"Conspiracy theorist and right-wing comedian Owen Benjamin is now claiming that nuclear bombs do not exist because there is evidence of cameras filming nuclear blasts.
“It’s weird that the nuclear blasts vaporised brick houses but not the old times camera recording it. It’s because nukes are fake.” Benjamin claims. “Hiroshima and Nagasaki never had any fall out radiation. The whole narrative and all the evidence is absurd.”"
My guess was there was flat earth conspiracy a few years ago but with just telescope a far off object and a few calculations you can show the earth is not flat. The flat earth guys even did some experiments and figured they are wrong. So how do you prove nukes are real, do these guys have to make one, test it and go, " I guess I was wrong"

Some people seem to be claiming, for example, that the Lord will wipe us out, for some supposed sins, although in an objective sense there may have been more sins in the late 60's. This conspiracy theory, doesn't necessarily depend on man-made destruction either, it could be a case of something involving natural processes.
Right now the current conspiracies are
(1) UFOS are on earth right now, before you think this some some Harvard professor just said he found UFO parts near New Guiana.
(2) The Covid vaccine will kill everyone any day now.
(3) There is group of elite who want to depopulate the earth and transfer their minds to machines.
(4) Covid was made in a lab in China with the help of the US
Before you think these guys are all crazy ask your self if you believe in something that is crazy? I bet most have something they either believe or think is possible but is probably a conspiracy theory. A good conspiracy can have a small chanceof being possible but in general the believers ignores all other possible explanations or evidence. These crazy ideas turn out to be true or partially true on occasion but 9 or 10 times the are wrong, but people only remember the one time it was sort of right and generalize that all conspiracies theories must be true.
Everyone knows about all the right wing conspiracies, Covid, the elite and so on, however the left wing also has beliefs that on the face of it are also crazy, such as you can change your sex, critical race theory, that there is group of elite rich people that control society to make more money and so on. These ideas maybe more mainstream that the right wing junk but in fact have much the same structure as conspiracies in that some part could be true, or possible but they will not consider other explanations or look at other evidence.
As for any UFO's or elites, there is a lack of solid evidence there, I think.
The Biblical beliefs as I pointed out, are of course, a form of conspiracy theory as well attributing earthly events to opposing supernatural powers, good and evil, or alternately can be seen as a warning that bad things do happen as historically, all good times are followed by bad, and of course, good times as they continue, lead to a sort of moral and ethical decline. Since humanity has unprecedented power and control in this day and age, we might expect some sort of apocalypse if this historical pattern holds.
I pretty much agree with you on Covid.
The UFO stuff is weird because you are starting to see astronomy professors is Harvard claiming this stuff.

So Aliens make UFOs out of iron? This just seems dumb and I would not want to be in this guys group. From what I know most other faculty find these claims either weird or just a cheap way to get attention.
