What have you witnessed or seen that would sound like a conspiracy theory if someone else told you?

    The Green Party in my country is blocking the development of green alternatives to the industry that is one of the highest emitters of greenhouse gasses and various other pollutants (there’s a reason most of our rivers are no longer safe to swim in and the levels of certain cancer-causing compounds are 10-100x the EU safe limit in some areas’ water supplies), while private corporations and the main right-wing party are pushing for their legalisation.

    A certain local indigenous group (which is technically a registered corporation) doesn’t really like people mentioning the fact that they’re currently driving an endangered native animal extinct by turning the only area they inhabit into dairy farms.

    Also most of the politicians in this country are liars and/or sociopaths, but that kinda goes without saying lol

            I just kinda liked beehaw when I was first switching to lemmy - was one of the first few people to join the Te Wai Pounamu community when it initially got started a few months back though!

          Until you said that I thought you might be talking about Canada.

          Nah, New Zealand. Got plenty in common though - we still share a king and all that!
