I’m using instagram to browse the discover feed mindlessly sometimes. I know, it’s stupid, but I’m bored.

At some point a short video about conspiracy showed up, so I hang in there and watched it.

After mindlessly scrolling through the feed, more and more conspiracy stuff started showing up.

Also, a few days before, the coridor crew on YT uploaded a vlog how they made a fake video go viral.

And then there’s the fuzz about the whistleblower, etc… resulting in many other YT videos referencing aliens, etc.

FWIW, I’m not actively searching for conspiracy topics, etc… it’s just that I’ve noticed a trend rising up, and I can’t be the only one, can I ?!

    People just want aliens… Let them be, I say.

    The whole UAP thing, and how it’s been handled since forever, and all the related stuff, that’s not helping things.

    By “related stuff” I mean, for example, how the US congress people are after the Pentagon’s budget. My personal conspiracy theory is that their aim isn’t to save taxpayer money, but have a peek into more military projects so they can maybe find something to get a cut on. So it makes sense for them to make a ruckus about potential aliens instead.

    See, conspiracy theories are easy to make. And honestly, with military/security/government shit, you truly never know.

      UAP business aside, I’m glad congress is asking questions. We shouldn’t be paying taxes and then have our money just disappear into a black hole with zero accountability and oversight.
