dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

There's definitely plenty of evidence of conspiracy theory as a method of social destabilization. And there's evidence that the CIA uses every tool to destabilize enemy states and organizations.

But you run into some contradictions when you try to blindly assert that any given conspiracy is a CIA conspiracy.

If nothing else, you've got to account for the FBI

Oh I never claim any particular conspiracy theory is invented / pushed by the CIA, I just assume a sizeable subset are

Just enough to muddy the waters and get people to believe that any accusation of malfeasance by the security state is a conspiracy theory.
