    I got one - and it’s the only conspiracy theory I give any credence to.

    All of Helen Keller’s feats were utter bullshit and were a circus side show to bring money to her family. It’s the perfect “you can do anything if you just put your mind to it” fairytale. Like hell she flew an airplane, ain’t no way she wrote a book.

    Before anyone provides evidence of the contrary, I will not accept it no matter how damning it is. Hence the “firmly hold.”

      This “your evidence has no power here” is exactly the energy I was looking for lol.

          I think it was some TikTok conspiracy theory that started trending. I don’t know if people actually believe it or they’re just memeing, but I refuse to engage with those people regardless
