I recall someone I knew that worked higher up in the US government scoffed at the idea of many of the "Government" conspiracies as not plausible due to the sheer incompetence of most government.
Getting them to tie their shoes in unison was difficult enough versus keeping some big secret from the public over the generations.
With the amount of stupid people in the general public as it is I just view it as incompetence as at fault most of the time versus big cover ups.
The more people that must participate in a conspiracy for it to work, the less likely it is to be true.
Can 3 people keep a secret? Sure. Can 1000 people keep a secret? Hell no!
People also vastly overestimate how many people need to be in the known to participate in a conspiracy.
The chemical companies who dumped pfas into the environment fully aware of their problems had thousands of employees, how many of them do you think were part of the plan to keep it under wraps?
It's very easy to come up with excuses and string people along, you don't need to sit them around a table and explain your evil plot.
There's a conspiracy not because there are smart people orchestrating it
There's a conspiracy because there are dumb people doing things because they think they are smart but in reality they don't know what they are doing
I've thought for a while about making a series to parody the likes of Alex Jones where I play a liberal equivalent of Jones and play heavily into the stereotypes that the far right have of the left.
So like congratulating us libs on things like turning the frogs gay, encouraging us to keep the flat earth a secret, bragging about the millions I'm being paid by NASA to be a shill, and praising Neil DeGrasse Tyson as the Lord and Saviour of our atheist beliefs.
Not to mention plenty of babies to eat and abortions to perform 👌
Everyone knows that the earth is not flat. Turtle backs aren‘t flat!
It’s globes all the way down.
That's why the elephants stand between.
Wouldn't it need a section of counter weight if elephants were carrying it?
Two dimensional turtles are! 🐢
When I was younger I used to believe many conspiracies, then I noticed that same thing.
flat earthers are funi
Wtf is happening in the top picture?
