    That makes at least a little bit more sense… Not to imply it makes sense, it just makes a little bit more sense.

    I remembered after posting, the children of 4chan were implying the fake sinking thing was some sort of insurance fraud. But that only works if you also take the ship out of service, since otherwise the insurance company will be left wondering, well where did this other ship come from?

    But this is one thing at the heart of conspiracy theories: they don’t actually think about how the world works. It’s like, one of the big conspiracies on 4chan at the moment is ESG—environment, social, and corporate governance scores in investing. They think that this is a social engineering effort, as though Blackrock cares about anything other than money.

    If you’re curious what ESG is really about, it’s a con to make stock-buying more palatable for millennials. But since the children of 4chan don’t know anything about anything, it’s gotta be Jewish social engineering.
