Finland doesn't exist is a meme. I don't think that one is dangerous. What is dangerous is thinking it's funny to take any meme too far, to the point where it becomes a core part of your personality. Standing pat and denying reality may feel like a fun game when it's only a meme.
I honestly cannot tell whos joking on the internet anymore and i fkn love it, have u seen that guy who rants about how australia doesnt exist. holy god i love it.
& yeah, it's not harmful, and majority of the people are prolly joking when they say it.
It's funny until they become "magna carta freemen of the land" types that deny the rule of law because of a meme that got away from someone. Like this is crazy crazy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ky5pLTTqbhI
There's some weird wayfair furniture sales for extremely large amounts of money (10k+) that use girls first names as the name of the furniture. The conspiracy is that it's a front for child trafficking. Belief in this conspiracy caused a lot of real world harm.
holy hell thanks for that link, i'd known about the wayfare conspiracy but i didnt realize it was QANON or had such bad effects, just thought it was some ploy to lower prices

"Subliminal messages from ruling class on children's TV"
It's just called "TV" actually.

I thought MKUltra was all but proven. (Or did I just out myself as a low tier nut job?)

It is, the bottom section is "grounded" in reality as in there's evidence and it's real

I had no clue people had conspiracy theories about Denver Internantional Airport. Like WTF?
GCanuck@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Have you seen that airport? It’s super weird. Crazy conspiracy theories are just the natural extension of that reality.
(Note: Not saying I buy into the theories, just saying I understand why they exist.)

The moon landing seems quite tame compared to George Soros and the globalist take over...

Weird infographic. Why is it a pyramid, is that supposed to give it more credibility? What is the arrow from inverted apex to inverted base indicate?

Dude, UFO should be in the first section! It's real!11!
Rodeo@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 3y
Of course UFOs are real. The problem is people conflate them with aliens, so when I say UFOs are real, they hear "aliens are real".
