The pipeline from “crunchy to conspiracy” is very real. There always been some conspiracy on the left and far left of course don’t get me wrong but now with social media, algorithms, troll farms etc. those who are predisposed to conspiratorial thinking are going over the cliff. It was simply a matter of finding which topics they could exploit, like vaccines which originally mainly had those on the left being against them. You can still be very left while believing and supporting right wing ideas and policy because it has been presented to you in a way you find palatable and appealing and of course gives you plausible deniability that it’s actually some how not right wing allowing both your ego and identity to survive the shift.
A lot of far left supporters actually support some wildly oppressive, authoritarian and ableist ideas

They can be but unless I missed something the ppl in this article are clearly not right wingers
