This is what conspiracy theories are supposed be. Absurd insanity. Not “vaccines are bad for you” or “a secret agent with Q clearance wants patriots to overthrow democracy”.
It didn’t really make sense to me that he would be right there when the Jedi landed. The Trade Federation has multiple landing locations, which we saw in the movie, how did Darth Jar Jar know which one had the two Jedi stowed away on? Also how did he know that they escaped or would escape? Plus why didn’t he just kill them on route to meeting Anakin?
I so wish it would have been true. I didn’t mind Jar Jar as much as others, I’m old (original trilogy old) and think he was… adequate for comic relief and for the kids, but him being a bumbling Sith would be just perfect. I should look for some fan fic of this
Case in point: A reality TV show called Big Brother, named after the nebulous, terrifying, all-powerful overseer in George Orwell’s 1984, was created specifically to rob the name of its power.
More like there being chemicals that actually fucked up frogs’ genitals but we only ever heard about it through the lens of Alex Jones and “turning the freaking frogs gay [sic]” https://youtu.be/i5uSbp0YDhc
Alex was just yelling about headlines he doesn’t understand, groundwater runoff affecting water tables is serious news covered a lot. It’s not fun so doesn’t make it to memes.
Alex supports Trump who cut a third of the EPA budget, Biden strengthened the EPA significantly. Things that actually matter get reported on but receive very few clicks, at some point we have to accept we’re responsible and make an effort to change.
Oh, please don’t mistake me as believing Alex Jones is some sort of bastion of truth. While I find it interesting there is truth behind the meme, it’s more upsetting that the manner in which people hear it is still coming from a place of misinformation and bigotry. (Bigotry as in having different genitals doesn’t make you homosexual, yet the claim is that it “turns frogs gay.” Which is why I tossed the sic tag on the quote.)
I stood near him on “conventions” a few times with some years in between and he is such a nasty person both while making phone calls and in the way he treats others/his staff.
Comes over as someone who can’t find any joy in the small things in his life and p*sses on everyone else because of it.
It’s vicious and anti-scientific, but it’s not in the same level of obviously untrue statement as good conspiracy theories. Things that were claimed to be safe turning out to not be safe is something that actually happens. They’re just lying that it’s true of vaccines.

I prefer the “Darth Jar Jar” and “The Bloop” levels of conspiracy theories.
Darth jar jar was absolutely meant to be canon and you can’t change my mind.

If you count the Lego Star Wars sets, it is canon now :D
Whaaaat?
There will be a short series on Disney+ and a few Lego sets where they basically flip the whole universe on its head. https://www.starwars.com/news/lego-star-wars-rebuild-the-galaxy

The bumbling bit was the cover. Dude was definitely competent.
I miss Batboy and Elvis being spotted in their convertible UFO.
Bruh there’s actual supporting evidence for Darth Jar Jar. He doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with the crazy shit!
The best conspiracy ever conceived was the one that convinced people that conspiracies are absurdist caricatures of the very real threat of collusion.
All these crazy conspiracies just weaken the perception of the mundane real ones.
If I was gonna conspire, the first step would be to trivialize the idea in the first place.
Conspiracy theorists are useful idiots.

It was originally a Dutch TV show by the hack who created Fear Factor and you are giving him way too much credit.
Pleasantly surprised he is mentioned in that way.

That doesn’t shock me, but I doubt de Mol has any sort of secret conspiracy with the world powers going on.
“vaccines are bad for you” is extremely absurd and insane, tbf.
