Half of 'conspiracy theorists' will tell you that the moon landing hoaxery is a stupid theory, which means at least half of conspiracy theorists are wrong about one of the oldest conspiracy theories to exist.

But they all will claim they're always right.

I do not waste my time with conspiracy theory nonsense. It's a waste of your fucking life and it frankly doesn't matter. If the govenrment came out and said "yes the moon landing was fake", what changes? Literally nothing. Some fat dumb rednecks will go "SEE I WAS RIGHT" and then... nobody cares. "Oh wow, huh." It has no bearing on anything in reality today, considering 99% of the people involved with it are dead anyway.

And even if they weren't what are you gonna do? Throw Buzz Aldrin jail?

My personal position is that the vast majority of 'conspiracy theories' are themselves a conspiracy theory seeded by the government.

Look at what we "know" the government has done in secret... it's almost entirely psyop stuff. Governments have proven to be very bad at actual kinetic actions.

Now let's pretend you're an all-powerful intelligence agency, ostensibly tasked with protecting the interests of the United States. You have a huge demographic of the country that fits the following stereotype:

1. Profoundly low-IQ/uneducated/unqualified,
2. Heavily armed,
3. Routinely express extreme dissatisfaction with the government,
4. Regularly talk about militias, revolution, etc.

There's too many to really "do" anything with like throw them all in camps. What's the next best thing? Make them insane. Make them impossible to take seriously. Make them paranoid, make them toxic to be around.

Because they're typically extremely stupid, it's very easy to get them to believe fantastic stuff. For example, the whole 'space lasers are blowing up cities'. Has anyone who actually has qualifications and education and expertise ever chimed in with the "space lasers are real" thing? Nope. The entire Lahaina DEW thing was started by a fucking real estate agent babbling stupid shit about blue roofs.

The conspiracy theorist fringe group is entirely impotent. They're too paranoid to organize, because they call everything and everyone a fed plot.

Look at how EASILY they all fell for "Patriot Front are feds" narrative. This narrative was invented and pushed by 'influencers' on the internet. Not only is there is no evidence, but "PF are feds" is such a ridiculous psyop that the brainwashed imbeciles who believe it literally can not even tell you what Patriot Front has ever even done that is bad.

The best I have ever gotten was "they make MAGA look bad". Do you think MAGA has ever needed any help at all to 'look bad'? January 6th made MAGA look worse than Patriot Front ever could have hoped.

Patriot Front hands out pamphlets and marches in silence. They protested LGBTQ faggotry in Idaho and got arrested for it. That's the sum total of their actions. What about this 'looks bad'?

Think about this: MKULTRA is real, but conspiracy theorists will effectively insist that they are 100% immune to MKULTRA psyops.

Think about this: Conspiracy theory 'threatens' the powers that be, but you can freely talk about conspiracy theory on pretty much every single major platform, and be a prominent conspiracy theorist and nothing happens to you.

Think about this: The 'conspiracy theory' that took (kind of) Alex Jones out was Sandy Hook. That was the only one. Why just Sandy Hook? One could argue that out of all the conspiracy theories, that means that Sandy Hook was the only one that was actually a real event without a conspiracy, OR it could mean that out of all the conspiracy theories, Sandy Hook was the only one that was a real conspiracy and the rest were not.

...

A lot of powerful people simply do not care what conspiracy theorists think, and it's time to ask questions about that and whether or not that means there's any point to wasting your time on conspiracy theories, especially ones that are decades old and at this point can not and never will be 'proven'.
