As conspiracies become more commonplace we will see a lot more of this too. Especially when it comes to politics. Getting people to believe obvious nonsense means that you can push lots of other further nonsense even more easily, as your mark is already captured. Remember when it was mainstream to call Obama not an actual citizen? I fear for the US and other Western countries as we become more politically polarized. It leads to general instability and eventually really poor decisions wrecking economies. Looking at the current state of the UK is really sad, a nation that has neutered its future economy despite have a highly educated and industrious populace. These sorts of insanities becoming mainstream has the potential to affect us all.
