Classic conspiracy theorists find the shift in conspiracy theories troubling. Wonderfully nuanced article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/04/opinion/conspiracy-theory-qanon.html?unlocked_article_code=BDV3YBFENqNRdnDwqR1oA855poi_cuE1FlToizdWSe8EK_yllPeowIr89rJ4BUiRiOsvyICqC2b4wMX8g7hKL_ViI6p6dldweKl_O-4y8nsKRldhD4Km-DJkOKw45PZuZoLYGmjdXjhM-LRej0Y5-y8_5_0yXyYD1hq3aSIYZFGenzRjcvniXQHnL5qylQXGfRaeWKAKKFZKZPleJJ7MYKroMn6W3T20aZt2rj8Rk8uZwyWFMNN-LTN1Q_RqXiJQdLqn9dgW4KPRalfJGfUTtoQy95vQb9n1OLbu4oHjzAn8QWMEU4rswlyX6Bu8lWAlus5ok1l_15-C7fs8fwo&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

nostr:npub162dqndxn30uudg4ftllg9envelm6wa7045gse8aekd7z5lv27w2ska5lvt The article was nuanced—I thought it didn’t “reward” the theorists or let them off the hook but described how much more extreme and dangerous the new ones were. I remember the Satanic Cult Panic. A neighbor across the street was broken into in the 90s and her wisdom teeth were taken (she had them in an envelope that probably looked like jewelry). A cop said, “oh, these are used in satanic rituals.” !!!
