I really don't get why certain conspiracy theories like the moon landing being fake and 9/11 being an inside job are so controversial on the left
Is it really implausible that the usa, the worlds biggest imperialist power, would be willing to do these things for the sake of personal gain?
And yet if i bring it up i'm treated like an idiot, "no they would never do that", even though they're perfectly willing to do mkultra and distributing crack in black neighbourhoods

Because it implies the Soviets were in on it. Imagine if it was fake AND soviets would call a bluff. There is too much to lose.
was there even anything to "win" in the space race? like what did the US even get out of landing on the moon. If the space race was simply a pretense for the development of long range missiles then the moon landing was rather tangential and didn't achieve anything beyond legitimate scientific curiosity.

We're supposed to be materialists.
