I tried the "I've never found the evidence" and the response was "Because the government/CIA has scrubbed it from existence". I also asked "In 10-20 years when we're not eating only 2oz of meat a month, what then?" The answer wasn't that they were wrong but that "We stood up to the meat ban and won".

I’m on your side, but could please name the top reputable sources that you would use to gather evidence that’s contrary to the mis or disinformation these conspiracy theorists might use. Thank you in advance for your time and efforts in this matter.

How do I talk to someone who thinks that Japanese people were originally black but replaced by racist europeans

The person that believes every conspiracy and doesn't try to debunk it is still less crazy than the person who doesn't even look into conspiracies to see if they're true, or assumes it's fake because it's outlandish. The Earth being round was thought of as crazy back in the day.

Conspirancy theories are fun topics and taken way out of context even tho it may risk peoples life.
