So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!

But seriously, I’m looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from “we’re using this to see what’s happening way up there in the sky” to “this causes tornadoes”? Who even started this garbage?

    1. people die
    2. society collapses
    3. ???
    4. profit

    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 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.
