The flat earth/alien/big foot etc. shit was at least civil for the most part, sometimes even fun. but now every conspiracy is dangerous as shit. Bunch of fake high profile pedo accusations (while ignoring possible real ones due to partisan politics), coronavirus is fake or 'plandemic', masks are being used to control you, thermometer checkpoints are the 666 mark of the devil, ton of anti semitic shit, Nick Cannon lol etc.

And it's getting increasingly harder to reason with these people. I'd expect this kinda shit from the chan sites but it's all over my FB feed which was not like this before the quarantine.

Even flat earthers were dangerous to an extent because most of them are anti-science which is an inheriently dangerous mindset even if the belief that the earth is flat is not dangerous in and of itself

Sure but its relatively harmless. But I guess it did end up leading to the shit I'm complaining about now.

Aren't you anti social interaction and relationships by evidence of your anime sex game addiction?

Eh, idk, if you let conspiracy theorists run around unchecked, it can be dangerous. It's possible they can get their misinformation into children's heads or into parents heads who teach their children this stuff or worse (anti-vaxxers)

It's just that typically our methods of dealing with conspiracy theorists are not the best because we tend to insult them instead of try to educate them in a peaceful way. All that really does is make them double down on their beliefs rather than ever listen to facts and logic.

And I get it's crazy to say we need to use patience when talking about people who think insane shit, but the rabbit hole is a weird place, and it's tough to come out of without being treated that way.

Remember when a bunch of far-left "journalist" coached a mentally ill women into accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault and you continued to call him a rapist even when the story fell apart?

Glass houses my guy.
