Doesn’t have to be one you think is true or even possible. Could be niche or mainstream. Mine is probably Mike Tyson threw that Jake Paul fight. I heavily believe Tyson did everything he could and is just old. Not to mention he’s fighting a roided up good athlete in his physical prime with a limited engagement strategy. I do like hearing people argue its all staged, understandable cope.
George Bush meeting with Harambe’s mother in 1999. I don’t know what the conspiracy is, but damn it makes me feel weird to see this.
Harambre was a Human-gorilla hybrid thought to be impossible. He could speak and was planning to “spill the beans” about his origin.
Noooooooo
Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace was originally planned to be a covert Sith Master. He force jumps, he uses mind control, and he “accidentally” sabotages them. But the negative reaction to him was so strong, Lucas reworked the last 2 scripts of the prequels and is why Count Dooku basically comes out of nowhere.
At that point George’s writing and directing was so shitty, Jar Jar would have had an evil smirk or some stupid Sith one-liner that he repeated every 15 min.
Something something something dark side. Something something something complete.
God dammit I hate that one so much haha. Good pull though.
99% of plastic recycling programs are useless and are staged to make people feel good about themselves.
That’s not a conspiracy LOL, there’s plenty of greenwashing around that costs more in environmental effects than if we’d just partied like it’s 1977.
I already believe it haha, please enable my conspiratorial ways more
Only thing that is profitable (read the only thing capitalists are interested in recycling) is aluminum and maybe glass.
This isn’t a conspiracy at all. Plastic recycling was originally driven by plastic producers, to shift the blame for pollution away from themselves. Basically, it was a way for the producers to go “it’s not our fault the world is full of plastic. It’s the consumer’s fault for failing to recycle all of it!” They saw the inevitable plastic mountain on the horizon, and took steps to ensure they weren’t going to be blamed for it.
And make a little money on the side.

Yeah, over well over 25 years ago, like I was a child and thought adults knew everything…my uncle said all of your recycling goes to China and gets burnt. So I reckon that this one is definitely, undoubtedly true.

Probably just a real thing
Kubrick shot the (fake) moon landing, and NASA gave him the lens he used to shoot Barry Lyndon as a reward.
But, ah, you’ll say, I know the joke! He was such a perfectionist that he shot it on location!
Wrong! Kubrick hated traveling. He filmed it in London.
He was a perfectionist, though, so he had NASA land astronauts on the moon to take reference pictures for the backgrounds.
This read like a boxer training on a speed bag.
I’ve always loved the Denver Airport conspiracy theory - that it is actually the secret headquarters of the illuminati or other organisations. It was $2bn over budget and has tunnels under it, which have led people to claim there are also secret bunkers under the airport. It also has a few bizarre pieces of art within it.
I think it’s just an airport with ugly aesthetic choices but I love that people think of all the places a global secret society would base itself, they’d pick Denver Airport.
Apparently there are 6 underground levels at the airport - but they’re used to run an airport. And the tunnels were for a failed automated baggage transport system. The art is just art.
I love the art bit of it.
Let’s build this secret underground bunker system that no one can know about. But also, scatter weird art and clues around, in case nicolas cage is visiting
That’s a key component of the Illuminati conspiracies. Basically, they believe that Illuminati members are required to create symbolism, as a way of telling the plebs “hey, we’re here and there’s nothing you can do to stop us.”
Grey aliens aren’t actually aliens? They are evolved time traveling humans from the future.
Pale grey skin bc climate is destroyed and they can’t go outside. Smaller due to poor nutrition related to climate change. Big eyes for the lack of light and use of screens. Long fingers for typing.
I don’t actually believe in aliens or anything but I like the idea of this, if aliens were an actual thing.
That’s a weird one, because that also means you have to firmly believe in grey aliens.
Yeah, I don’t but i like the idea anyway
That’s a great one
Epstein didn’t kill himself. He might not even be dead.
The only issue I have with that is with the amount of wealth and connections he had, he probably would have disappeared himself before he was arrested. Unless someone even more connected felt the need to shut him up before he had the chance to use the dirt he had on people.
If he disappeared, people would pursue him. Given the compromising material on other wealthy and powerful people he likely had access to, it wouldn’t just be western law enforcement, but potentially intelligence agencies of adversaries, criminal organizations, and the compromised individuals themselves.
I don’t mean just disappear, I mean fake his own death prior to being in prison
That’s a wild one.
The secret service accidentally killed JFK after the magic bullet. It explains the unlikely 4 shots from Oswald. It explains why the kill shot acted differently than the magic bullet. It explains why there were reports of the smell of gun smoke on the ground.
But most importantly it explains how the conspiracy could actually be kept a secret. If a secret service gun delivered the killing shot and that became public knowledge, the secret service wouldn’t exist today. It’s a fuck up so collosal it actually has the potential to keep everyone’s mouths shut. It would have been an even greater embarrassment on the world stage at the absolute peak of tension in the cold war.
