluoridation of municipal water supplies is some evil government program to disperse drugs / chemicals
- Roswell was an alien UFO crash, the aliens / craft are being kept at Area 51.
- JFK was not assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald alone. He was killed by the CIA / 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll.
- Moon landing was faked
- Condensation trails (contrails) from high altitude aircraft are actually chemicals being dispersed by the government (chemtrails)
- The Earth (and only the Earth, not the Sun, moon, other planets) is a flat disc.
- Automakers have cars that run on water but they refuse to sell them to protect the oil industry.
- Global warming / climate change is a hoax to sell solar / wind / hydro power.
- Big pharma / doctors have all the cures but they're not selling them to keep you sick & them rich
- 9/11 was an inside job (planned by George W. Bush)
- COVID-19 vaccines deposited secret microchips in the population
JFK was not assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald alone. He was killed by the CIA / 2nd shooter on the grassy knoll
Actually no one killed him. His head just did that.

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.
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.
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.

The only actual conspiracy theory i hear about irl is chemtrails
I would guess:
- Moon landing was faked
- Anti-vax stuff.
- The entire scientific community and goverments are making global warming up and hiding evidence to the contrary. Somehow, for some reason.
Popular in media but probably not many actually believe:
- Space aliens are here and goverments somehow are able to hide that. Good luck with that I say.
- The eart is flat and all of academia is teaching the wrong thing. For no reason.
Try selling diamonds jewelary on the second hand market. You'll get the gold value.
9/11 was an inside job. There’s a belief that elements within the U.S. government orchestrated the attacks.
I think the US government knew about it, maybe not exactly orchestrated it, but they intentionally allowed it to happen to justify expanding powers.
I mean like... I only believe this 60% true, there's 40% of me that think government is just this incompetent.
I think even that gives them too much credit. It’s just incompetence.
The US “did 9/11” by interfering with global affairs for decades until one of those schemes finally backfired.
I don’t think there’s any conspiracy necessary beyond that to explain everything.

Deep state & FBI cover ups of child sex-trafficking rings run by cabals of shadowy elites linked to the unfalsifiable existence of the Epstein files.
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.
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.
