"Trump started the war in Iran to make green energy and EVs more desirable" is an actual conspiracy theory that is going around, although, ya, definitely an unintended consequence.
- baq 8mo agoGiven how the previous conspiracy theories turned out we really needed some unconfirmed ones, thanks.
- robocat 7mo agoGoogle's memetic division (~100k employees) is A/B testing AI generated memes as part of their market manipulation (step 3: profit). The A/B tests include low-effect control memes: as null-tests or for exposing information flow. So you should get more unconfirmed theories in your social media. BTW: which Oracle do you use to confirm your conspiracies?
- dzhiurgis 8mo agoHigh oil prices does increase demand for petrodollar, but EV adoption decreases. But I don't think revenue from petrodollar really matters much when you spend nearly $1b per day on missiles. I think real irony is that Iran keeps shipping oil to China and India. At which point US will start nabbing these tankers?
- seanmcdirmid 8mo agoI don't think the US wants a war with China yet, so bombing a Chinese tanker sounds like a bad idea, but Trump isn't exactly the most stable genius, so who knows. India is right next to Iran, it would be really hard to cut off trade between them. Pakistan definitely doesn't want to get involved (being an ally of the US AND China).
- dzhiurgis 8mo agoUS wouldn't bomb tankers, obviously. But boarding and sending them where they came from does make sense. False flag operation makes some sense too.
- unsnap_biceps 8mo agoCitation needed. I really struggle to believe anyone actually believes this.
