What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?

That there is an all powerful supreme being that demands our worship or else we will suffer for all eternity after our death.

Yeah. That's the worst.
They used to hang out with flat earthers and earth centrics, but I'm guessing they had to cut out some of the crazy stuff to appeal to larger audience, with the less tangible stuff.
Phwoar watch you don't cut yourself on that edge
- What's gonna happen, will your nonexistent god smite him?

I feel like QAnon keeps upping the ante on the term "unhinged"

Qanon is like a clown car of unhinged conspiracy theories. Every time you think "Wow, that's bananas, what kind of blood lead levels do these people have to fall for this?" they trot out something even more deranged/racist/fascist.
when even The Onion doesn’t want to keep up with them

If you work hard and long hours for the company, you'll advance in your career and become esteemed leader and collect rich rewards.

Man! Way to cast a dark cloud over an otherwise lovely morning.
I kid. That's a good one!

I actually think it's those that get so close to the truth, before veering to the right and blaming minorities instead of those who are really to blame (by design of those who are really to blame, of course) - blaming Jews for controlling the banks and the media (it's the obscenely rich), blaming immigrants for poor work conditions/no jobs (it's the obscenely rich), blaming disabled people for being a burden and leeching off the tax payer (it's the obscenely rich), blaming whichever generation is currently in young adulthood for "destroying industries" (it's the obscenely rich), and so on and so on..

I guess they make me angriest because the truth clearly isn't outside of the people who believe the conspiracy's grasp, they'd just rather punch down, solve nothing, but continue to have minor feelings of superiority (which really ties in with the key to all belief in conspiracy theories - "I have special knowledge you don't"), than punch up and actually try to resolve the issues they whine about..

Not quite related to the initial post topic, but "Every billionaire, deserves the electric chair." is a phrase I've been spouting for the past few years. I like to think it's a more extreme version of "Eat The Rich." but probably not as catchy nor as easy to spraypaint onto stuff.
And on the liberal side they do the same thing except conservatives are the scape goat. Super frustrating.
- Liberals play along plenty in to the division sown by the ruling class, but lets be fucking clear - conservatives choose to be that way, and are actively and vocally contributing to the problem, unlike Jews, immigrants, disabled people and so on..
  Is working class conservative Joe Shmoe responsible for the system and the one who needs to be removed from society? No, they're as much a victim of it (and its brain washing propaganda) as any other working class person, and sure, many liberals fail to see this, but to compare calling out people who choose to actively support open and proud oppressors for their contribution, to scapegoating the people they oppress for existing as who they are, for the problems of society, is fucking gross.
  E: seriously, conservatives uphold conservatism - there is no conspiracy. 🤦‍♀️

Time Cube

Edit: Archived site

Another version

Edit 2: y'all taking the low hanging fruit when y'all know time cube is the most unhinged. If you don't know about how the earth has four simultaneous 24hr days duirng one rotation in sixteen space-times then I don't know what to tell you.

There's nothing unhinged about Time Cube. It's just so obviously true. 4 similtaneous rotations, 4 corner earth days. Circle times square.
Either you need to read it again, or else you're part of the conspiracy of suppression.
- Please be careful when making jokes, it may see harmless rubbish, but at least one person committed suicide due to their obsession with this stuff.
Well that was a rabbit hole

Numerology

They are so unhinged that the doorknob has melted to the floor.

It also seeps into every other batshit conspiracy theory eventually. It's huge in QAnon. If you see a number, pack your bags, it's jover.

1+1 = 2

Do you know what else there were two of? The twin towers. How many planes hit the twin towers? Exactly two. How many times has my wife left me? Only once, but one day I will get the kids back. Fuck you judge McNally

10 digits, infinite bullshit

you think there are sectarian conflicts between like arabic numerals, babylonian base 12, i ching base 2, hindu numbers, roman numerals, etc?
"No it isn't 2 towers, they are two 1's so it's actually 3 in base 2!!"
"Nuh-uh, it's a signed bit so it's negative 1"
"You fools! they are two I's therefore it is II or 2!"
"11 two 1's make 11!!1!"
or something like that i think

JFK's head just did that.

migrane is no joke
JFK's head just doing that is a conspiracy cooked up by the CIA to downplay their involvement in his head head doing that
As in there was no shooter? That is unhinged

“Everything will be alright.”

the earth is round, that's obvious if you just go to the beach, but the moon is a flat disk. the back side of the disk is home to a dinosaur utopia that nasa doesn't want us to know about.

