Favorite conspiracy

Postby South Olpen » Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:43 pm

What is your favorite conspiracy? Mine is that the middle ages were faked by the church. It is just so dumb and complicated. I forgot most of the specifics, but its mostly that the church and European monarchies faked about the 14th to 15th centuries to improve their image.

This is not a good time for the Mods, if they're in the US they're already drunk out of their tiny minds, in Europe they're asleep and in Asia they're nursing a hellish hangover from the previous night.

Not a very serious one, and I don't know if it counts as a conspiracy as well. But the New England Patriots deflategate was one I was around when it supposedly happened. I know nothing about American Football, other than well, balls. However there was a ruckus around based on it and I heard people around me expressing disapproval over the ball being deflated. Why do I like it? I was there to see the reaction.

Also dollar bills (if it is a conspiracy). I used to be able to find a bunch of YouTube videos where folding dollar bills gave out subliminal messages, like I remember there was one where folded correctly, could display a flooding city.
Lescaaris, a progressive democratic-diarchic merchant republic in the near-future "post-post-apocalyptic" America, where society is rebuilt and new nation-states have been created while the United States government is nowhere to be found (I doubt the setting is really important and relevant though). Famous for European architecture, EDM, nightclubs, civil liberties, job opportunities, and trade fairs.

(To get a general theme-idea, Lescaarch culture is a combination of Dutch, Italian, Belgian, Monégasque, and French cultures.)

My favourite, one I post occasionally in jest whenever the subject of aliens comes up, and one where I don't care whether it's true or not as I prefer to live in a world where it's true in my head.. but..

..David Bowie is in the Tesla that was launched into space.

Even further that we discovered programmed protons - unfolded to 13 dimensions, programmed and folded back to 3 - that are causing everything from climate crisis, dysfunctional politics to Covid and more.. to disrupt our technological progress prior to aliens coming over to invade.. and so in response we have sent David Bowie to negotiate peace terms.

It's all true.

My favorite conspiracy that I actually believe is that the United States federal government was purposefully apathetic in response to the opioid crisis because communities where people are addicted, in prison, or mourning the deaths of loved one are more easily controllable by their capitalist masters.

My favorite conspiracy just based on how amusing it is is that Lady Gaga's Alejandro is a satanic song in which the three men she names represent the father, son, and holy spirit.

It's important to go back to the beginning.

According to my research, Gilgamesh faked the deluge in order to protect Enkidu. All our ills stem from that terrible conspiracy.

My recent favorite is the one claiming Barron Trump is actually Donald and Ivanka's kid. But my etermal favorite is the one about people being blacklisted by the US gov if you publicly call a Canadian, a Mexican or a Brazilian "American".

my favourite conspiracy theory is the one which quite correctly points out the world is practically ruled by financiers, investors, CEOs, industrialists, etc. all engaging in the rotten circuit of capital to oppress the plentiful have-nots of the world -- mainly because it's true, blatantly out in the open, and nobody does a damn thing about it
