Donald Trump is really Andy Kaufman method acting.
I’d actually be less mad, I think, if it turned out to be a Kaufman prank.
I’d still want him in prison though.
I make a YT channel about bizarre conspiracy theories. I keep coming back to the people who make videos claiming that 5G is actually a deadly weapon on their 5G Iphone 16. Nobody has more cognitive dissonance than these guys.
Sounds like you make content I’m interested in. What’s your channel called?
It’s called Mind of Steele. If you subscribe please say hello!
It’s amusing seeing some of the ones that were only even really plausible (and I use the term loosely) for a brief time hold traction after that time has passed. Like the 5G ones where even if you ignore the whole technical side of it, it was a possibility before it was deployed but now it’s out there. If it was turning people into zombies or whatever, it would be doing that right now. Or if not, then what are they waiting for?
Or covid vaccines. Yeah, when they were first being sent out, there were potential unknowns and it was possible that they were RNA coded to do who knows what instead of just giving improved immunity to covid. I have no idea how I’d even check on something like that other than seeing what happens when someone is injected with it. But lots of people were injected with each of the vaccines. And though some issues popped up, I don’t think there was an evil plan to give like less than 1 in 100 generally minor and temporary heart issues that the actual virus also gave (but generally worse). But I still see profiles on tinder that say they prefer someone unjabbed. What timeline do they think this conspiracy is operating on? “Get a covid vaccine and you’ll likely be dead within 100 years!”
And the funniest (saddest?) part is that there are real conspiracies. Like there’s clearly a push to turn the world fascist happening right now as the billionaire class positions itself to control how society transitions into a world where not nearly the same amount of labour is required. There’s been a group aiming to suppress information about climate change and our way of life’s role in it. Russia and China both aim to no longer be 2nd fiddles to the western world, which itself isn’t the benevolent ruler it likes to pretend to be. Science closes in on solving aging but the amount of people who read this message and will have access to it are likely under 1% (unless some kind of eternal servitude setup is developed). Almost everything about our society is set up to funnel wealth to the privileged few and conservatives almost openly sabotage public services whenever they are in power. Police brutality won’t get fixed because the ruling class benefits from the enforcer class being hated by the general public–otherwise they might band together and then the rulers would be fucked. Oh, and as much as conservatives like to bitch about immigrants (illegal or not), you never them suggest going after those who employ them unless it’s the tech companies who follow the legal route. All the illegal immigration talk isn’t about stopping it but about gaining more control over them while continuing to exploit them.
You don’t need lizard people or aliens for a good vs evil kind of narrative. Elon Musk being human doesn’t make him a good human or anyone’s friend.
The global wealthy elite being pedophiles conspiracy is unthinkably evil. It’s also unfortunately true. Epstein’s island proved it.
Can you please explain that? I thought the island proved it was true.
One of my favourite historical ones was the John birch society saying Lyndon B. Johnson was a communist agent, who started the Vietnam war to help communists take over the USA.
Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a Canadian man the British government had kidnapped for that purpose. After extensive facial surgery he took on McCartney’s role and no one noticed it.
Apart from John Lennon who hid cryptic clues to Faul’s real identity and the real Paul’s fate in the lyrics of famous Beatles songs.
It’s true.
Damn, so did the original McCartney or the clone beat his wife??
Good ol Billy Shepherd
This is hilarious
That I’ve actually encountered irl? The Anti 1080 conspiracy in New Zealand.
Its members do things like go out and kill protected birds themselves and dump them because they think the Department of Conservation’s pest control plan is on behalf of the Illuminati who want to terraform NZ etc.
It’s unclear to me. As far as I can tell they think the United Nations/Illuminati wants to poison the humans, birds, and mammals and … maybe get rid of farmland? Repurpose New Zealand somehow.
Some of them have physically attacked Department of Conservation staff, sabotaged vehicles, etc. They’re passionate about it.
I’ve never encountered that theory before. As far as my exposure has been, most opposition to 1080 is based around bykill; the effect of the poison on non-target species.
