      Proof that all it takes to sound like a conspiracy theorist is to know the names of four real, actual things the CIA has done.

        Yeah. It’s kind of annoying to know that there are real conspiracies out there. Proven ones.

        And because they exist and many people know about the real cases, right wing crazies can declare things like “the difference between conspiracy theory and conspiracy fact is about six months” and have others consider that true and profound. It’s absolutely maddening.

        There is a world of difference between the people jerking off to Q and Pizzagate nonsense and what the Church Committee found, for example. A lot of lazy morons think that because Epstein exists - a man known for his crimes prior, by the way - that it somehow vindicates things like Q and Pizzagate.
