I expect dang to jump up any second and remind you that that's most likely because you don't come into contact with people from vastly different backgrounds who hold vastly different opinions on your other forums. It's actual diversity. Skepticism, even extreme skepticism, is generally a good thing, and having some people out there that are convinced that something is not as it seems is a good thing. Even if they're wrong, they will look very closely and bring things to attention that everyone else will not look into because they subconsciously feel that it's not a good idea to poke that hornets nest if you want to keep your ideological world view in tact. With Navalny, for example, there's been quite a bit of demands to halt or cancel North Stream 2. There are obviously very powerful interests in multiple settings that would very much like to see that happen. Obviously that doesn't mean anything for the case itself, but if you flat our reject that conspiracies and intelligence false flag operations exist (or, alternatively, believe "we're the good guys, we wouldn't do that"), you won't look into it, because why would you.
