  Some of them are true, but it’s impossible to know which ones until you get actual non-batshit evidence which is why it’s not reasonable to believe any of them.

  But if you want to have a favorite one just for fun, I think that’s ok.

    Mine is probably the ‘NASA wanted to fake the moon landings, so they got Kubrick in to direct. But he was such a perfectionist, he insisted on filming on location’ one.

    You have to do some careful research and reasoning. Arrive at your conclusions the hard way.

    But then they call you crazy.

  Those weren’t conspiracies. The government just covered them up. Truths are never conspiracy…it’s kind of the definition.

  Texas sharpshooter fallacy.

  Problem is that conspiracy theorists believe that the theories that have actually been proven true are fake and meant to throw people off from the real truth.
