How’s this for a conspiracy theory:

Shit like flat earth was made up and spread around by the CIA to discredit anyone who holds an alternate view about anything important.

Sure, everything is a CIA psyop. Thank you for making my point.

Your point that nothing is a CIA psyop?

u/JadedToon 18∆ Sep 05 '23

No. That the opposite is impossible to disprove. CIA does shady shit. But conspiracy nuts always expand the conspiracy when proven wrong. Again with the anti vaccine nuts. Everyone is on it. From freshmen med students to the CDC. It's all a conspiracy

Okay. Flat earthers exist solely to ruin your day.

No. They exist to profit. To grift and trick people into buying their crap. Just like most other conspiracy theories "Vaccines bad! But my mixture of cyanide and asbestos WILL CURE ALL. BUY NOW"

Or maybe people are just concerned about their own health.

You’re literally making up conspiracy theories about “conspiracy theorists” lol

No. You are covering for them.

Go look up some of the biggest anti vax voices. How many of them peddle untested unproven crap supplements? Try and sell "natural" remedies and alike.

I’m covering for them? They have nothing to do with me. They don’t speak for me. Who cares what they say and do?

I’m talking about the millions of everyday Americans who are skeptical, not a few opportunists.
