I knew a guy who vehemently denied the French revolution happened. Like CONCRETELY denied that this well documented well researched event in french history ever happened. We are not French, we don't live in france, but he still RABIDLY denied that it ever happened. I don't remember all of his evidence but one of his arguments was that cameras didnt exist back then, and as such it was easier to fake things like this. He also said that painters were paid lots of money to paint fake events to placate the plebs.

Now you as well as I was in that moment are probably wondering, well what does this change if it was faked? His answer. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Of course man it was so long ago this wouldn't have changed anything in our lives why are you being so weird about this?

You may also be of the mindset that well, that's weird but I guess its the kind of thing that you might never talk about. How often do you sit around talking about who your favorite deposed monarch is? The issue is he brought it up ALL THE TIME as a "fun fact" in my opinion fun facts need 3 rules. They need to be fun, which conspiracy theories almost never are because of how angry the speaker gets, They need to be FACTS and 3 the secret rule no one talks about, you need to not get FURIOUS when people just dont care about your fact. If he started talking about this and no one took the bait he would get MAD and start pacing around the room trying to spark up the conversation again the MOMENT whatever people were talking about died down.

Really weird guy.
