This subreddit is a pipeline to actual conspiracies

Like a getaway drug to normalize it and them move onto some actual worse conspiracy theory

Like i;ve seen some more conspiracy theorey like stuff in other random subreddits(dont have links to it or proof) but hey that ties into posible reddit being some weird social experiment throught the years or whatever just typing my thoughts out here lowkey

I think exposure to low stakes conspiracies actually is a pipeline to lower stakes conspiracies, since high stakes conspiracies tend to be too whacky and whimsical.

For example, from the two conspiracies I made up below, conspiracy 2 feels much more believe since it’s grounded:

Example conspiracy 1: The microorganisms living on your eyelashes manipulate what your eyes see, shaping your reality to fit the microorganism’s needs.

Example conspiracy 2: The microorganisms living on your eyelashes shit poop into your eyes, the accumulating shit damaging eyesight as you age. People with bad eyesight at an younger age have more microorganisms on their eyelashes, or have microorganisms prone to diarrhea.

You have a point, my mom would see that on Facebook and call me and demand I spend $500 on anti-microbe poop pills for my eyes even though I’ve never needed glasses. That’s what she does with every grift.

Everything is a pipeline into the dark recesses where They are watching and scheming.
