What are some conspiracy theories you absolutely believe to be true?

I believe money is used to replace God so a select few can have unlimited access to the “source”. A false “god” is then permitted to be pushed on the people for further oppression.

Instead of a golden calf, it’s a bronze bull.

But regular god is also used to push oppression.

See:

• The Crusades
• Anti gay/trans nonsense going on in the shithole states lately
• The Spanish Inquisition (nobody expected this one)
• Basically the entire Middle-East

People putting their faith in anything they don’t control inevitably leads to this.

The Spanish former King (Juan Carlos I de Borbón) was behind 23F, the attempted coup d’etat during 1981.

I remember the first time i heard a right wing person tell me about Qanon. She was really believing it. I was speechless when she got done.

Let’s say 1/20 believable conspiracy theories are true. If I disbelieve all of them I’ll be 19/20 = 95% correct.

If I believe in one of them there is a 1/20 chance I’ll pick the right one and be 100% correct and 19/20 chance I’ll pick the wrong one and have two incorrect beliefs (one false positive and one false negative). 1/20100+19/2090 = 90.5% correct.

Feel free to correct my not even a napkin math. Or challenge the assumption that only 1/20 believable conspiracy theories are true. Or just agree and outsource the effort of thinking to someone trying to compensate lack of sleep with egregious amounts of caffeine.
