20 Dumb Controversies and Conspiracies From the Past Decade
Conspiracies have become commonplace in our lives. So much so that we even joke about them among ourselves. Well, not everyone is in on this joke, as you can see from *motions generally* this collection of hotly debated controversies of the last decade.
Thanks to r/AskReddit we've collected 20 such conspiracy theories.
1.
Flat earth crap. I thought people were just arguing for it for the memes til I met an actual flat earther. u/Morbidhanson
3.
Changing the shoes of an animated M&M. Who cares what it's wearing? It's an advertisement for candy. The people who got bent out of shape about it are weird. u/fawqueue
4.
The QAnon one (yes, there are many to choose from) where JFKjr was really alive (or was coming back from the dead?) to somehow crown Trump president. u/revtim
5.
Jade Helm The idea that Obama was going to invade, conquer and occupy Texas like it was France and turn it into part of his own personal empire, and do it with just 1200 troops u/USSMarauder
7.
Vaccines. It used to be normal to lose at least some of your kids to childhood illnesses, and vaccines changed all that. It's one of the best things science has ever done for humanity. Now we have people that won't get shots for themselves or their kids, and measles outbreaks are getting more common. u/Fun_in_Space
12.
That masks don't work...Why on earth have doctors and nurses been wearing them all this time for operations and on wards where patients have communicable diseases? Yes, they're not 100% effective, but it helps to significantly reduce the number of particulates reaching you if both parties are masked. u/Salty_Paroxysm
13.
Grabbem by the pussy. Should have absolutely ended any political aspirations much less being a public figure. Yet here we are. u/squaqua
16.
Trans people have been known about for over 50 years, but now all of a sudden it's a huge issue. Right about the same time working class people are reaching a breaking point over stagnant wages and skyrocketing costs of living. Funny that. u/Alladin_Payne
18.
Hogwarts Legacy was pretty dumb. Death threats and calls its literally killing people are pretty severe. It's just a video game. Don't remember that kinda hysteria over a video game since the 90s. u/gachi_for_jesus
20.
The Dylan Mulvaney/Bud Light controversy. They didn't use her in a campaign. Didn't make a billboard of her. Didn't put her face on a can of beer...except that one can they sent her to celebrate herself. And half of America lost their fucking minds. They can call democrats sheep all they want; they went all in on an outrage campaign over a personal can of beer that had fuck all to do with them. But sure, we're the sheep. u/Wise_Ad_4816
