We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

    The american ruling class's recent decision on abortion rights is because they're concerned about birthrates and need more (white) births/labor resources in their country. Subsequent clampdowns on women's or lgbt rights in the empire (e.g. maybe thinking that gutting gay marriage will somehow lead to more heterosexual relationships and thus babies?) will be carried out for similar motivations.

        I mean I interpreted low stakes in this context as something that doesn't sound "that much out there/outright insane/batshit crazy"... you know, that feeling when it comes to conspiracies
