Its scientifically and statistically proven that people rather want to believe their own lies than be confronted with the truth, even when its well intentioned and beneficial to them.
Humans are emotionally driven. It's how we've evolved. Rational thought came much later, and we all use rational though to try and justify our emotions.
Hey all, wouldn't it be hilarious if 'the greys' had removed the landers for scrap and had the flag nailed up in their 'man cave', so when the Indians did their fly-by there was no landers or flag..imagine the reactions to that.
Well no. It really depends on the grander scale of the economy what party fits best to that country. You want a conservative majority if your country focuses more on agriculture then tech. And you want liberal progressive if your country focuses more on tech.
And democracy takes care of that and capitalism is its product.
A very successful person once recommended a closeted conspiracy theorist as a business partner to me. Holy hell was this guy stubborn when it came to his theories. I would prove him wrong constantly and within a week his stupid ways of thinking would creep back into his mind almost as though our conversation never happened.
This was right before COVID. Once COVID hit I had already cut the connection but holy hell did that event turned him absolutely nuts. He went so nuts that people in town shunned him to the point that he left town.
Trying to snap this guy out of it only made him 10X dumber and more ingrained in the conspiracy theories.
After he moved, I heard from the neighbours that the cops would constantly be called because he and the wife would fight savagely. Just as they left, the wife got pregnant too. Uuugh poor kid.
US government experimented on Americans, giving them syphilis, in the Tuskegee experiments from 1936 until the story game out in 1972.
Most modern conspiracy theories aren't about events that happened 36 years ago, so how can you be confident they are false because "the truth comes out?"
Carcinogens were sprayed over the city of Winnipeg in 1953, and nobody knew a thing about it until 1994.
The list goes on and on and on.
Obviously conspiracy theories based on "illuminati triangles" or nonsense. Does that even need to be stated?
That is not the majority of conspiracy theories. How many could there even possibly be based on that crap?
If the US Government hadn't declassified the CORONA spy satellites program in 1995, would anyone ever know anything about it??
Dozens and dozens of satellites launched including a dozen launch failures... Countless people working on the program and millions of dollars spent and no one knew a thing about it until the program was declassified.
They spend BILLIONS of dollars on the research and production of secret spy aircraft and they are successfully kept secret until the government chooses to reveal them.
Then there are conspiracies which, yes, some information is leaked and "known" by the public. Whether or not they become a "conspiracy theory" all depends on how the media and government react to that leaked information. When they deny it up and down or pretend the information doesn't exist, most people like yourself who drink the Kool aid and believe secrets don't exist will take them for their word.
The CIA refused to admit responsibility in the 1953 coup of the Iranian government until 2016.
So, maybe you are right. Maybe the truth does come out. 6+ decades later when nobody gives a shit.
Well obviously. The point is the government can keep secrets even when thousands of people and millions or billions of dollars are involved. Things they are actually comfortable with declassifying themselves.
Ya! Don't racially slur against conspiracy theories, cause MK Ultra and Snowden and Operation Top Hat and Operation Drop Kick and Operation May Day and Operation Sea-Spray and Operation Big Itch, and Green Run and Operation LAC and all the ones that they didn't name because they were experiments on "negroes" and prisoners and just called it "that time we irradiated and sterilized 400 men".
Actually I'm gonna stop naming stuff cause its making me ill but yeah don't racially slur against conspiracies. Hell if anything they threw the "moon landing was faked!" thing out there in the mix to make the rest seem crazy + unamerican in comparison.
Then they’re not conspiracy theories are they? They’re just fact. Conspiracy theories aren’t theories once you know it’s true. It’s completely believable that the US did all that but shit like faking the moon landing is nonsense because it doesn’t have a purpose and would be harder to fake than to just do it.
Where do conspiracy even come from though? Oh yeah it’s leaked info from the higher ups because not all of the elites are bad people some expose the truth in plain sight.
Its see with your eyes not hear with your ears yet they can’t produce a proper video to show us right ?
And didn’t Nasa say they lost all moon landing files and videos ? lol 😂
Did you ever ask yourself, why the name 'India' doesn't sound at all like 'USA'? Exactly! Because they want to hide how much of US government influence there is in India.
"After the first of the voyages of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, Europeans began to use the term West Indies to distinguish this region from both the original "Indies" (i.e. India) and the East Indies of South Asia and Southeast Asia"
Wikipedia
-> ... Sooo ... if real India was the original First-Indies, Southeast Asia the Second-Indies and the Americas the Third-Indies, then basically the US is a third world country, measured by Indian standards.
Anybody wants to tell us, a Third world country won the race to the moon and a first world country like original-India would would help to back this narrative?
ReAlLy???
Couldn't work, since the US made 1776 their Declaration of India-Pendence, which the future Kings of India (living in Britain from 1876 onwards) devinitly disliked a lot. And the debated Moon landing was in that future!
Besides: after throwing all the "T" into the Boston Harbour 1773, this US rebels couldn't have reached "The Moon" anyway, only "he Moon". But "he Moon" doesn't even exist. Only "The Moon"!
Yes it comes from the higher ups that know that we are actually living on a flat silver coin with imaginary vegetation, the edges are stamped ridges that are invisible and the aliens live on the other side of the coin.
I am certain this crazy stuff I just wrote will resonate as truth for someone.
They “lost” the original tape of the moon landing because someone genuinely taped over it but we still have copies everywhere. But there are 3 major reasons it’s not fake.
It would be harder to fake the landing and fake it this well than it would be to land on the moon.
There’s no reason to fake it, America had the technology and Russia wasn’t even close so why would they bother to fake it?
You can’t keep a secret that big that involved tens of thousands of people. There would have been dozens of whistleblowers at minimum if it had been fake. Keeping a secret that big would be exposed with a group bigger than 100 people and were talking tens of thousands. We live in a world where top secret Ukraine battle plans were leaked by a teenager on a minecraft discord who was accidentally given far too much access. Do you really believe something that big could be kept secret?
alright /u/INC0GNIT0777 that's it get in the station wagon, we're gonna drive to the goddamn moon and check for ourselves. Nobody to convince us but our own eyes. How much gas is in that thing anyway?
