that for a conspiracy theory to be true, the conspirators would need to pay off everyone who was defending them or doing things that helped them prevail with their conspiracy.
Excerpt from my earlier post:
This thread was about global warming. In the discussion, Fourth & Long made the assertion that it was:
"a hoax designed to line the pockets of the the elites and to facilitate a new world order/global economy which undermines the best interest of the US"

You took issue with that, mocking him by saying:
"Right.. and they pay off thousands upon thousands of scientists to create fake studies.
JFC, conspiracy tards are stupid."

Like they had to pay off hundreds of 'fact checkers', social media censors & news reporters regarding all sorts of news items like Covid, Russia collusion, Biden's dementia etc?, etc?, etc.?
Do you realize that the government is the elephant in the room... the one that has much/most of the money to throw around in grants, government favoritism in contracts and so on?

Please keep on track and discuss this argument:
Is it impossible for a conspiracy to have hundreds or thousands of people who are doing things that help the conspiracy unless the conspirators "pay off" all of those hundreds or thousands of people?
