    It’s depressing seeing the shit that people will believe. I’ve immersed myself in learning about conspiratorial thinking and still never stop being surprised at the dumb shit people believe. I mean, stuff that just defies imagination (baby factories being the example in this article).

    I think religion is the primary common thread. People who believe fantastical stories start somewhere and I think it’s the christian bible.
