What are your opinions on conspiracy theories as a whole?

There is no “as a whole” when it comes to conspiracy theories. They’re nuanced.

Take, for example, the conspiracy theory that “the elite” are taking over the world and have been conspiring to do so for at least a hundred years. Setting aside the fact that billionaires are actually doing this, “the elite” is an antisemitic dogwhistle based on the insular and closed nature of Judaism and a (highly racist and incorrect) belief that Jews are all wealthy and attempting to control the world economy. This is a bad conspiracy theory - it’s racist, it’s wrong, and it’s rooted in isolationism. Look up the American Jewish Committee for more information on that.

But then look at the “conspiracy theory” that Reagan purposely placed drugs in predominately Black communities in order to destabilize community organization efforts. Additionally, Hoover gave FBI agents free reign to assassinate Black Panther leaders and members indiscriminately. This isn’t a conspiracy theory - look up COINTELPRO. But before this information was released to the public, people who claimed it to be true were seen as conspiracy theorists, that the US government would never attack its own citizens that way. And yet, it did.

So I can’t really speak on conspiracy theories as a whole. Some are actually legit, no matter how much we don’t want them to be. Others are absolute bullshit (I’m looking at you, Q-Anon).

I think what's wrong with me is that my dad loved making boiled peanuts but when you say "boiled peanuts" in a thick Mississippi Delta accent it sounds like "bald penis" and we were forbidden from acknowledging that

My dad, internally: "The children must be fed nutriment. I have in my possession a very large pot and a propane burner; I shall make a sojourn to the grocer's and procure peanuts."

My dad, aloud: "'Ey, y'all wansum bald penis?"

All of us, internally: "Ah yes, such a delectable summertime treat that will be."

All of us, aloud: "'Ey, shitchea. Daddy boutta bal up some bald penis!"

#who the fuck eats peanuts boiled.

They take on a delightful texture similar to water chestnuts and get infused with whatever seasonings you put in the water. It is literally so fucking delicious and if you don't know about bald penis then you are Deprived. The food of the gods.

Honey, darling, listen to me. Would I lie to you? No, I wouldn't. If you ever find yourself driving around in the rural southern US, you simply must keep an eye out for one of these gentlemen:

For a very reasonable price you'll be provided a cup of absolutely delectable provincial delicacies that will surely equal any hors d'ouvers you might find on the continent. I promise, darling, it is the most délicieuse dining experience you're likely to find, and it will surely--as my dear departed grandmama used to say--"make yer tongue slap yer brains out"

This gentleman has spelled peanuts three different ways on his stall.

the-absolute-worst

That's how you know he's a professional. Spelling does not bind him.

hot take- people who have made a conscious decision to be horrible bigots should understand that they will be treated like people who chose to be horrible bigots
