      I feel like like the QAnon stuff swept up huge swaths of otherwise unconnected conspiracy theorists. Flat earth, chemtrails, aliens, all the “classic” conspiracies just kind of got co-opted and folded into the big crazy tent of insane people.

          It’s kind of a bummer. Aliens and Bilderbergers and Government Mind Control used to be fun little thought experiments to smoke a J and play what-if with your friends; but you can’t even bring that stuff up anymore without someone thinking you’re serious and bringing up adrenochrome or (((Globalists)))

          This timeline sucks, I want to go back to when everyone knew the X-Files was a TV show and fascists kept their brainrot on AM radio.
