My favorite conspiracy is that no one killed JFK. His head just did that.
That's an SNL joke that made it's way into Family Guy.

The issue is that he didn't get that pre approved (we could have got it in network if he did)
Cue Sarah McLachlan music.

Seriously though, JFK tried to do some good things. I’d be curious to hear the tankie response. Probably something about the Cuban missile crisis.

So in Seattle last week there was a man who accidentally shot himself in the leg while driving his car. He called 911 because he obviously needed help, but tried to tell cops that he was shot by a stranger while driving. They asked why there were no entry holes in his car, and I think he went to jail for being a dumbass.
Anyway, how do we know JFK didn't accidentally shoot himself and then try to cover it up because he was so embarrassed.
Because he was in a convertible. Obviously the bullet(s?) could have come from outside of the car. Checkmate Zapruder.

For every time a person has an intensely strong opinion about something they don't know much about and which doesn't actually affect them.
The first thing that came to my mind is the genocide in Gaza. Jews and fundamentalist Christians have a vested interest (sort of...), as do Israeli citizens (more obviously) in denying the genocide, but way more people than those small demographics do so. Those others are the grandpa.
But it occurred to me as I was writing that this could equally apply to things like gay marriage, or trans rights.
I think this is a bit different: western Zionists may not have personal connections to the Gaza genocide, but they have strong cultural and ideological ones. And given how much western governments are all in on Zionism, it does affect them indirectly.
A Welsh Rwandan genocide denier is more out of left field

My theory is that one of his security details turned around to ask him a question and accidentally shot him in the face like Marvin in pulp fiction
lol this is the best theory I’ve ever heard. Except they would have shot him like three times by accident. Then they go to Nixon’s house where he is complaining about his wife’s coffee.
I would pay to see that movie.

I read all the replies and then completely forgot this was about Rwanda.
Now I feel bad. I think I even had to write a paper about this in the 90s.

Early signs of dementia or paranoid schizophrenia, maybe.
That means anon is genetically more likely to develop either/both too.
If any of you all have a family member suffering from those you should avoid triggers that can cause onset on an early age like smoking weed, especially under 25 years old.

Yup. I doubt OOP is going to read this, but it's still very important advice.

There is actually a theory that he was shot by accident by a secret service agent trying to return fire.

I don't think it having "ideological connections" makes this metaphor weaker. In fact, I think it highlights exactly why using a comparison out of left field makes the metaphor stronger. The only reason non-fundamentalist-Christians and Jews in the west have for denying the genocide in Gaza is that it has become normalised to do so. If you take a step back and think about why a white moderate "Christmas-and-Easter Christian" (or even an atheist) American, Australian, or European might have a connection to what's going on in the Middle East...like, really think about it, there is no rational explanation. Only because others have decided to politicise it and make it a talking point and a part of political identity, do westerners end up having disproportionally strong opinions about it. It's self-reinforcing in that way, but it's no more rational than the Welsh Rwandan genocide denier, at its core.

I took physics in high school, so I'm basically a qualified expert. I can confirm that quantum mechanics tell us that this is possible. Exceedingly unlikely, but possible.
From what i know its also possible for a hand to phase through a table but even if someone would slap a table from the start to end of the universe it would be unlikely to happen (i forgot the thickness of the table)

This is why it's important to listen to the eyewitnesses. Their perspective might not be perfect, but it's authentic.

Are we sure it wasn't a pre-existing condition?

not necessarily schizophrenia, but likely another psychotic disorder. possibly delusional disorder if no other symptoms are met. schizophrenia has several criteria that must be met beyond delusions

wrote last edited by [email protected]cant dx schizophrenia without more info. all we can identify is a few reported symptoms from a third party. the secret messages are called Loose Associations and that with the persistence of belief in the face of evidence to the contrary indicates a delusional belief, but those can occur in several psychotic disorders. for schizophrenia we'd at least need to confirm two out of three of bizarre motor activity, disorganized speech, and preferably some negative (withdrawing) symptoms like flat affect, avolition, etc

Of course, the idea that the President’s head can just explode for no reason in view of the public, and by implication, so can anyone else’s at any time, is far more existentially terrifying than any assassination plot, so, to avert mass panic and social collapse, the FBI hurriedly framed some local weirdo, and then killed him before anyone could flag that he probably had nothing to do with it, which is the only reason why everyone’s life savings still had any value afterwards.
