What in the name of the Illuminati is going on here? And why in the name of Alex Jones are you usually reliable nutters not freaking the heck out?

    It’s almost as if they’re bad-faith hypocrites who will drop any supposed values the instant it’s convenient for consolidating their power.

    No one has any theories about it because there’s no need. They’re doing everything in the light of day. You don’t sound like a nut if you say “that racist billionaire bought the US government” because we WATCHED IT HAPPEN. The conspiracy crowd is busy with cryptocurrency and sovcit diversions.

    Why don’t you ask individual people what they think, instead of dealing with huge generalities and stereotypes that don’t really apply to anyone in particular.

    It’s because the corruption is too straight forward.

    Conspiracy theorists revel in thinking they’re smart for connecting the dots, even if the dots don’t form any kind of picture. That part is irrelevant to them. Feeling smart is the whole point.

    This is just basic corruption that doesn’t require any imaginary dot connecting. It doesn’t serve to make them feel intellectually superior.

    Because most conspiracy theorists are right-wing, and only have issues with anything remotely left of Margaret Thatcher, if MT didn’t somehow become “too far-left” due to how the Overton Window moved further to the right…

      I think that’s true now, but I don’t think it was necessarily true prior to The Demented Rapist descending the escalator.

      A good government coverup is fodder for both sides, but after 2016 with all the Qanut stuff they just went absolutely banapants crazy.

        My brothers one of them. Thinks cuz he lucked out on Bitcoin he won’t have to pay taxes of the government falls, so he’s stoaked about it. Thinks he’ll never have to work again cuz a lack of regulation means he keeps it all when he sells em. Also was genuinely happy when I called him an Anarcho capitalist… Grown ass man, still a simpleton

    I mean, if President Joe Biden had brought Soros into the government as an “efficiency expert” and let him have access to federal government data, Republicans would have impeached Biden instantly. They would have set the White House on fire using the flames erupting from the heads of Fox News hosts.

    The only difference I can see here is that Musk isn’t … ohhhhhh, wait a minute. I get it. He’s not Jewish. I forgot your whole thing has to be antisemitic. My bad.

    This is more evidence for what I call “the meta conspiracy.” I think conspiracy thinking has been actively promoted by the media and government in order to distract from actual government conspiracies. It both keeps people distracted with “UAPs” and “Adrenochrome” while also making any serious discussion of oligarchy, censorship, and oppression look ridiculous by association with crackpots.

      I agree with the gaslighting part, but don’t necessarily think it was “the government”.

      I think it was billionaire/adversaries funded groups, probably Elon in part, definitely Russia/China.

      Elon understood Twitter/SM very early on. I remember reading somewhere how Tesla didn’t spend a dime on (traditional) marketing the first few years, it was pure social media manipulation / dark patterns.

    Conspiracy theorists are quiet cause there is no conspiracy to unearth here LOL. Elmo has literally bought US President and he is openly running (ruining ?) the government as his personal office. He even provides regular public updates at his personal platform X on how he is destroying US government institution by institution!

    Same set of dipshits that form groups like the oathkeepers, etc and stockpile weapons against a tyrannical government, but constantly advocate for everything counter to this country’s people and for a tyrannical government…

    Also the same set of dipshits that make up bullshit about “child trafficking” when it comes to Democrats, but embrace people like donvict, Gaetz, and so on…

    No one should be surprised at all.