The moon wobbles slightly so over time you'll see the "edges" change as the moon wobbles back and forth while still being relatively one-sided. If you'd be persuaded by looking out from a beach you'll probably also take the above as evidence that the moon is round.
- It's just clever optics deployed by the dinosaur people to hide the truth of their existence!
- So it's a hollow half-shell

there's too much competition for the MOST unhinged... off the top of my head:

JFK was going to rise from the dead (or was secretly still alive) and would show himself as the true secret leader of America and would side with Trump and jail the Clintons

It was JFK Jr, and it was very clearly started by a typo the Qrazies made for RFK Jr, which makes it all even better
Zombie JFK would get my vote.
Maybe Nearly Headless Nick could be his VP.

Flat-earthers, and I see it as the most unhinged for one simple reason:

It seemingly has no -- Stakes?

Like

With every other conspiracy, whether it be related to 5G or Fluoride in the Water or Vaccines or whatever, there is _someone who is consolidating a shit-ton of power or wealth through their conspiring, y'know?

But with Flat Eartherism.... ? Like. Imagine you got control of every educational institution. You use it to convince people the planet is the wrong shape. And by doing that you gain.... -- What exactly? It just seems pointless? We know what people do when they have power to manipulate people on that level, because history tells us. And they generally don't bother with the shape of the planet.

They're usually also Biblical literalists, who believe that their infallible God-authored Bible says the Earth is flat ("four corners", covered in a dome, etc), thus the globe is an attack on Christianity. The worldly institutions are all controlled by the devil, who wants Christians to doubt their Bible and their belief in God.

The point, for believers, is just to know stuff the sheeple don't and feel superior. It's a smug club, they could have picked anything to be contrarian about. It's unfortunate that they've picked a very measurable thing, so they occasionally self-own with experiments. It doesn't change their mind, though, because being right isn't the point.
To keep us from going to the moon, which is both a projection, but behind that projection is the actual gold reserves.
To keep us from reaching the ice wall, or beyond it, to the outer realms and to the hollow earth(According to my source, it is easier to climb down the outside of the ice wall to reach the hollow earth than to dig through the earth's cortex) (And yes, according to my source, the flat earth is floating on top of the hollow earth).
Oh, and to keep the aliens and the secret elite safe and out of reach. Also, Epstein isn't dead, he was extracted by the powers and moved down there as well, so he doesn't tell anyone about the horrors under our feet.
Source: My nutty aunt.
- So are the Ice Walkers on the other side of the ice wall? Those dudes were scary.
  Or maybe it’s more Viking Lore Ice Giants. Even more frightening.

Paul McCartney died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a Canadian man the British government had kidnapped for that purpose. After extensive facial surgery he took on McCartney's role and no one noticed it.

Apart from John Lennon who hid cryptic clues to Faul's real identity and the real Paul's fate in the lyrics of famous Beatles songs.

It's true.

This is hilarious
Damn, so did the original McCartney or the clone beat his wife??
Good ol Billy Shepherd

The UPS driver for my old office building told me trumps not racist or even appealing to racists , he wants to build the wall because there's an underground supercomputer in Mexico thats going to open a portal to hell and flood the world with demons.

Demons: Oh no. A wall. Flies over it
- This sounds like something from a Tarantino movie where the demons start pouring in, but there is a fence. Since there are no fences or walls in hell, none of the demons understand it so they turn around and go home.
- Exactly. Would you want to touch something with flies all over it?
When is this movie releasing? I'd love to watch it
- I mean, it's a rip off of Doom.

That I've actually encountered irl? The Anti 1080 conspiracy in New Zealand.

Its members do things like go out and kill protected birds themselves and dump them because they think the Department of Conservation's pest control plan is on behalf of the Illuminati who want to terraform NZ etc.

I've never encountered that theory before. As far as my exposure has been, most opposition to 1080 is based around bykill; the effect of the poison on non-target species.
The scientific evidence suggests that the number of natives killed unintentionally by 1080 drops is more than compensated by the increased survival rates of those who now suffer less predation, but walk into any pub and you'll find half a dozen people throwing out anecdotes about silent forests in the days after 1080 drops.
- A lot of them also seem to refer to earlier forms of 1080 etc. Given the "silent seas" I suspect what this is really about is a sort of folk response to climate change and ecological collapse.
  But the rabid activist ones seem to have linked the "Agenda 21" conspiracies, chemtrails etc with 1080. The covid/5G stuff as well, Sue Grey (antivax lawyer) was mixed up with the ban 1080 movement.
Do they say what the Illuminati want to terra form NZ in to? Or is just the threat of any kind of terra forming enough?
- It's unclear to me. As far as I can tell they think the United Nations/Illuminati wants to poison the humans, birds, and mammals and ... maybe get rid of farmland? Repurpose New Zealand somehow.
  Some of them have physically attacked Department of Conservation staff, sabotaged vehicles, etc. They're passionate about it.