I could see a bunch of government men in shady rooms agreeing to keep the secret, the president was already shot. He probably would have died already from his wounds. Oswald was technically correct when he called himself a Patsy.
descibed in detail in the book Mortal Error by Bonar Menninger, a sharpshooter and ballistics expert
for some reason people pretend like it’s impossible to keep a big secret under wraps…
the nazi’s kept their death camps secret for years…
thousands of people across the world were/are complicit in covering up a pedophile/rape pipeline that encompasses pretty much the entire US/Israel/Western “elite”, from government officials, various media-oligarchs, actors, business…kept that underwraps for decades…
when you control all the media outlets you can control everything anyone ever sees/hears
The unfortunate paradox of using examples of secrets is that by definition that secrecy failed. A completely successful conspiracy never even becomes a theory.
Honestly? My real conspiracy theory is that the the fappening wasn’t an Apple iCloud leak, it was a NSA leak.
In 2014 a whole bunch of celebrities nude photos got put up anonymously on 4chn and reddit. The FBI ended up blaming a guy from Cleveland. But during the same time the NSA was operating under a 6 hop rule for sweeping cell phones and operators at Langley were notorious for copying off photos from random cellphones that they could access too.
The 6 hops rule let the NSA guys get a secret warrant to remotely search a phone if someone is a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact of a contact who’s a suspected terrorist. That is a hell of a lot of people and I’m sure a lot of celebrities.
So I’m sure the guys at the NSA were collecting and then trading various celebrities nude photos, and one of them was stupid enough to start posting them for clout on 4chn. I believe that they were disciplined and that put a stop to it but they had to find someone to take the heat and they got Apple to do that.I’m surprised all the photos weren’t just Kevin Bacon
The National Sociopath Agency being sociopath? Surprised Pikachu Face
Pretty much everything “New World Order”: One of the oldest and most common labels for conspiracy theories that claim a secretive power elite with a globalist agenda is conspiring to eventually rule the world under a totalitarian one-world government.
Edit: Although there are certainly some signs of such conspiracies today, the absurd thing about many of these theories is that they are often used by right-wing extremists to gain support for ideas that are very close to the goals of the conspirators described in such theories.
The best example is probably MAGA with its “cabal” of child molesters. Now that their leader is president, it is telling that MAGA has gone quiet on this conspiracy theory - and no one there is talking anymore about the fact that influential billionaires are becoming richer and more influential under the MAGA regime.
I have always found such things interesting, as they themselves give rise to conspiracy theories.
It’s absurd to think a bunch of pro wrestlers could organize all that.
That reminds me of a conspiracy theory about Jim Carey being a serial killer who murdered pro wrestler Chris Benoit: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1585159586960486401.html
Yes, that’s why all of this provides such good material for conspiracy theories: the dull-witted MAGA workforce certainly didn’t come up with this themselves, but most likely rather their financial backers behind the scenes. The people in the administration are also benefiting, of course, but I think most of them are more like the front for smarter people who prefer not to appear in public office - people like Thiel and the like.
As I said, this is all conspiracy theory because it cannot be proven beyond doubt, but it is remarkable how well particularly unscrupulous fascists are working together worldwide these days, how visible they are in both traditional and social media, and how respectable their standing is in the business world despite their blatant Nazi rhetoric.
When you consider that it is not a conspiracy theory but reality that the power to bring this about actually lies in the hands of a few billionaires, you have to at least be suspicious.
But yes, all these strange developments could easily turn you into a conspiracy theorist yourself - and probably in a way that is at least some what plausible, despite the lack of evidence. At least it seems to me that there is significantly more circumstantial evidence here than for all the ridiculous fantasy stories that the fascists continue to spread.
I’m pretty sure you got wooshed lol, New World Order was the wrestling group Hulk Hogan was a part of
Ah, thank you! I don’t know anything about wrestling - only that the US Secretary of Education, Lisa McMahon, is the wife of wwe wrestling promoter Vince McMahon, who has been tried several times for rape and sex trafficking (and is, of course, a good friend of the orange rapist). I thought that was what this comment referred to.
All Silicon Valley believe the Rokko’s Basilisk theory
Makes sense why they are throwing so much money at trying to create it.
Which is why we fucked
that’s why I’m deliberately rude and obstructive to AI to accelerate it, just in case.
I wish I could not confirm this, but I can.
The British Library sponsored the colonization of Africa in order to destroy all evidence of a continent-spanning empire ruled exclusively by women. I mostly like it because the empire had war giraffes.
Oooh, I like this one!
Not much of a conspiracy theorist guy, but: JFK was killed by the CIA, MLK and Malcolm X were partially killed by the US government at least, Jeffery Epstein was killed by DJ Trump, during his presidency, and was also an Israel asset, October 7 and 9/11 could be (partially) inside jobs based on how both countries used these attacks to start massive wars/genocides.
October 7
and 9/11could be (partially) inside jobsNetanyahu actually supported Hamas and their takeover as the leading military force in Palestine specifically because he knew they were far more militant against Israel. A perpetual common enemy for his shithead Zionist population to rally behind forever.
This is the same asshole who starts a new war every time he’s due for a trial for corruption.
