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)

    Car Dealerships are regulated into forced existence as a glorified extortion racket for the GOP. Virtually all car dealerships have right wing owners, and they're some of the most common "big" donors for local elections. Build society around the road forcing everyone to need a car, pass a law where people can only get cars from dealerships, and you basically have a situation where nearly every member of society has to give money to an institution that the right wing gets to skim off the top of, giving them the financial primitive accumulation to maintain local power forever.
