Kinda ruins the whole conspiracy
I’ll just say that you see a fair number of fake conspiracies on a daily basis. Maybe ten-percent have some facts/support to ‘trust’. The rest all have problems with the story as you dig into them (some might be basically true but not as dramatic as you’d like to believe). It’s a problem in the US, and a particular problem in Germany (because of public TV).
It all leads back to our extreme skepticism of news and it’s delivery vehicle.
Footnote here: Any time a person writes a piece and say ‘East Germany’...it’s usually intentional. DDR/East Germany ceased over 30 years ago to exist. You could say eastern Germany, the state of Saxony, or just Chemnitz (the city) itself.
