You misunderstand me. I'm not saying conspiracy twaddle didn't exist before Trump and Brexit, I am saying that it had retreated to its own little corner of the internet where conspiraloons could debate the finer points of their favourite evidence-free conspiracy theories without bothering the rest of us. 

 

They have now come back into the mainstream on the back of populist alt-right cranks like Alex Jones and Steve Bannen. There is also a lot of cross pollination between alt and far right websites and the lizards, antisemitic and Protocols wing of the conspiraloon world, who feed off each others' lunacy.

 

 

LOL i read that as Aled Jones

To be fair to MAC33 he was posting conspiracy twaddle well before Trump and Brexit - the high point for conspiracy fruitcake on SF was probably 2010 -2013. Can't say I've seen a resurgence of conspiracy "discussions" on SF in the last few years.

There was a huge long one describing how the LHC was going to cause black holes and strangelets and whatnot to swallow the earth...

 

There have been some cracking ones about hoax moon landings too... never changes... same old arguments...

Shouldn't choirboys be in the VIP Paedophile thread?

 

Anyhow- we might be waiting a while to hear how Earth should really look from the ISS although my money would be on the evidence being  bad crayon drawings.

 

Perhaps we should start running a book on this?

To feature Australia of course.  Everyone knows that conspiracy theory!

Which is terribly confusing for Australian conspiracy theorists - having to decide if the really exist or whether they are in some sort of antipodean dream land.

 

Unless they are really trolls from Scunthorpe.

I think ive missed that one, do they claim that Australia does or does not exist?  On a flat earth is Australia underneath?

Does not exist and anyone claiming to be from Australia is an actor.

 

I'm not quite sure how it's supposed to work for people who've actually been to visit the country though?
