Like a lot of "dangerous" speech online I wish the government would focus their efforts on helping the people who are getting sucked in to these ideologies rather than trying to police them. I have a friend who went down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole shortly after his dad died. He's very clearly mentally unwell. He owns several firearms and sometimes I do worry about him snapping. But there's just no reasoning with him when it comes to his conspiracies or seeking medical treatment.
He's not a criminal. I hope he doesn't become one. Once upon a time he was a really nice guy. But I think he (and society) would benefit a lot more from some support and mental health treatment than surveillance.
