Conspiracy theory? I didn't even state a theory.
- JshWright 7y agoYour use of the word "who" implies that the fire was intentionally set by someone.
- SuddsMcDuff 7y agoGiven the rampant vandalism of Churches in France in recent years, including arson, it's quite reasonable to speculate that Notre Dame might have suffered the same fate. https://www.newsweek.com/spate-attacks-catholic-churches-france-sees-altars-desecrated-christ-statue-1370800 https://www.newsweek.com/spate-attacks-catholic-churches-fra... https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/vandalism-at-hundreds-of-french-churches-n509gwb0d https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/vandalism-at-hundreds-of-...
- JshWright 7y agoGiven the lack of evidence for arson, that speculation seems quite unfounded. Asking the question "Who set the church on fire?" is also not merely speculation, it is a presumption.
- SuddsMcDuff 7y ago"Given the lack of evidence" That's the very definition of speculation. "speculation seems quite unfounded" Purely a matter of personal opinion. There is a clear trend at play in France that is very uncomfortable and disturbing. I think it's lunacy to ignore it. But to each their own. That such speculation is often met with animosity is strange in itself. The conspiracy theory, if there is one, is that there is evidence of arson, but it's being suppressed by the authorities. I'm explicitly not taking a stance on that.
- syxun 7y agoIf there was arson, especially one caused by you-know-what-ethnicity, then don't count on the authorities telling us.
- selimthegrim 7y agoWhy would the authorities fail to prosecute? It's a surefire election winner. Also most of the arsons linked to upthread were blamed on anarchists and feminists.
- JshWright 7y agoAgain, I have no problem with speculation. The question, however, was not speculation. It was starting from the assumption that the fire was intentionally set. That is not speculation.
