    I used to kind of enjoy hearing conspiracy theories because the absurdity of them made me laugh. Then I learned that they all basically boil down to racism and bigotry, so that kind of ruined the fun. Now the only one I hold onto is the Berenstain Bears alternate timeline theory because I’m pretty sure that one doesn’t have any racist bits.

        They aren’t Berenstein in this timeline though. They are Berenstain. Also, I meant the timeline split conspiracy isn’t racist ad far as I’m aware. It is slightly anti science since it pones fun at the LHC.

        Though I also don’t remember anything racist about the books. That isn’t saying a lot since I haven’t read them in a couple of decades.

            The alternate name which isn’t even the real one?

            Also, what are you saying? That any book series about a family with a jewish name is racist? Isn’t that a little… racist… of you?

            Next you’ll be saying it’s racist because the bears are brown…

              You’re neither wondering, nor wandering enough if you lack the imagination to understand this basic level of conspiracy theory.

              Summarized: Berenstein bears, as the Jewish name, was the original and Berenstain is the cover-up. The Berenstein texts were inducing rebellion against authority. Unfortunately, it was discovered early and replaced with minions of the lizard people cabal elite, AKA the Berenstain. It’s in the name, “stain of the Beren”. Anyway, these minions hid propaganda in the altered texts which promoted obedience and subservience.

              It should be obvious by now that the theory is racist towards the lizard people. It’s not like they’re all part of the not-so-secret cabal out for world domination.

              Read more texts, “wanderer”, your imagination is sorely lacking.

                Crackpot.

                The Berenstein texts were inducing rebellion against authority.

                Double-crackpot.

                Unfortunately, it was discovered early and replaced with minions of the lizard people cabal elite, AKA the Berenstain.

                Triple-crackpot.

                It’s in the name, “stain of the Beren”. Anyway, these minions hid propaganda in the altered texts which promoted obedience and subservience.

                Am I getting shitposted?

                    Some people are legitimately racist, neonazi crackpots. I’m rarely surprised by anything I see on the internet, unless it’s something that turns out to be unexpectedly wholesome…
