    Conspiracy theorists don’t have the imagination to write fantasy literature. They can’t account for the inconsistencies in their theories and 99% of the time the reason they give for why a certain thing is the way it is amounts to: “the Jews did it”.

      Yeah I remember loving all that conspiracy, X-Files, Umberto, past lives, lost cities, etc etc — all that stuff. But scratch at any of it and it’s always some of the dullest, unimaginative reactionary bullshit just a hair’s width below the surface.

      Not to stereotype, but reminds of prison where everyone complains about capitalism without actually using that word (probably different now), but talk to them for more than 30 minutes annnnnd yup that’s antisemitism again. Fucking hell.
