Absolutely frying my brain by listening to a nerd on youtube talk about all the different kinds of wild conspiracy theories out there while I'm doing other things.
How do people believe some of this shit? What the hell.
@LexYeen Conspiracy theory: all the wild conspiracy theories are intentionally invented and propagated to distract from real conspiracies
actually that's... distressingly plausible

@Felthry Reminder: The more people who are supposedly in on something, or who would need to be in on something for the conspiracy to maintain secrecy, the more unlikely it is to actually be true.
@Felthry Oh, capitalism isn't a conspiracy, it's a mindset that utterly disregards long-term consequences for short-term gain.
As for corrupt politicians? They often wind up incriminating themselves with their own greed - either for money or power. The only question is if they actually get punished.
