This won't please the conspiracy minded, but it is a simple fact that literally none of the various conspiracy theories touted in this forum or the one next door have made the slightest genuine headway in the real world (not least because they're all howlingly, screamingly wrong).
The rejection of 9/11 Truth, Moon Hoaxing, Holocaust Denial, Birtherism, JFK theories and NWO/Illuminati theories is essentially unanimous in all relevant parts of the adult world - the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government, in every single country in the world (except maybe Iran); all scientific and investigative agencies; academia and universities; and virtually all of the media.
It should be perfectly obvious to everyone that these theories are never going to make any headway; that if they ever had a chance then that moment has long passed. Time moves on, and we find ourselves 10 years from 9/11, nearly 50 years from the JFK assassination, et cetera. Some of the theories arguably never even had a 'moment' when they were even vaguely fashionable. Some did, but the unifying characteristic of all of the above mentioned CTs is surely that they have now all jumped the shark.
Not only that, but if we think of the 90s and Noughties as a heyday for modern conspiracism, then surely that era is now passe, and so easily parodied/ridiculed that we now have Conspiracy Fatigue. Conspiracy theories in general may have jumped the shark.
Yeah, we know: belief in a certain set of conspiracies is now typical of a few subsets of retarded American youths and middle-aged losers, who have cut themselves off from the mainstream. But they're never ever ever going to make any headway in the mainstream, and now appear to be little different to their granddaddies' generation when cranks mailed each other pamphlets and newspaper clippings.
Yeah, we know: there is a seemingly inexhaustible supply of stupid out there, but stupid is as stupid does. And the one thing all the major theories share in common is that they're mind-numbingly, epically stupid.
So stupid that they don't notice they're backing the ideas equivalents of 8-track tapes, or might as well be touting MC Hammer as cutting-edge pop music for all that they have noticed that they're not actually riding the wave of the future.
