The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016
WWIII
Conspiracy websites have long said that WWIII is on the horizon, and the year 2016 was no different. This year, conspiracy theorists have said that the United States will soon go to war with either China or Russia. The country being fought seems to change regularly.
However, these sites also often claim that the war will only be a front to detract from economic collapse or income inequality. These same rumors have persisted throughout years and during the terms of multiple presidents so it’s highly unlikely at this point. Although, as mentioned previously, it has been proven that Russia did attempt to sway a United States presidential election, so we would find that issue a bit more pressing.
