Here in Balkans too many people unironically believe that planes fart some smoke poison or whatever from contrails to make new diseases which is why there are supposed new viruses in Balkans and whatnot. Supposed ''proof'' for this are some random scientists and labs in Croatia, Hungary and Poland which ''studied'' these chemicals...
They won't shut up about it, what the hell are they talking about and how to put an end to this bullshit? This population went insane I swear...
To be fair to them, all conspiracy theories have a grain of truth. Here in the US the government has tested biological and chemical weapons on civilians. Polluting factories and stuff also poison regular (non-white) people. They’ve tested nuclear weapons near people without their knowledge. MKULTRA and the Tuskegee experiment existed. The sad part is that the mainstream conspiracy theories distract from class consciousness. We know about this stuff, but we have a better framework than “da joos.” It’s funny that culture wars and conspiracy theories are themselves conspiracies. I’ve heard if you tell conspiracy theorists to do their own research on that then they may be de-radicalized.
