What's a low stakes conspiracy theory you believe? (hexbear.net)

We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

Paul Wellstone was assassinated, pretty sure I've said this one last time the thread came up.

Progressive Senator from Minnesota during the 90's, one of the few to vote against the Iraq war. Small plane mysteriously crashed a week before election day. The pilot was a white collar criminal with lots of issues.

At a meeting full of war veterans in Willmar, Minn., days before his death, Wellstone told attendees that Cheney told him, "If you vote against the war in Iraq, the Bush administration will do whatever is necessary to get you. There will be severe ramifications for you and the state of Minnesota."

Brace's Rules for Life, but a lot of people in Minnesota agree Wellstone was murdered.
