The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016

Global Economic Collapse

Long has the conspiracy theory existed that says we are going to face a global economic crisis. This conspiracy existed even before 2012, and the “Doomsday” conspiracy theory. Remember that one? Again, 2016 is no different. Rumors swirl that the economy will fail and plunge the entire world into mass hysteria.

Conspiracy theorists suggest that reasons for economic disaster will be because there will be war, the federal reserve is falsely propping up the United States’ money supply, and money is being printed with no actual currency to back it up. Of course, conspiracy sites suggest that you stock up on supplies like canned food and maybe even build your own underground bunker. Given Trump’s questionable stance on nuclear weapons, perhaps building a doomsday bunker is such a crazy idea after all!
