The Real Conspiracies Are Staring Us Right in The Face
They’re far more disturbing.
My brother-in-law loves conspiracy theories. He believes in demons, aliens, other dimensions. All of that.
It’s fun to talk about.
The problem is that he doesn’t know the earth revolves around the sun. This was news to him. He knows more about cryptocurrency and alternative medicine than he does about basic science. It’s not really his fault. He grew up in one of the poorest school districts in the country. He’s had to educate himself about the world through the internet. He’s the primary audience that conspiracy mongers are looking for.
Right now, millions of people out there think the world is run by lizard people who worship the devil and use children as pizza toppings. It’s hard to tell anymore who actually believes any of this, and who just pretends in order to score political points. It almost doesn’t matter.
It’s strange how conspiracy theorists get so worked up about lizard people, but not what’s happening in plain sight.
Like this:
Billionaires control the world.
There really is a group of elites who run everything.
