Hmm. I’m going to start digging into that. Digging deep.
People who do their own research but don’t cite professional research are idiots.
WRONG! It’s to makes us think more about things that ain’t real and are beyond yas control and less about how you’s getting screwed by the billionaires and how you got leverage against them
This one is actually true, introducing conspiracy theories is a proven tactic to water down actual discourse on subjects like the Epstein files, data collection, crop-dusting, or Israeli committing genocide.
The conspiracy isn’t “aliens don’t exist.”
The conspiracy is “aliens do exist and the government is hiding them.”
The government spreads this to hide actual secrets.
That’s a name they want you to react to, Semi. It’s a trigger phrase. You think that’s a coincidence? That’s how they tag citizens in the database!
See, everybody thinks the conspiracy is whether aliens exist. That’s amateur hour. That’s what they feed the masses so they can feel smart arguing about it at the Mega Lo Mart checkout line.
The real conspiracy… is that aliens absolutely exist, and the government needs you arguing about it. Keeps your eyes off the real operation—interdimensional trade agreements, cattle mutilation tax write-offs, and whatever’s going on in Nevada that smells like propane and betrayal.
And you know how they keep it buried? They leak just enough “truth” to make it look crazy. Grainy photos, lunatics on late-night radio, a guy named “Dale”, who just happens to sound unhinged—yeah, I’m onto that too.
That’s called narrative control, Semi. You don’t hide the truth—you poison it so nobody credible wants to touch it.
So no, the conspiracy isn’t “aliens don’t exist.” That’s the decoy. The conspiracy is that they’ve turned the truth into a joke… and now anyone who gets close to it gets lumped in with me.
…which is exactly what they want.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to rotate my bug-out tuna supply. The cans have started listening.
Make sure you don’t stack your tuna cans vertically, else the government can use them as an antenna!
There absolutely are real conspiracies, USA mass surveillance, corporate control over media and censorship, social media amplifying autocratic propaganda while shadowbanning democratic content, big tech making propaganda easily accessible though text, image and video generation, fossil fuel oligarchs lobbying against change for the better, anything Epstein was doing, etc.
No need to invent stuff.
USA mass surveillance isn’t a conspiracy theory because they’ve been pretty open about it.
NSA warrantless surveillance was a huge topic in the 2000s and even involved a lot of litigation.
They didnt say theory
Right, sorry, mb. In that case I think their anti-journalism take is pretty wacky.
It’s not an anti journalism take. Journalism is valuable. I mean the american media landscape and the control mega corporations have over almost all of their popular media. Disney, WB and Netflix come to mind.
When people talk about “the media” they generally talk about the news broadcasts and talkshows which are extremely varied in opinions from John Oliver to Craig Melvin to Tucker Carlson. You even get some of them praising Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, or anti-democracy advocates, such as Tucker Carlson.
Mergers and monopolies are a big issue, but to imply the CIA is running Fox News is pretty ludicrous. If anything it wouldn’t surprise me if the Murdoch family had a 10 point plan on toppling the US Government.
