It's one thing to have Q-Anon conspiracies out there for people to potentially find on their own and go down the rabbit hole, but it's another entirely to have a CEO rather obviously pushing it into the algorithm on their social network. A lot of people I know from work and in my building are really into these conspiracies in general. They just seem to come in a bundle, you get one you get them all from these people, probably because it's all coming from the same source pushing them. I wouldn't know entirely since I don't actively go looking for crazy brained conspiracy poo poo to assist in amplifying some sort of confirmation bias.

The conspiracy I believe in is that for the most part, most people/companies are too stupid/short sighted/loose lipped to actually maintain any long term conspiracy.

There are close to 100,000 medical doctors and specialists in Australia.
That's a lot of people to pay off and make sure they keep quiet or let anything slip! That's not even getting into Scientists and such!

The most effective conspiracy isn't one that needs to keep track of 100,000 people making sure their toes are in line.

If you'd ask me back then I'd never thought the internet would just get worse in so many ways.

The funny thing is how the most outlandish poo poo is what gets accepted the easiest. Microscopic microchips in the vaccine that reprogram people to eat babies and vote Democrat? I’m going to go scream at traffic on my weekend off and maybe engage in some insurrection if the opportunity avails itself!

Laws are crafted by the richest of the rich to keep themselves rich while the media outlets they own and control keep the rest of us too distracted and busy fighting amongst ourselves to ever improve our own lots in life? And you’ve got decades of proof to back this up? Looks like we got us a libtard cuck NPC over here boys! *starts blasting*

It's not about measurable, demonstrable, historically repeated and proven things.

you know, i really wish they were that harmless and stupid but they aren't. the conspiracy theories that gain the most traction these days are literally the exact same "blood libel" conspiracy theories that fueled some of the nastiest pogroms in medieval europe, just with a slight veneer of internet culture absurdity painted onto them. they've already led to violence and this poo poo is going to have much more severe consequences than crappy malware from the early 00's.

Mozi posted:

yea conspiracies happen all the time, most of them just tend to be rather mundane events like "group of people decides to commit insurance fraud". they aren't always about cover ups, many of them are about making money. or blaming a different faction for one's own violence (e.g. right-wing forces committing acts of terror and blaming it on left-wing groups in italy in the 70's). its the global mastermind/reptilian poo poo that involves elements of fantasy, but elements that are easy to believe because humans naturally can and do conspire to do nefarious poo poo all the time, on a smaller scale.

Which is also how we get more extreme cases of "I'm not racist but".

We got most of em to accept racism as bad, but that only means their brains go "racism is bad; I'm good; therefore I'm not racist but..."

I thought it was predominantly by being born rich and powerful, and you endlessly relent anyone fortunate enough to stumble upwards into the same amount of money(which can only be done by ruthlessly undercutting god knows how many other people helped make it happen on top of being ungodly lucky)

E: error I mean, you live very frugally by selling off emeralds your father lifted from his mining operation. Your dad owns a mine right? No. Well neither did mine come to think of it, I'm a self made man and I don't know where all this apartheid mine nonsense comes from.
