Whoa, I think that's the first time I've ever seen anybody claim that nuclear weapons are a hoax. Claiming the moon land was a hoax is pretty standard fare, and denying space flight period is pretty out there, but drat.

I'm convinced. Every technological advancement since 1920 is a hoax. Maybe even the radio!

What the gently caress do people like this have to gain? I can sooort of understand the people humping the leg of 9/11 conspiracies because deep down they don't want to acknowledge that such a tragedy can take place. But loving HUBBLE?! Even if you do produce the literal thousands of pictures of earth and the solar system, they would still discard them as CGI. Also, GPS doesn't exist, nor did Einstein or Newton.

I am going by the notion that the particular person posting this isn't certified delusional.

Excuse me while I armchair psychologist, but I think the big one is that some people feel insecure about their own intelligence. They see that maybe they haven't achieved the intellectual heights that they wanted to, or maybe even just that there are other people out there who are way better than them in their field, so they construct this fantasy where they're the only ones (or part of a small exclusive group) that knows The Truth, and all those other people who appear more intelligent or successful are just being duped by NASA/Reptilians/Jews.

There is nothing that individuals can do that will approach the amounts of water used (wasted) on growing walnuts or whatever in California. It's like multiple gallons per walnut or something crazy like that.

You know, the usual poo poo: "these black people are ruining our country because they are <doing thing>," articles about some nutjob's power fantasy where he shoots some teenagers for doing one of those knockout pranks, etc. Nothing exciting enough to appear on daytime TV.

Reading through this thread, I am actually wondering if it is that aptly named.

I mean, there is a lot of idiocy, but it is kind of being overshadowed by the crazy stuff.

Of course, the two go hand in hand.

It probably comes from Lyndon LaRouche, who was writing crazy conspiracy stuff back "before it was cool". He had a particular hatred of the Jesuit Order for reasons that are...well, its a long story. Although, it is good to remember that the founder of the historial Illuminati was an ex-Jesuit :tinfoil:

Writing out a genealogy of crazy ideas is always interesting, especially because often people get ideas from people who they would otherwise not agree with. LaRouche was a right-winger, but probably many left-wing conspiracy theorists have learned to borrow his rhetoric.

There was some guy that SA was all over some years back whose rationale for space travel being a hoax was literally just his reasoning that the astronauts would be too scared to really do it, so it MUST be all faked. He had some religious reasoning for why there was nothing to gain in space, and that the moon would be too boring to bother landing on. The guy was super self absorbed with how talented at writing he was, and that God chose him to spread the wisdom of space fakery.
