I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    IIRC, the fun conspiracists moved to r/high_strangeness or something like that.

      That sub is trash also. I think the whole conspiracy theorist subculture has been taken over by the alt right and is highly politicized at this point.

        The days of mild and fun conspiracy theories are over. The entire community has been fully consumed with qanon/maga/antisemitism insanity. Their minds are irrevocably broken.

        It’s a shame. I grew up on xfiles and loved all the lore around the culture.

        I was afraid of that (which is why I phrased it less definitively than I could have). Good to know!
