minus-squarepetrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·9 months agoMy favorite thing about conspiracy theories is the all-at-once victory these events are supposed to be. Like, dissenting opinions are so heavily discouraged that everything gets turned into some 5D mental chess gambit. So you get things like: They were trying to kidnap scientists without anyone knowing Okay. Kind of elaborate for that, but why not. And they made a lot of money. O… kay. I guess. Does that mean the money was important to the scientist kidnappi— And there was a lot of evidence on that plane they needed gone, too. Wow, popping this plane really was a golden egg, wasn’t it?
