What conspiracy theory are you changing your mind about.

I'm sure them policy papers, like "Which Path to Persia"is real! And - the USA has a bipartisan coalition in Washington, what's been following these policies! Together! With plans! For decades!
It's you and me that's against having five year plans! We pick free market and small government for people, they rule.
I'm a Credence fan, really, but their anti Communism is dangerous.

None because I don't follow them in the first place.

Perhaps politicians do try to plan a few decades ahead, but in a multi-party, multi-media democratic system it would be a considerable gamble to predict strategy in more than very shallow, general ways.

Really the most a political party can do is devise its general ideology and try to maintain that.

Apart from the possibility of losing the next election, a party's main difficulty is trying to predict any practical response to any significant national and international political, financial and social developments more than a few years ahead. Indeed, I think it is becoming harder than it might have been a few decades ago.

So they work more from election to election than decade to decade. The only nations that can work in decade steps are the single-party, authoritarian ones designed for continuity of ideology and system, with leaders who may be so for life but are still temporal caretakers of the system.

On "conspiracy theories" generally, I test them by a few basic questions, the first of course being, "Are they even credible?" Most aren't!

I think all of the right-wing internet cultures of the last decade were astroturfed by billionaires.
We know for a fact that all of these movements were born and cultivated on the 4chan /pol/ forum, Jeffery Epstein was regularly in contact with the owner of /pol/, and Epstein funded right-wing media. 4chan is also perfect for astroturfing with bots, because it's anonymous and you don't need an account to post. So with bots, Epstein could make it look like these ideas were much more common than they really were.

I am old school: no conspiracy theories.

I think the commies here in the US have been plotting for a very long time. I also now believe the Freemasons are real and do not trust them except I believe they aren’t commies.