Id have to go with the jews control everything theory from the racist perspective. They believe that the jews have infiltration top levels of western society for the sole intention of destroying the white race and creating an underclass of mindless golem that they can control.

I really don't get the Nazi belief system.
Some races are superior to others and naturally must rule
Despite all persecutions, Jews are immensely powerful and secretly control the world
According to their own philosophy they should be willingly serving the superior race - Jews
- The hated minority being inferior but also immensely powerful is a pretty standard feature of anti-minority world views of all kinds. It is pretty much required to justify the extreme actions they want to take against the minority.
- Fuck Nazis.
This is like the master conspiracy theory. Every other conspiracy theory just turns into this one after enough time
- The Earth is flat! -> The Jews flattened the Earth!
These people genuinely believe isreali mossad agents targeting their fourm with a psyops and demoralization campaigns. It's very entertaining to observe.
- There’s a decent chance that mossad did.
  Just like the fbi, nsa,cia, kgb, and all the other alphabet soups
I think people are confusing it with Hollywood. There are many jews in Hollywood and many Jewish traditions are seen in American movies.

I feel like flat earthers might be the most insane one I'm familiar with - I don't keep up with the conspiracy-verse though.

Dan Olson did a great video on flat earthers. With a mid-video twist on why you don't see as much of them anymore as you used to

The fast food chain Dairy Queen is different than those branded "DQ". It is not a real Dairy Queen unless it is written out fully and does not use the DQ logo on the store. I will not elaborate further nor eat at DQ. There are still a few real stores in really small towns.

Great now I have to check out my Dairy Queen. Edit: it's a damn dq.
- Don't you mean your Donkey Qong?
- I'm sorry for your loss.
real stores
You say real, I say old. Potato-tomato, tomahto-potahto, let's go have some real snacks.

There was no one responsible for JFK's assassination. His head just randomly exploded on its own.

He tried to hold in a sneeze
Nuh uh, it was a body double clone that he operated remotely, and JFK accidentally hit the contingency plan button, detonating a small explosive charge in the skull.

It's not a conspiracy theory. Finland really doesn't exist.

I mean, I can't see it from here, so I have no choice but to believe you.
- I'm sitting on it and I'm not 100% sure it exists.
Not sure about Finland but New Zealand is often missing from maps which leads me to believe it doesn't exists!
- We like it that way
Vladimir?

I heard an interesting grand theory of conspiracy theories. Many people want the world to be well ordered and easily understood in black and white. Alas, the real world is chaotic, unpredictable, and confusing. To bridge that gap, they reach for religion, conspiracy theories, or both. Can't comprehend evolution? The seven day creation story is nice, neat, and simple. Incredulous that humans could develop the technology to get to the moon? Clearly it is a clever Hollywood director.
- Which creation account, though? The bible has two that are mutually exclusive.

Flat Earth.

It’s not the most immediately shocking, not the most colorful and dramatic, but there are two factors where no other conspiracy theory can compete:

It is so easily falsifiable that basically more people would have to be in on the conspiracy than not.
Nobody would stand to gain anything from the lie.

Yeah, at least with something like the fake moon landing conspiracy, there is a clear motive for it. Like the USA and USSR both had very strong propaganda machines and really strong incentives for hitting the next space race milestone.
The tech was barely advanced enough to perform the functions necessary to complete the mission, everything was pushed to its absolute limits to successfully perform.
But the flat earth thing has none of that. The tech necessary to demonstrate the curvature of the earth existed thousands of years ago and in fact was believed pretty widely by even ancient peoples.
There exists no motive, no incentives, and requires believing that basically all of known physics is completely wrong despite thousands of obvious counter-examples.
Just stupid.

I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

I've never thought of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but if jar-jar being planned to be the actual phantom menace, but later being taken out of the role because fans hated him counts as a conspiracy theory: Count me in! I think the arguments are compelling to say the least.
- I'm just imagining a Usual Suspects type reveal where JarJar straightens his slouch, combs back his ears, looks Obi-Wan dead in the eye, and says: "You're in quite the pickle now, old chap."
Why unhinged?
I still think Yoda is a Sith Lord. What better way to be a Sith Lord and bring complete chaos to the galaxy than to take over the Jedi, redefine who they are over the course of your existence, and support the slave masters rather than help the slaves.
Darth Plagueis saw through it all and eventually put in place a series of events to destroy Yoda’s empire.
I love the Darth JarJar theory. It has a valid argument -- and he could've melted steel beams! Checkmate, those-other-nutballs!

