Akshually, the Jews are the reason I can't get laid. Check mate atheists.
Like every flat earther who isn't one of the spolespeople just randomly being like "its the jews!" instead of just doing fucking math
Also some fascinating projection. Nobody I know gives a shit about Geroge Soros, but chuds assume he's our Koch-esque shadow daddy, because to them that's just the natural order of things.
I'm the weird conspiracy theory guy IRL and all my shit is just dropping literal verbatim police reports
I have a friend that is big into conspiracies and it pisses me off to no end. In his eyes, EVERYTHING is the fault of some shadowy cabal, these secret people behind the scenes that are pulling all the strings. (((Them))). Whenever I try to direct the conversation towards "actually it is these politicians and these companies that are the ones influencing these decisions, and they are doing it right out in the open" I just get handwaved away. "You don't know the things I know." Ugh, maddening.
Tell the dude that he doesn't know what you know and that what he thinks he knows is propaganda to distract him from the reality of capitalism and towards anti-Semitism instead of real change.
To be fair to both sides, leftists watch Xi Jinping speak at Davos about the dangers of left populism and major regime officials in Venezuela get caught via the Panama papers for taking public oil money out of the country yet provide uncritical support to these places even in leftist circles where everyone knows these societies are largely better, or at least aim to be better, than western ones for the working class.
People in general do and think really dumb shit.
This is absolutely true.
e.g. this particularly crazy gwen snyder follower who thinks that this is evidence that Brace Belden is a nazi: https://twitter.com/AuhsdBond/status/1291015606024642560
Conspiracy is actually an acronym:
CIA
Officially
Never denied
Suporting dictators
Propaganda
Invasions
Rights violations
Assasinations
Coups

Rolls right off the tongue, like a boulder starting a landslide.
I steal everything from there, I would stop, but they refuse to post it here, so
As every other western "intelligence" agency.
Shit even the "intel agency" from my country (a CIA dependency basically) has a long list of "conspiracy theories" that are just run of the mill "operations".
Honestly none of these groups are shit compared to the CIA. Their budgets are like 2 billion a year, the US intellegence community budget is 50 billion a year.
