    This is your occasional reminder that the conspiracy nutballs can be on the left sometimes too.

      They are not left or right. They are just people that strictly believe everything that has been disproven or is too stupid to bother disproving, as long as ANY thread of correlation can be made up between it and observable reality.

        To be fair that correlates with being right wing for some reason

          The disconnect from reality combined with being prone to belief without proof.

          Watch Dan Olsen’s video on flat earthers. I’m having a hard time remembering details but the conspiracy theories are more of a symptom than anything. These people are looking for a community as well as an explanation for why the world is so fucked up, and why they are miserable. Anti-semitism and conspiracy theories are more satisfying than anything the left can provide.

      Dating has taught me this. I’m not sure I like this version of the multiverse.
