357: Vintage Conspiracy Theories From 2002 Or Earlier

<< < (2/3) > >>

Dr. Buttplug:
There are certain periods when conspiracy theories are more fun than awful. Not sure why 2002 is the cut off for this one, I imagine that a lot of 9/11 truther stuff sprung up after that and that's not very fun. Until late in Obama's second term I found a lot of sources of comedy from sites like "AboveTopSecret." Unfortunately for the last five or six years it devolved into a lot of super racist shit.

Right now it's a lot of COVID conspiracies wafting around every darkened corner of the internet making it less fertile for entertainment.

That’s exactly why.

KingKalamari:
Was anyone else deeply uncomfortable with the young daughters being described as "button cute?" It has an intensely Humbert Humbert vibe.

This actually draws attention to another peculiarity that seems really common amongst the green ink, raving conspiracy weirdos: They always seem to have a handful of really specific stock phrases that they repeat throughout their screeds.

The Lesbian Studies weirdo had the whole recurring bit about hearing people crying and referring to their daughters as "(x)-cute", Gene Ray had stuff like "educated stupid" and "simultaneous four day" and the like and Francis E Dek had his "Gangster computer god". It's just a weird case that these people seem to hit on particular phrases to describe whatever it is they're trying to describe and constantly repeat them verbatim.

I feel like there has to be something common with how these people's brains are wired that causes them all to independently develop the same handful of eccentricities alongside their conspiracies.
