    Ah, this will assuredly convince the conspiracy crowd to cease trusting grifters with their time, money, and mind space. …Right?

          I think it was Will Summers who stated that, “Qanon begins with a hospital bill you can’t ever pay.”

          We can mock them for their stupidity, but when stupid people are facing trauma like bankruptcy or divorce, or a child’s death, etc., conspiracy theory communities are the easiest to find. They’re on the radio, the television, the Facebook and the YouTube.

          Its even a wise decision for a stupid person to join a community willing to accept their reality over the ones who both point out their stupidity, even if we are the path most likely to actually help them solve their traumas.

          Seems reasonable to me, actually, but it sort of brings a sense of doom to think we (humanity) or eve just they (magas) are that far gone.
