the point isn't to understand conspiracy theorists -- the point is to crush and humiliate them such that the owners of society can safely continue engaging in hostile endeavors without criticism or awareness.
- breakyerself 6y agoIronically it's the actual owners of society who have benefited from the BS conspiracy theories tied to climate change.
