10-15 years ago it was sort of an ironic joke to mock moon landing conspiracy theorists, ("Moon landing? We never landed on the moon!" lulz) that sarcasm was lost and now I meet lots and lots of people who think it's a legitimate position to deny the moon landing. Like everything - it's just a belief or an opinion.
So I think it'll be remembered as a hoax in the future thanks to memes and just general internet fuckwadery.
- dwaltrip 7y agoIs there any serious and generally respected organization that denies the moon landings? 99.99% of memes will be forgotten forever, crushed quietly by the grinding stone of time.
- wincy 7y agoThe only way I would pay attention to denial of the moon landing is if it was someone like Russia. The fact that Russia did not dispute the moon landing seems like a very strong signal that it actually happened.
- dwaltrip 7y agoI was simply being skeptical of the idea that historical records in the future will, in any serious way, deny the moon landings. Seems quite far fetched to me. Moon landing denial seems pretty fringe from my understanding.
- libraryatnight 7y agoExcept they don't. The little bits of nonsense people glean from them live on in swapped bar room factoids and water cooler smalltalk. I still hear rubbish about "death panels" from memes about Obama care from when he was in office. Memes come and go but the effects linger and shape culture.
