    A 10 storey gash and sprinklers not turning on tends to create those conditions for collapse 🙃

    The debris from WTC 1 caused structural damage to the southwest region of WTC 7—severing seven exterior columns—but this structural damage did not initiate the collapse. ... Even without the structural damage, WTC 7 would have collapsed from the fires that the debris initiated.

      I guess this in itself is not right-wing, as far as I'm aware. It's more that the mindset of conspiracy-theorists leans more towards the right because, in general, the conspiracy theory rabbit hole often lead to anti-Semitism. If you look at Q-Anon and pizzagate and a lot of far-right culture over the last decade, it's all conspiracy theories within conspiracy theories. The biggest predictor of whether you will believe any given conspiracy theory is if you already believe another conspiracy theory.

      So, in conclusion, you're correct and it isn't right wing. It's the first step down that path and I automatically lumped it in with the right because of that

      Maybe because the right tends to distrust authority. But note that the perpetrators of the conspiracies also tend to be on the right. Nixon (watergate), Reagan (Iran contra), Bush (9/11, yellowcake) etc.

        Wait… wouldn’t the plane just, like, collapse in on itself? Or at least just fly through Superman and have a Superman sized hole in it? I mean, he just stands there like an immovable object.

        Even if he were to slow it down - it’s not designed to withstand being held by 10cm2 anywhere.

          Un-ironically, believing in conspiracy theories is a good first step towards the alt-right. I hate to say it because it sounds so alarmist and slippery-slope-ist but I believe it to be true. If you look at QAnon and a big chunk of Trump supporters, they have the same conspiracy theory mindset. A lot of conspiracy theories have anti-Semitism at the core, and believing one conspiracy theory (especially about a subject as emotionally charged and that has caused so much harm historically) is a good way to start believing more and more conspiracy theories.

          We have seen in the recent past how the alt-right uses comics and "harmless" memes to recruit and it's a big factor as to how Trump won the first presidency.

          When you find out that MKUltra, Operation Northwoods, Operation Paperclip, Operation Snow White , Iran contra, The Black Panther Coloring Book, Tuskegee experiment etc. are all actually true, it increases the probability of unproven theories being true.

            Also this comprehensive Building 7 video by EdwardCurrent debunks pretty much all there is to debunk around Building 7, since a lot of the conspiratorial claims are uninformed or straight up bs.

            The UAF research team found that the collapse of WTC 7 on 9/11 was caused not by fires but by the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building.

              I think that there is a fine line between just stupidly believing conspiracy theories and actually asking yourself "this seems plausible, but how can I disprove it?"

              I once was against fluoride due to an article. 2 months later when I was shopping for a new toothpaste I was like "wait, what does fluoride ACTUALLY do?" And I did some research. While yes, it is toxic, you have to eat so much of this stuff it’s basically impossible, while the amounts you usually take are just enough to keep your gums healthy. You might develop white spots on your teeth if you eat literal tubes of toothpaste, but who does that.

                Iirc in the comics, superman has a not-often-discussed power to reinforce whatever he touches. Its just a massive handwave to get around obvious problems, but it lets him do cool stuff like rip buildings out of the ground, so i still suspend my disbelief

                  Heat rays can’t melt high tensile steel.
