Was reminded how Epstien not killing himself was/is so accepted yet it’s still a conspiracy theory. Is there any similar ones you guys believe to be completely true ?

Epstein didn't kill himself.

9/11 wasn't an inside job, but the American government did cover up their failures to prevent it.

I've heard some speculate that Al Qaeda had placed explosives or fuels inside the buildings in advance, suggesting that they had access to them days or weeks in advance. If true, I can absolutely see a campaign to cover up their failure to prevent it.

Half the conspiracies about 9/11 are from people not having the basic understanding that they collapsed the building after the fact as a desperately needed safety precaution.

Like no shit they used demolitions tools capable of taking down steel. You can't leave it to fall on its own whenever that happens to be.

Are you talking about 7? Don't remember if that was the building number, but the one that wasn't hit? I assume you don't mean the twin towers.

All the "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" nonsense like the fact that demolitions grade high-powered explosives being used is some conspiracy instead of the obviously necessary act to take when a skyscraper is damaged and no longer structurally sound.