The scientific evidence suggests that the number of natives killed unintentionally by 1080 drops is more than compensated by the increased survival rates of those who now suffer less predation, but walk into any pub and you’ll find half a dozen people throwing out anecdotes about silent forests in the days after 1080 drops.
A lot of them also seem to refer to earlier forms of 1080 etc. Given the “silent seas” I suspect what this is really about is a sort of folk response to climate change and ecological collapse.
But the rabid activist ones seem to have linked the “Agenda 21” conspiracies, chemtrails etc with 1080. The covid/5G stuff as well, Sue Grey (antivax lawyer) was mixed up with the ban 1080 movement.
The official 9/11 conspiracy theory… Literally would need to change the laws of physics for it to be true
That’s a big part of it… For me the smoking gun is building 7
Literally would need to change the laws of physics for it to be true
Say the line, Wes.
There’s an official conspracy theory?
Yeah… The official theory from the Bush administration= a conspiracy theory… It defies logic and physics. Check it out if you’re interested
Jet fuel can’t melt steel beams, it was a controlled demolition, yadda yadda.
That’s certainly a part of it
Microsoft, the state of South Dakota, and the Freemasons have been infiltrated by the Unified Buttjones Imperial Court (UBIC), formed in 1834 by the merger of the Imperial Buttjones Society and the All-Ireland Industrial Arsing Federation. UBIC agents camouflage themselves as janitors, assistant product managers, or beagles, and spread an invisible green slime over toilet seats to infect the minds of their targets. Through this mental infiltration, they obtain control over the vazween or pony-flavored sector of the human soul, creating Inter-Vazween Buttjones Networks (IVBN) through repeated application of the Greater Invoking Pentacle of Pony Erotic Revelation (GIPPER). Using an apparatus constructed from illegal immigrants, UBIC uses the IVBN and GIPPER to insert bugs into Windows, Masonic initiations, and the Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area. Anyone who denies this obvious truth is a buttjones.
Oh, is this the new Scientology doctrine now?
I think they’re still on Bawdy Satans or something. Fools!
fubo is a buttjones. Dispatch and neutralize.
I’ve been feeling that my vazween was a bit out of kilter recently! I KNEW I shouldn’t have used that public toilet…
Flat earth and that us Aussie are paid actors.

I’m owed A LOT of backpay then!
If they were really professional actors then their Kiwi accents would be more convincing.
That’s just what an aussie would want us to think… 🤨 🤨🤨 /s
That’s like asking who the craziest person is. Like, there’s so many to choose from, and they get less and less well known as you go nuttier and nuttier.
Qantas used to have a ‘u’ in it, but they changed their name so now you don’t even know!
Flat Earth.
It’s not the most immediately shocking, not the most colorful and dramatic, but there are two factors where no other conspiracy theory can compete:
- It is so easily falsifiable that basically more people would have to be in on the conspiracy than not.
- Nobody would stand to gain anything from the lie.
Yeah, at least with something like the fake moon landing conspiracy, there is a clear motive for it. Like the USA and USSR both had very strong propaganda machines and really strong incentives for hitting the next space race milestone.
The tech was barely advanced enough to perform the functions necessary to complete the mission, everything was pushed to its absolute limits to successfully perform.
But the flat earth thing has none of that. The tech necessary to demonstrate the curvature of the earth existed thousands of years ago and in fact was believed pretty widely by even ancient peoples.
There exists no motive, no incentives, and requires believing that basically all of known physics is completely wrong despite thousands of obvious counter-examples.
Just stupid.
there’s too much competition for the MOST unhinged… off the top of my head:
- JFK was going to rise from the dead (or was secretly still alive) and would show himself as the true secret leader of America and would side with Trump and jail the Clintons
Zombie JFK would get my vote.
Maybe Nearly Headless Nick could be his VP.
It was JFK Jr, and it was very clearly started by a typo the Qrazies made for RFK Jr, which makes it all even better
Kangaroos don’t exist
The CGI isn’t even very good.
They don’t tho
They are always suspiciously about 100m or so away, so we can’t see the wires and rods.
Wallabies are real though - have seen them close up.
