Yes it's all one big conspiracy.



No, it's a Schelling point but evil


I find it rather odd that after all the years of exposed and revealed conspiracies too numerous and pervasive to even necessitate listing any of them, people like you just reject the notion that any additional, unknown conspiracies may exist.

It is an odd phenomenon among humans that I at least don’t quite understand, the seeming tendency to ignore or dismiss possibilities of proven negative outcomes … for whatever reason. “I know all those other conspiracies I dismissed all turned out to be true, but I am sure I would know if there were any additional conspiracies” … totally ignoring one’s track record.

It appears to be the same kind of mentality of “hey, you know who we should trust with our lives … the government made up of people who lie to us, steal from us, and mass murder on a regular basis; that’s who we should give control over to.”

People conspire, I’ve witnessed it personally numerous times; sometimes for greedy business reasons, at other times to mass murder and commit genocide on a scale not seen since. Humans conspire, even if sometimes only because they’re not prevented from doing so naturally.


It’s probably convenient for them to dismiss this as it aligns with whatever goals they have..
