Tankies scuttled the election
I just cannot fathom how they think there are enough of us to matter, and how we have any meaningful political power at all. The enemy is both strong and weak. The enemy is laughable, yet an omnipresent threat. Obsession with a plot, often international. Like just say "Judeo-Bolsheviks" if that's what you want to say.

everything is a spooky conspiracy now. people are divining meaning from every tidbit of information.
Carl Sagan's Daemon Haunted World was pure prophecy
Drives me bonkers bc I'll talk about some completely unbelievable looney tunes cartoon villain shit and people will be "uhh that's a conspiracy theory" and then I'll start crying and pull up the org's website where there mission statement is "we do completely unbelievable looney tunes cartoon villain shit which is totally legal and thus does not count as a conspiracy"
it's just no fun to "do your own research" when the research is just presented as a first hand source by the perpetrators of the conspiracy
they want the New Game + not the easy mode because everything is a form of warped entertainment-cope
I maintain that the batshit conspiracy theories were cultivated and amplified by three letter agencies and the like for the express purpose of poisoning the well with regards to the actual real conspiracies that did and do happen. Now whenever you talk about these looney tunes cartoon villain shit crimes and events, it's easy as fuck for anyone to write you off as you yourself being looney with with "that's just a conspiracy theory" as if conspiracies don't happen. But look people, conspiracies do happen. All the fucking time. And it's open knowledge that cannot be denied, it's even admitted to. "That's a conspiracy theory" is not a remotely valid reason for thinking it didn't happen! Meanwhile the false batshit stuff gets pushed relentlessly at every opportunity, even into mainstream pop culture, and that's what ends up getting treated with a "hmmm, well maybe" by the same people who will scoff at you for trying to tell them of real things that can be verified. It's truly maddening.
Popular belief that all conspiracy theories are each just "a conspiracy theory" is itself a conspiracy.
(And like all conspiracies, when you try to explain this, you're disregarded for pedaling in conspiracy theories.)Me too. It's no coincidence that conspiracy theories as a concept were very popular with the Nazis, and that the term "conspiracy theory" only entered the public lexicon after the JFK assassination. It is a fantastic way to make anyone who questions the "official story" get dismissed out of hand, and in turn, also leads those same people to absurd anti-materialist nonsense instead of actual explanations.
