Those of you who have gotten to know me over the past couple of years are probably well aware that my mind works in mysterious ways. and of those of you who have no idea who I am, let me preface the following with the warning that my imagination sometimes is sort of like a wild horse that sometimes gets away from me.
I was reading something totally unrelated and got this idea. What we (vegans) need is a really good conspiracy theory.
There are plenty of facts that vegans know that most people don't know (or don't care about). and I think it's obvious that the spreading of facts is just not working that great.
I think some of the documentaries had the right idea. Cowspiracy, What the Heath, and Seaspiracy even framed it as conspiracy. And although those movies have had an impact - they haven't really moved the needle. Maybe they have too many facts.
Mark Twain once said that by the time Truth has laced up his boots, the Lie has gone around the world. MIT just recently quanitified this. Lies spread four times faster than facts.
Heck, Vegans are already blamed for spreading lies, propaganda and being being brain washed. We might as well embrace it and use it.
They say that the best lies are the ones that contain a kernel of truth. I wonder if that is still true. Maybe that is old-fashioned or quaint. They also say that it has to be believable. Maybe that isn't true anymore either. Most of the stuff I keep hearing is both baseless and unbelievable.
I don't think its a good idea for a vegan conspiracy theory to promote violence. That seems totally inconsistent with vegan values. I think we just need some reason for people to stop eating meat. Obviously the hundreds of good reasons out there are not good enough. Perhaps they are too fact based.
Something along the lines that vaccines cause autism. (disproven)
Covid is caused by G5 towers. (no evidence)
Climate change isn't real (its a Chinese plot)
The Earth is flat. The moon landing was a hoax, 9/11 and whatever, The 1/6 insurrection was just a peaceful protest and/or a false flag operation by Antifa, Trump won the election. Forty thousand fake Chinese ballots were flown into Arizona and swayed the election for Biden. Hillary Clinton murdered 14 people.
I've already thought of things like the meat industry is injecting cows with the covid vaccine. or there is a secret liberal cabal that is raping baby cows. An undetectable nano-robot is being injected in our meat that will take over our brains.
I just don't like anything I've come up with yet.
Any suggestions?
PS. Note to moderators. Feel free to delete this thread. it might be a bad idea. or... maybe if you delete it, it will only make it a more believable conspiracy theory
