You can come up with endless possible reasons for things but without any evidence, and more importantly a falsifiable hypotheses, they are totally worthless. You might as well say the flying spaghetti monster an not aliens and it's no more false.

Maybe aliens are wading through an intergalactic ocean of red tape bureaucratic claims before they can invade legally.

So the aliens aren't American

When Polaris 8 sends its Greys, they're not sending their best.

Thought I should revive this thread rather than post conspiracy related stuff in other threads.

The Man Who Thinks Penguins are Fake is good value for money. This is really peak Flat Earth. Penguins are robots and/or CGI hoaxery.

Good fun with Biden actually coming out and discussing QAnons.

I mean, penguins are birds, aren't they? The CIA probably got them with the rest.

Makes more sense than hyperadvanced intelligent life traveling thousands of light years to rape people and murder cows.
I dunno. In a space society where ftl drives were owned by private individuals I could definitely see some ayy lmaos treating Earth like the cross between a formicarium and a brothel

And I would fly 400 light years and I would fly 400 more

The biggest flaw in the  aliens built the pyramids theory is that if the Egyptians had alien technology they'd have bragged about that shit on every flat surface available.  There are entire cultures and kingdoms we only know about because the Egyptians carved steles bragging about kicking their asses.

As far as why no aliens here goes, I like the Vernor Vinge take, where the galaxy is divided into zones of thought and we're in the part where FTL and AI don't work, to protect us from depredations of hyper-advanced aliens.  It neatly explains the Fermi paradox while leaving open the possibility of eventually ramscooping our way into the beyond and finding vast ancient cosmopolitan galaxy, complete with Space Usenet

I liked a point someone made that since usually only nonwhite cultures have their accomplishments credited to aliens, taking the claims at face value could imply that aliens are racist towards white people.

... Ok ok... But what if we're looking in the wrong place. Maybe the nonwhite alien past conspiracy theories are just part of a bigger more elaborate conspiracy.  Obviously the claim that aliens visited us thousands of years ago is ludicrous. They are visiting NOW and taking up leadership amidst the straight white male ruling class. Don't believe me? Fine. But come on, we've all suspected Elon Musk wasn't human at some time or another. And I'm talking BEFORE he even started putting sci-fi brain computers into pigs. Now the evidence is undeniable

It really is interesting how that Elon Musk stuff isn't getting picked up by an conspiracy theorist. I think the issue is that if they engage with an actual story that involves the actual limits of the technology then they can't then fit that into their broader conspiracy narrative, where the mind control tech is already being used.

One interesting one is the idea that deepfakes are a conspiracy. i.e. the idea is that any media stories worrying about the spread of deepfakes are in fact fake stories planted by the lizard cabal so that when the video of Hillary Clinton's jaw distending and her eating the face off of a child inevitably surfaces it'll be passed off as one of these so-called "deepfakes".

I guess good old Icke is still ahead of the curve with the very current threat of disguised reptoids. Isn't he on that covid is a hoax juice too? I know he was at anti lockdown protests recently

Looked it up because of the alien pyramids thing, but Erich von Daniken is still kicking it seems. Haven't heard anything about him in a long time.

That's Giorgio Tsoukalos, Erich von Daniken wrote Chariots of the Gods, which got the whole shitshow started.
