I don’t really like the conspiracy theory of the moon landing being fake next to mass surveillance after 9/11 - which really happened as shown by Snowden.
To deny things like e.g. the mass surveillance after 9/11 does not make us more believable and doesn’t make it more likely to convince climate change deniers.
bruh.. You maybe missed the entire part where there are lots of people who think 9/11 was an inside job, false flag, whatever they think. Ever heard the phrase "jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams"
That's the reference here. Not that we went into a crazy surveillance state.
But the fact is that 9/11 , whatever kind of job was ( inside? External? Mixed? ) , was used to push a surveillance state, as they waited for the right occasion. As covid with lockdowns and cashless society push. The fear that climate change will be used to push other autoritarian measures it is not conspiracy, is a fact.

Joe Biden famously claimed that the PATRIOT Act was based on his legislation, a counter-terrorism omnibus bill that had failed previously.
They always seem to have plenty of unsavory ideas "lying around."