That avril Lavigne was replaced by a clone is so incredibly silly and I honestly thought it was a joke first, but people are really obsessing over it. She recently did a podcast and acknowledged the conspiracy and laughed about it, what fueled the believers even more.

They think they same about Britney Spears
- Nah there was some weird yellow shirt conspiracy shit IIRC. Turned out to be kinda true as well.

The "no shooter" theory is pretty far out there.

?
- What if there was no shooter, and JFK's head just did that?

Flat earth and that us Aussie are paid actors.

- I'm owed A LOT of backpay then!
If they were really professional actors then their Kiwi accents would be more convincing.
That's just what an aussie would want us to think... 🤨 🤨🤨 /s

The global wealthy elite being pedophiles conspiracy is unthinkably evil. It’s also unfortunately true. Epstein’s island proved it.

Can you please explain that? I thought the island proved it was true.

One of my favourite historical ones was the John birch society saying Lyndon B. Johnson was a communist agent, who started the Vietnam war to help communists take over the USA.

Microsoft, the state of South Dakota, and the Freemasons have been infiltrated by the Unified Buttjones Imperial Court (UBIC), formed in 1834 by the merger of the Imperial Buttjones Society and the All-Ireland Industrial Arsing Federation. UBIC agents camouflage themselves as janitors, assistant product managers, or beagles, and spread an invisible green slime over toilet seats to infect the minds of their targets. Through this mental infiltration, they obtain control over the vazween or pony-flavored sector of the human soul, creating Inter-Vazween Buttjones Networks (IVBN) through repeated application of the Greater Invoking Pentacle of Pony Erotic Revelation (GIPPER). Using an apparatus constructed from illegal immigrants, UBIC uses the IVBN and GIPPER to insert bugs into Windows, Masonic initiations, and the Lewis & Clark State Recreation Area. Anyone who denies this obvious truth is a buttjones.

fubo is a buttjones. Dispatch and neutralize.
Oh, is this the new Scientology doctrine now?
- I think they're still on Bawdy Satans or something. Fools!
I've been feeling that my vazween was a bit out of kilter recently! I KNEW I shouldn't have used that public toilet...

The one where the Nazis found an Antarctic hole into a hollow earth world with aliens/lizards inside it... And that's where they were getting their tech.

Well, that's just silly! We all know they were getting their advanced tech from Hydra.

Kangaroos don't exist

They are always suspiciously about 100m or so away, so we can’t see the wires and rods.
- Wallabies are real though - have seen them close up.
The CGI isn't even very good.
They don't tho

My pet conspiracy theory that California does not exist. It was invented by democrats to pad their electoral votes. Any one who has traveled there actually went to a staged area in Oregon. Anyone who claims to live there is either brainwashed or in on it. Maps, globes, etc. have all been altered. Satellites have special software that adds California to its images. Spacecraft windows are actually screens that digitally alter earth to add California.

Once you consider that California is allegedly the location of Hollywood and movies often create convincing, fake worlds, it makes sense. Hollywood was created to take advantage of the tech developed to fake California and continue funding the conspiracy...

I make a YT channel about bizarre conspiracy theories. I keep coming back to the people who make videos claiming that 5G is actually a deadly weapon on their 5G Iphone 16. Nobody has more cognitive dissonance than these guys.

