We didn't need COVID for that

Give it a few years and those shops would be dead anyway - sadly

Small towns here tend to build large shopping centers near town border, which just hungers out local businesses

No need for COVID to accomplish that

No. It's not a REAL conspiracy until the 4th Estate says so! They are the ones we should trust without question!

Proverbs for Paranoids

You may never get to touch the Master, but you can tickle his creatures.
The innocence of the creatures is in inverse proportion to the immorality of the Master.
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers.
You hide, they seek.
Paranoids are not paranoid because they're paranoid, but because they keep putting themselves, fucking idiots, deliberately into paranoid situations.

—Thomas Pynchon, Gravity’s Rainbow

I don't get the middle statement. If you pick just one, the chance is 5%

Unless you're working on something incredibly important, and you can threaten people with jail time if you tell anyone. The US government kept the SR-71 blackbird secret for about a decade, for example.

Corporations would happily use slave labor if that was legal.

Looks like Big Math got to you

True, but also I feel like that's small potatoes by comparison.

And also I feel like it's related to the publicity of the thing that is supposedly a conspiracy. with the sr71 nobody even knew to look into it; with the moon landing, people were following the very public demonstrations every step of the way.

Yeah. Pretty much anywhere slavery is legal will use slaves. Our system rewards people for destroying society.

We still use slave labor, California just voted against abolishing it.

Actually they rather start as undiscovered conspiracies until they leak enough to make people suspicious and form a theory

[email protected]

Especially the ones where you would need the complicity and cooperation of thousands of people to pull it off.

You know, I can’t stand dealing with a conspiracy theorist.

I understand why they’re crazy though.

Tuskegee syphilis experiment.
MK Uktra.
Snowden leaks.
Various governments overthrown by the CIA.

I mean, people are crazy and evil knows no bounds.

That said, I prefer to look for the best in the world. I can understand getting lost in all that crap though. People are fucked up.

before snowden is was a conspiracy theory that the government is always listening to you

I think there’s a danger in underestimating a government’s ability to keep a secret especially when they have the power to kill you and your family if you break it. While we shouldn’t overestimate the conspiracies they conduct (i.e. the world isn’t flat, we did land on the moon, vaccines don’t cause autism). I think it’s reasonable to suspect that your government is keeping some important information out of the public eye. Oft for the reason of “national security” aka, it would be embarrassing to us if this leaked.

I read a mainstream biography about Aristotle Onassis recently - something that was on the NY Times bestseller list back when it was published in 2004 - and near the beginning it casually comes up that the Secretary of State or head of the CIA (they were brothers at the time) was having an affair with the Queen of Greece. It wasn't even the point of the chapter. Instead, it was just a element in the US governments behind the scene manipulations as they used private intelligence firms to sink a deal between Onassis and the Saudis to fund their own shipping fleet.
