      seen several write-ups (and I think BE, whatever you think of him, just released a video on this too recently) that argue that liberals can’t actually combat conspiracy theories like this because they arise from the difference in the propaganda they spew and the reality that people can actually see in their own lives, and so they come up with all these conspiracy theories as a result to cope. Think that explains most of it.

      Edit: not really much of a write up, but this is the first thing I found searching through “conspiracy” on lemmygrad so you can at least know I’m not making up people writing about this: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/197287
