Some go as far as to say religious people are mentally ill.
What we’re witnessing with the modern conspiracy theory is basically an incubator (a legit ycombanitor) for religion startups. Literally watching the moment of the Big Bang when all of our major religions started from some unsubstantiated claims over to divine laws - with no one asking for a shred of proof as it spreads. How did that happen? A good story, characters, dumbasses, boredom, etc. Oh, sprinkle some persecution in there, that always fans the flames (Christianity in Rome).
So, QAnons being persecuted and banned now? Textbook startup, time for more funding.
Fascinating really.