It's amusing seeing some of the ones that were only even really plausible (and I use the term loosely) for a brief time hold traction after that time has passed. Like the 5G ones where even if you ignore the whole technical side of it, it was a possibility before it was deployed but now it's out there. If it was turning people into zombies or whatever, it would be doing that right now. Or if not, then what are they waiting for?
Or covid vaccines. Yeah, when they were first being sent out, there were potential unknowns and it was possible that they were RNA coded to do who knows what instead of just giving improved immunity to covid. I have no idea how I'd even check on something like that other than seeing what happens when someone is injected with it. But lots of people were injected with each of the vaccines. And though some issues popped up, I don't think there was an evil plan to give like less than 1 in 100 generally minor and temporary heart issues that the actual virus also gave (but generally worse). But I still see profiles on tinder that say they prefer someone unjabbed. What timeline do they think this conspiracy is operating on? "Get a covid vaccine and you'll likely be dead within 100 years!"
And the funniest (saddest?) part is that there are real conspiracies. Like there's clearly a push to turn the world fascist happening right now as the billionaire class positions itself to control how society transitions into a world where not nearly the same amount of labour is required. There's been a group aiming to suppress information about climate change and our way of life's role in it. Russia and China both aim to no longer be 2nd fiddles to the western world, which itself isn't the benevolent ruler it likes to pretend to be. Science closes in on solving aging but the amount of people who read this message and will have access to it are likely under 1% (unless some kind of eternal servitude setup is developed). Almost everything about our society is set up to funnel wealth to the privileged few and conservatives almost openly sabotage public services whenever they are in power. Police brutality won't get fixed because the ruling class benefits from the enforcer class being hated by the general public--otherwise they might band together and then the rulers would be fucked. Oh, and as much as conservatives like to bitch about immigrants (illegal or not), you never them suggest going after those who employ them unless it's the tech companies who follow the legal route. All the illegal immigration talk isn't about stopping it but about gaining more control over them while continuing to exploit them.
You don't need lizard people or aliens for a good vs evil kind of narrative. Elon Musk being human doesn't make him a good human or anyone's friend.
Sounds like you make content I'm interested in. What's your channel called?
- It's called Mind of Steele. If you subscribe please say hello!

That Stalin was the "good guy".

Donald Trump is really Andy Kaufman method acting.

I'd actually be less mad, I think, if it turned out to be a Kaufman prank.
I'd still want him in prison though.

Lizard people wins the price, hands down.

I haven't been able to find this theory again because searching for it brings up the moon landing conspiracy, but some people think that there's a second, fake moon which is why the moon rises and sets twice a day.

That's no moon....
which is why the moon rises and sets twice a day
It...but...that's...
Huh?

"Michelle Obama is a man"

- There is a fellow kiwi that debunks conspiracies (mostly flat earth) on youtube that has come out as trans (@Planarwalk). The utter vitriol that has been directed at her since she came out (and a little before as she at that stage tended towards effeminate) has been incredible to see. Trans people must be some of the strongest folk around.
- I'll bite. What's the proof?

The Mandela Effect is pretty wild, but it’s also the most explicitly mental-health issue adjacent of an already “are you sure you’re ok?” field.

There's an addendum to the theory where essentially you keep walking through worlds forever, quantum erasure style, never dying from your perspective, merely getting older and older.
Thing is, if this was actually true, we would see old people everywhere (as observers of their non-erasure).
- But what if you are the main character but everyone else is not?

That's like asking who the craziest person is. Like, there's so many to choose from, and they get less and less well known as you go nuttier and nuttier.

Qantas used to have a 'u' in it, but they changed their name so now you don't even know!

Pretty grim, but also pretty amazing if you smoke drugs about it.

Lol you removed my comment I guess I am on to something

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Only admins can I think. But I definitely did not remove a comment.
- Alright, glowie...

"Israel is the most moral army in the world".

Much like flat earth, Zionists have crafted an entirely alternate reality to justify their Nazi-like worldview by making up new lies daily to justify their previous lies being debunked.

The amount of mental gymnastics Zionists perform to pretend israel is following international law is absolutely breathtaking. For every debunk of their lies they come up with a new lie until the lie is so advanced that you need to sit through a 6 hour debate with Norman Finkelstein until they admit that "they actually don't care about international law anyways and it's antisemitic".

Oh, not 1080p haha.

The official 9/11 conspiracy theory... Literally would need to change the laws of physics for it to be true

- ?
There's an official conspracy theory?
- Jet fuel can't melt steel beams, it was a controlled demolition, yadda yadda.
- Yeah... The official theory from the Bush administration= a conspiracy theory... It defies logic and physics. Check it out if you're interested
yeah like the hole in the pentagon that is a perfect circle and there was no impact from the planes wings

Russiagate

- Russia manipulated the results of the US election via a twitter mind hack. A couple of guys posted a meme that was so powerful that everyone who saw it wanted to vote for Trump.
  No seriously. That's what people believe.
- Russia stole the Presidential election by hacking DNC and Podesta emails for WikiLeaks to publish so Russian asset reality tv star Donald Trump would win? But also it was Russian bots and memes that did the trick? LMAO.
  In reality, Clinton stole the primaries from Bernie and made sure her opponent would be Trump who she believed would be a weak opponent, by getting her media mates to constantly talk about him. This 'pied-piper' strategy was a massive own-goal. So she blamed Russia for her own failures and of course everyone ran with it.

Stalin single-handedly starved 8 million+ Ukrainians, Russians, and Kazakhs in the 1930s to stop some nationalists.
