Ashton Forbes, a healthcare IT consultant turned UFO/UAP proponent, gained attention for promoting videos claiming Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared due to alien interference, despite evidence debunking the footage. Later, Forbes fell victim to a $3,000 scam involving fake evidence supporting his beliefs, but continued to assert a conspiracy against him.
I think it is funny, cospiracy nuts allways claim to have and open mind, but they tend to be increadibly close minded when talking about facts.
Conspiracy nuts are verifiably one of the easiest groups to manipulate. You convince them you are one of them and you can make them do/believe anything you want. Just say it with a straight face and they’ll make it a core belief they’ll die for.
God I wish Rebecca Watson (and all the other good YouTubers for that matter) would just dual release her content as audio podcasts.
Well deserved.
