This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I also thought it was a bit of a weird tangent, but it makes sense. Maybe they have something fresh in mind that connected those dots for them.
I'd only make the distinction between what kind of conspiracy theories people believe in because some people fly straight into fantasy. If it's about aliens and Flat Earth, there's no reason to give the benefit of the doubt. These people have left reality and are in it for themselves for whatever personal reason, actively ignoring and denying contrary evidence. It wouldn't surprise me if they knew they were being idiots.
That said, I'm only partial to some conspiracy theories that seem plausible, like COVID conspiracies that stem from ignorance of science and fear of technology. In that case, I will give the benefit of the doubt.
Eh, I think the alien ones are interesting. We know the government is hiding something, we just don't know what, and if it was aliens, this is how I'd expect them to act. But it could also be a number of other things, and the evidence is usually quickly discredited by experts.
A better example would be something like Sasquatch.
