What is the craziest conspiracy you actually believe?

    I'm pretty much against conspiracy theories in general because they're the opposite of anti-authoritarian or whatever. Can someone tell me a conspiracy theory where there isn't a more subversive plain-site explanation?

    The Bush-did- 9/11 conspiracy theory vs the explanation that Al Queda did it because they thought the US deserved it and a handful of amateurs actually killed many thousands of their enemies. The plandemic theory vs global capitalism creating and transmitting outbreaks through economic activity.

    Somebody help me think. What is an example of a conspiracy theory suggesting a more radical explanation than an explanation that occurs in the open?

      Mouthwash exists because ad companies came up with a medical-sounding name for bad breath (halitosis) and convinced people they needed a thing to treat it.

      I think your hypothetical conspiracy would have to be something like that, but the fake need is more fundamental. Like food.
