So I'm just going to point out that the first sentence of the article shows that the title is misleading. The twitter user didn't set off the conspiracy theory, the theory has been floating around since 2015 and is quite popular in certain circles.
- macspoofing 6y agoI'm with you on this. I used to drive late at night and occasionally would catch an episode of Coast to Coast (a conspiracy radio show). It felt like a kind of performance art where callers would world-build together, each adding or changing or clarifying another bit. The end result was a complicated parallel world of psychics and aliens and illuminati woven together into a kind of cohesive narrative. This 'FBI Impersonator' was just one individual adding to the existing conspiratorial narrative that Seth Rich was killed by Democrats because he knew too much.
