Superior conspiracy theory:

Everything stupid regional PETA organizations do is amplified a thousandfold by the trillion dollar global meat industry. As a result, you will never hear anything good PETA does without looking for it deliberately.

Same with a whole bunch of other NGOs and other industries but to lesser extents.

The main thing I remember about PETA is that they made a very funny parody of Pokémon Black and White that was clearly written by someone who enjoyed the games but was frustrated that the games don’t commit to honestly engaging with the idea that Pokémon battling is animal abuse even though it’s, like, a central plot point, and then cretins with no media literacy ran with “PETA hates Pokémon” as the main coverage of it.

It’s rough, because people often say “Nobody actually believes ____,” but no matter how stupid it is, someone does believe that, and they’re running a facebook group for like-minded people. Even if it were some kind of psyop, I’d bet that they could cut payroll pretty early when the volunteers started knocking on the door.

Dont post crowder, guys a fuckin asshole

The founder of PETA seems like a legit crazy true believer from what I remember. Hard to fake that level of mania.

If this were true it would be one of the most effective propaganda campaigns ever executed.

I think it’s far more likely that PETA is just a collection of incompetent weirdos and the meat industry wins by doing nothing.

Poe’s Law applies. Even if the meat industry got the ball rolling, it would have become self-sustaining on the strength of people to whom the idea appeals on a psychological level.

My one conspiracy theory is that the secret service accidentally shot jfk after the chaos of the magic bullet. It’s a fuck up so big it demands lifetime secrecy.

We need to go further. The world is secretly run by cows. This conspiracy within a conspiracy is just an attempt to hide the fact that it’s people. BEEF IS PEOPLE!
