- marricks 8y agoI mean sure, but a common issue with conspiracies is they become so pervasive in social media, like top comments on hacker news, and then draw in the not-so-conspiracy-minded in. That’s what I’m trying to preempt.
- lucb1e 8y agoA lot of "conspiracy theorists" were proved right by the Snowden discoveries. Not all of them are lunatics, some extrapolate facts and expect something most people would not. One is not either sane or conspiracy minded, there are a lot of people that would be helped with facts.
