Preppers get called conspiracy theorists a lot. It’s supposed to be demeaning, but considering how many conspiracy theories have been proven correct lately, I no longer consider it an insult. The more time goes by, the more “conspiracy theorists” just seem ahead of the game.
Quite a few “conspiracy theories” have recently come to light as actual facts in 2023 already. And it’s only the beginning of March.
Let’s look at a recent batch of “conspiracy theories” that aren’t really theories any more.
Gas stoves in peril?

Covid origins?

The Covid vaccine?
…
Mandatory masking?

The air and water in East Palestine?

The gaslighting continues.
If you’ve ever been in an abusive relationship, you probably know what it’s like to have someone trying to convince you you’re crazy. The only way to survive gaslighting like that is to constantly remind yourself of things you know are true. That’s why it’s so important to keep track of whatever narratives we’re supposed to swallow and constantly check them against our preexisting knowledge base. It’s important to hold purveyors of false narratives to account; it’s important to point to tangible facts and to be able to discuss them.
These are only the most recent examples of conspiracy theorists being proven correct. Daisy had an article about “7 Things That Used to Be ‘Crazy Conspiracy Theories’ Until 2020 Happened.” The tin foil hat wearers have been getting vindicated a lot in the past few years.
I think we’re going to keep seeing more of this for a while. Universal Basic Income, digital currencies, AI tech, there are so many new things happening right now.
What about you? How have you been proven correct? Are there any “theories” you’re just waiting to see evidence of on the mainstream? What theories have you seen mocked, then proven true? Let’s talk about it in the comments.
