I don't think anyone itt is particularly shocked that the US did something evil, just baffled at why they did it

I used to date a chick who was super into Pharma conspiracy theories. See was profoundly mentally ill (otherwise she wouldn't have even considered dating me lol) and refuse to take her meds because of the afformentioned conspiracies. The relationship didn't last long but the sex was great. In retrospect I kinda regret not starting a falloutesque bunker to raise a family with her

FactsAreUseless posted:What makes conspiracy theorists like Alex Jones so effective is that the U.S. has legitimately done a bunch of crazy poo poo that sounds like conspiracy theories. MK Ultra, basically every single thing we did in the South America during the Cold War, Iran-Contra, every single thing about J. Edgar Hoover and the Dulles brothers, we sent pallets of cash to Iraq that vanished (this isn't even a conspiracy, just a baffling fuckup), the CIA sold cocaine to fund arms trade, the Tuskegee experiment, etc. etc. It all sounds exactly like the made-up theories, just with different nouns. The only difference is it's proven history. The CIA doing evil poo poo is completely understandable. The fact that they are utterly incompetent at said evil poo poo despite their vast resources is baffling
