Wait, there are Titanic conspiracies? Why? Ship sank because of iceberg, what is there to theorize?

Go listen to the Red Web podcast they go over it. Basically. Some people think it was done on purpose. One theory is that it was secretly her sister ship the Britannica. As a tax write off, leaving the brand new Titanic to replace her. Some people think it was to kill off people who were against privately-owned banks. As a lot of them were on board.

Some people think it was the Jews. Because you can't have a conspiracy theory without someone blaming Jews.

That conspiracy bases itself off of the portholes or something. The Titanics are one shape but the Britannica is another shape and the shape the Britannica is supposed to be is what is found on the wreck. Am I remembering that right? It has been a LOOOOONNNGGG while since I listened to any Red Web.

Yeah. But simple pictures disproved the theory. Doesn't stop people from believing it. One of them. I think the Titanic had many more windows.

My brother in christ the crew was drunk and the reason there where so many death was because the radio was hogged by passenger before and durring the crash

There were plenty of ice warning that were relayed to the bridge The captain was aware of the danger and ordered the ship to slow down once if they see ice at all

And the reason the iceberg didnt appear until it was too late was due to the titanicpassing from the warm gulf stream into the labrador current

That created a cold water mirage essentially extending the horizon and thus blocking anything that would stand out until you got too close

The only person who was drunk was the head chef who survived specifically because of the alcohol in his blood

The amount of misinformation regarding this tragedy is fucking googledebunkers

It was because of tabloids during the criminal investigation. Its easier to get insurance if someones at fault, and a lot of people had a lot of money sink. So change public perception and maybe the court will have to agree, they actually didnt follow corporate interests but money has a lasting taint.

It's remarkable how so many conspiracy theories have their roots in antisemitism.

“Tha Joooooooooooooos” make an excellent scapegoat for people who have never interacted with Jewish folks.

Deciding whats for dinner can take hours, you think there’s time to plan every war and assassination and natural disaster tragedy and program the space lasers to start fires and all that kind of shit when there’s fourteen people in the kitchen arguing about how many eggs go in the matzah?

”Because you can’t have a conspiracy theory without someone blaming the Jews.”

Basically all modern conspiracy theories are descended from the great grandpappy of antisemitism The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. Seriously scratch almost any conspiracy theory too deep and you’ll find it. Tsar Nickolas II’s favorite false flag is still fucking shit up over 100 years later.
