What is your favourite conspiracy theory?

[julieca]

I love the crazy conspiracy theories. So my favourite ones are that birds arent real and that Paul McCartney is dead and the man we see now is a lookalike.
What about you?

Finland doesn't exist, it's a secret trade route.

The covid vaccine contains chips that are tracking us.

@PPCD

Finland doesn't exist, it's a secret trade route.

I was coming on to say that one...It's absolutely batshit!

The creator of The Simpsons is a time traveller.

Flat earth. It’s so logical but illogical at the same time. Rabbit hole

I havent heard that one

The royal family are part of the reptilian elite.

Flixborough

We are all living in some kind of computer game being controlled by a higher being.

It wasn't the Titanic that sank, it was her already damaged sister ship who was sunk for the insurance money. According to this theory all the passengers were meant to be picked up but stuff went wrong.

Oh this thread is gonna get good

That our world, and us, are all just an experiment in a petrie dish.

@Soyouthought

I work with someone who embarrassingly believes that. I thought she was joking and laughed when she said she thought that. She has since emailed me links to videos that apparently "prove" the earth really is flat.

Never heard that one but did know about the sister ship. Just didn't know there was a story behind it!

The moon landings were not real, but that’s only my favourite one because it annoys my kids

@MrsFoxyplease last I heard that was actually one of the front runners / made most sense for what reality actually is

Finland and Flat Earth are two of my faves. There is a doc on Netlix about the flat earth and it's quite interesting. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be to be so convinced of something but the entire world convinced of something else?

Some of the vax stuff is also quite interesting like it goes DEEP. The latest on that front is some carbon best-in-the-world specialist who 'whistle blew' them containing carbon razors and got murdered within an hour of posting the video. I feel like that whole arena is conspiracy on steroids.

So I'd have to say Finland for fun, Flat Earth for empathy, and C-Vax for WTF mind-boggleyness. Most boring has to be the Moon Landings. I mean... even if it was faked it doesn't really mean anything does it?

Denver International Airport is a secret base for the new world order. In all fairness when you read about how... well... bizarre the place is it doesn’t seem unbelievable. I’m more convinced it was somebody having a laugh though

I've just been down a Satanist rabbit hole on Twitter, where Jennifer Arcuri (BJs old squeeze) is RTing tweets from a woman who claims this year's No.10 Christmas card shows Satan on the front door. Fucking nuts.

Oooh I love this thread - thanks OP.
I find the 9/11 ones fascinating - particularly the one about the plane which flew into the Pentagon being an illusion -that the hole it left wasnt big enough to fit the plane!
I also jad a flat earther coworker who I thought was joking!

That the DofE gave instructions to MI6 to bump Diana Spencer off. And I’ve met ppl who actually believe it. That and governments are using the covid vaccination to inject v small tracking devices into the population.

That the Earth was created in 7 days by a celestial being...

The Queen is already dead

Omicron is an abbreviation for No Crimbo.

Also

9/11 was a hoax or an inside job.

Chemtrails

My serious one is all the space missions. Well not all. Just space race. Missing cosmonauts from Soviet and the moon landings USA. When I said this in 2000 I was shouted down. But I notice a lot more people give this credence now.
