That’s the basic pattern for most conspiracies anyway. I’m still wondering how the conspiracy theorists expect billionaires will make even more money by cutting the human population to a tiny fraction of its current number. Well, I guess I’m just just not smart enough to see the hidden truth or whatever.
Right? Billionaires have an obvious interest in the status quo - that's why getting anything to ever change in ways that mildly inconvenience them is like pulling teeth.
Like others have pointed out in the thread, though: if you're expecting rationality from conspiracy theorists, you've already lost.
