A lighthearted but fairly effective conspiracy theory debunker by Kurzgasagt – In A Nutshell. To wit:
Most Conspiracy Theories are stupid. By the power of the internet they spread like wildfire and often poison discussions. But there is hope – we developed a way to debunk conspiracies in just a few seconds…

Yes,
I really agree and if you ever get the chance to talk to somebody who works, or has worked in a three letter organisation, they will explain that the cold war mentality continues and the organisations are extremely paranoid. Meaning that they do not discount possibilities even if they are unlikely. There’s no harm in them. History is a litany of conspiracies. And the most successful conspirators get to write them.
it.
It !
Exactly, I knew it all along !

Are you sober tonight?
You seem a bit lucid there. Granted that quote is terrible.
I posted this before on conspiracy theories, worth saying again maybe –
I also hate the term Conspiracy Theory. It is often used pejoratively, sneeringly–and worst of all, smugly–always by people who have never researched the topic under discussion. The phrase has diluted the very word conspiracy. There was a time when this was a highly charged noun that rang with echoes of sedition, treason, and political machination. Now it’s a joke, a sad sarcastic punchline: ‘Yeah right, everything’s a conspiracy. Yawn.’
A conspiracy is just an agreement by two or more people to commit an illegal or subversive act. So how common do you imagine that to be? Personally, I don’t think we need a tribunal to tell us that there’s quite a lot of it about, wouldn’t you say?
That video is a bit sneering. Not all conspiracy theories are outlandish.. ‘Elvis is Still alive is a a rocking roll loving alien’ type theory.
Ah heya Jim. 9/11 was an inside job, amiright?
