The great replacement conspiracy theory is that a shadowy group (probably the Jews) is deliberately encouraging immigration, encouraging non-white people to have lots of children, and preventing white people from having children, all as a form of genocide. This is completely dead wrong. We don't really see "native" populations being replaced, and to the extent that we do it happens despite the efforts of people in power. The fact that a conspiracy theory contains a kernel of truth, or at least plausibility, does not justify the flights of fancy that follow.

Epstein was running a massive sex trafficking ring. Hillary Clinton was not running one out of a pizza parlor.

The CIA experimented with mind control. It did not use radio telescopes and chemtrails to do it.

The government has videos of weird things in the air. It does not have captured alien spacecraft.

Certain people actually did try to steal the 2020 election. Joe Biden was not one of them.

>Covid responses around the world showed that vaccine passports were very much on the cards.

This is strange to me. Of course they were on the cards! We've handled pandemics before. All these supposedly sinister tools have been used in the past. There's no need for cloak-and-dagger scheming when governments have well-tested legal authority to simply mandate vaccination.

On the election stealing it was both trump and Hillary so that’s kind of a pattern now
