I realized for anything leftists would posts there would be a Wikipedia article about the CIA planning it, doing it, or funding it. Probably all 3 tbh

Reactionaries have it easy coming up with crackpot conspiracies since they can just justify why despite politically being in power for centuries, the world is is still awful bc of “da jooz” and no one bats an eye.

(no anti-semitism intended, just thought it was an odd parallel between the two)

    also I guess some ppl would say leftists treat the cia like the reactionary counterpart in blaming any of leftisms failings on them

    but we have literal unclassified gov documents admitting to it rofl

    Peter Albert David Singer AC (born 6 July 1946) is an Australian moral philosopher, currently the Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. He specialises in applied ethics and approaches ethical issues from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He is known in particular for his book Animal Liberation.

    Published in 1975, Animal Liberation has been cited as a formative influence on leaders of the modern animal liberation movement. The central argument of the book is an expansion of the utilitarian concept that "the greatest good of the greatest number" is the only measure of good or ethical behaviour, and Singer believes that there is no reason not to apply this principle to other animals, arguing that the boundary between human and "animal" is completely arbitrary.

    In Animal Liberation, Singer argues in favour of veganism and against animal experimentation. Singer describes himself as a flexible vegan. He writes, "That is, I'm vegan when it's not too difficult to be vegan, but I'm not rigid about this, if I'm traveling for example."

    Not sure what the point of c/conspiracy would be here outside of historical stuff and c/tactics stuff.

    What would you want to do with it?

        I remember falling into a bit of a rabbit hole in the early 2000's with a website called something like rigorousintuition.blogspot.com.

        I think there's a conspircism forum with the same name that branched off years later after I stopped reading the .blogspot page.

        It was crazy and intense and dark as fuck and it was probably a good thing that work life at the time got crazy enough that I was away from a computer for awhile and forgot about it.
