Lumping all theories about current events into a single basket is silly. Remember that cigarettes causing cancer used to be a "conspiracy theory" and we had a more free press back then than we do now.
But you are right it is normal for people to think for themselves even if they are missing some / all their screws.
- kevingadd 7y agoThe point where it becomes a problem is essentially where thinking for themselves (good) transforms into being led astray by other 'free thinkers' who have realized they can exploit people's fear and skepticism. Q has been in many cases a money-making exercise for opportunists and not an actual exercise in truth-seeking.
- anbop 7y agoThinking for yourself is not an unalloyed good. It’s important to realize where you need to rely on expertise.

Its probably impossible to stop idiots from spending money on scams... The government exploits peoples fear and skepticism frequently. Remember the time when Saddam Hussian had links to Al Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction? The Iraq war will cost way more than any online opportunist and without those that question the narrative how could we ever have a chance of fighting these sorts of things?
