No (and it wasn't my intent to suggest that). My initial instinct was in fact to say "yes, things are faster". But then thinking about it, what struck me as interesting is that things that feel recent, in my head, like QAnon, are rooted in manufactured falsehoods that are already six and a half years old. So it's not necessarily the case. It might be more interesting in some ways that QAnon hasn't already started a war. Though I genuinely see no particular reason why a conspiracy theory of its type could not; it's not that difficult to imagine in the context of human history.
