We’ve got a bunch of new people now so let’s bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I’ll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being “creepy” through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

    If you’re going to huff and puff about the scary horrors of “cancel culture” when pretty much every big name rich predator that got “canceled” is both not in jail and in many cases still getting paid just like before, you sound like a chud no matter how much you cry about it.

        It’s when it happens to John Q. Public and he’s ostracized by his peers and immediately a target of the internet that it’s an issue.

        Again, you’re assuming that the accusations are false from the start and are directing your outrage against people that you already assume are lying and out to get you.

        with the worst grip on the soap possible

        That’s a chud take. Monsters deserve fitting punishments, not sexually violent chud revenge fantasies.
