There appear to be some conspiracy theories around the world fairs: https://www.reddit.com/r/CulturalLayer/comments/85a0ck/the_world_fairs_were_used_as_an_excus

  So that’s what happened to all the fun conspiracy theories after r/conspiracy went full right wing! > The above picture is called the Palace of Fine arts constructed in 1915 for the Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. If the official history is to be believed then why does this period painting from the early 1900s show the structure already heavily weathered as it is covered in moss and vines. If the building was built when they said it was then it should have looked brand new, instead it looks ancient. That’s just so wholesome and fun. No mention of Q or pedos or anything.

    The Palace of Fine Arts was entirely reconstructed in 1962 out of more durable materials, and was always intended to look like a cool ruin. I still don't think it's healthy to spread misinformation (not you, this so called rabbit hole post) even if apparently "benign".
