    There are some valid reasons I can entertain that 9-11 was either planned by the US, or at least allowed to happen without interference. I don’t have a strong belief either way, but I’m open to conversation.

    I will not, however, engage with someone who brings up jet fuel melting beams. You sound like a dolt, and the exact mechanism of destruction doesn’t factor into the matter.

      The thing is while the jet fuel would not have outright melted steel beams, it would certainly have weakened them enough to compromise the building’s structural integrity. But ironically a lot of conspiracy theorists care more about being right than learning the truth, so will not care about nuance or acting in good faith.

      You can see similar issues with anti-vaxers objecting to vaccines as unsafe because of outliers. Correlation is enough to prove them right on their points but unimportant for statistics that counter them.

      I mean that’s… Like, a lot of what they’ve released from the Epstein files was stuff so crazy that just talking about it makes you sound like a lunatic, I feel like that happens a lot. There are real conspiracies that are grounded in material aims and of a realistic scope, but there’s so much added in that most reasonable people don’t have the energy to sift through all the bullshit. Trying to unravel real conspiracies will ruin your life if you’re not clever and careful.
