I disagree—opinions on the moon landing don't matter because for the most part our lives are divorced from whether or not it happened.

It's much easier to get people to believe stuff that they already want to believe. In conspiracy terms, this looks like qanon's "liberals are pedophiles" and a belief that russia somehow has more influence over our politicians than israel does.

But it all ties in to each other - "the moon landings were fake because they wasted the money on other black projects, we could have been so much better off" and so on.

Well sure, if you're looking to be angry you can tie anything into your interests. But actual criticism of the moon landing is soberly connected to reality: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goh2x_G0ct4

I'm just saying there's a reason why moon landing is such a funny topic to discuss—if you do deeply care about it enough to deviate from the accepted narrative, that's very odd.
