It depends on the conspiracy theory thought, doesn’t it? For example, the girls who protest about “saving our children” aren’t for one moment thinking that they are peddling absolute complete nonsense about the government.

It's a lot more complex than that.

It is, but you get what I meant.
Some people peddle conspiracy theories without even realising it.

The 'save the children' conspiracy theory is very much part of the wider QAnon nonsense, based around the rich & powerful running a massive child trafficking ring, and is complete nonsense.
Lizard aliens drinking the blood of virgins, fucking fruitcakes.
But, IF, they are only into that one conspiracy theory, I guess there's a chance of saving them.
I remember reading an interesting article about people who believe in conspiracy theories and it stated that there are patterns who believe in conspiracy theories. One of the patterns is that they don’t tend to just believe in one conspiracy theory.

Indeed, they tend to start with one & then get sucked into others, because so many are inter-connected & overlap nowadays.

The FB algorithm feeds this. Laugh at one conspiracy theory video and FB assumes you want to see a whole lot more of them.

Yep, it's a nightmare.
How conspiracy theories spread online – it’s not just down to algorithms
Researchers have been able to track how radical communities on the fringes of the web essentially manufacture conspiracy theories.

Social media platforms are a huge problem when it comes to spreading conspiracy theories.

That's just what they want you to think.
It's just a distraction from all the other painful, pointless shit we think, say, and do, that has nothing to do with conspiracy theories.
Other kinds of stupidity are still available!

Is it? Before the internet, conspiracy theories weren’t spread the same way they are now.

They were limited to certain subcultures. Those subcultures are now easier to access than ever before. Most importantly, groups within these subcultures can now have huge, emergent shopfronts to spread the word from.
As far as I'm concerned, a massive solar flare that wipes every hard drive in the world can't come soon enough.
It’s a slippery slope. I remember years ago in the 1980s at college a bloke was propagating Holocaust denial and claiming that the Jews were behind immigration.
The ‘save our children’ slogan is a mask for many ridiculous conspiracy theories. The protests about lockdowns bring all sorts of people out of the woodworks.

...it used children as the bait, like Britain first used dogs, and it changed the demographic of the believers, especially among women in middle age, it wasn’t long after it emerged that educated fifty something women were looking at Wayfair thru a new set of goggles, even some teachers ffs.

They still spread though and with much the same core people and motives involved - All the internet and social media has done is increase the speed, range and potential audience for their shite. Plus enabling more complexity than ever before.
About the only major difference that I can see is the number of people effectively monetising their activities via the different online platforms.

call it a hunch but I had a feeling the full irony of this post would soon be revealed.

Had a washing machine delivered from John Lewis today. The email I had from them beforehand said their delivery people would wear masks in my house.
First thing the young, maskless chap said when I opened the door wearing a mask was “Oh you don't need to wear that. You can breathe!”
Obviously a mask loon, so rather than start an argument I retreated upstairs and let them get on with it. His companion wore a mask the whole time....

heckling from the back!
We've just had some potential subbies visit - masks were automatically donned whilst discussions were in progress.
Although the older guy offered that he had been double jabbed, with the second nearly a month ago, but if we wanted masks on, that was fine by him Glare applied by him to younger companion, who then put his mask on properly ie pulled it tight over his mouth and nose (it was about to drop off, if he hadn't done anything with it !) ...

Says not an interview but a summary.
Comments are overwhelmingly from loons telling people not to get the vaccine. (Not watched it myself yet, sorry).
