    A sizeable portion of Americans today think that their own moon landing was faked. Add in the jingoistic and sinophobic angles and you got like... probably like 90% of Americans who thank that China didn't land on the moon. Might bring that number down to like 85% if they manage to draw Xi Jinping's face on the moon

        Most moonpilled people in this country come from an anti-masonic, anti-New World Order perspective. They think Communism was a masonic plot to build an atheistic NWO.

        "The Space Race was a masonic spectacle to distract from the Globalist agenda" is the most common take I have heard lol

            given that it's mostly a way for wealthy and powerful dudes to network with each other in private, people are right to not trust freemasons

    I remember when I was in AFJROTC (I took it assuming it would be an easy A, and it was) one of the only things we actually learned was how to debunk every single moon landing conspiracy theory talking point. I can't wait for that posting war to start, when all of the redditors suddenly start acting like it's strange that there are two shadows on the moon, and asking why the video footage doesn't have visible stars, and turning up the "levels" on screenshots from the official photos and claiming that the compression artifacts are evidence that it's all a sound stage.

    I was on the r/conspiracy thread alleging a photo of the CCP flag on the surface was cg literally because it "looked off" or some shit, not even pointing anything specific out. Even the US moon landing conspiracy guys are more interesting than this; it's literally just denial that China, a preeminent industrial power, could possibly manage a moon mission. The theories will be so terrible when they send people up there I'm not ready.

    "ya know, they can do anything with that CGI now a days, and it's not like NASA is going to admit they landed there, so clearly this so called landing is just a distraction from the recent declassified UFO videos I saw on Joe Rogan"
