If you're going to present speculation, you should clearly state that it's speculation. Because like all conspiracy theories, it's presented as objective truth. It's not an established fact that Lincoln was killed by bankers. It's not an established fact that JFK was killed by bankers. Yet here both of those claims are asserted as if they were common knowledge. It's a tactic that leads people who may not be informed to accept and adopt these theories, and become yet another vector for spreading the virus. It's an intentionally dishonest presentation that seeks to persuade under false pretenses. This is why it's so important to keep your critical thinking faculties active and present when scrolling and reading these posts.
