Conspiracy nutjobs are fun to troll

There is some fun in it! But, sadly, the percentage of conspiracy nutjobs seems to be increasing the past few decades - anyone agree?

The reality is once the percentage of these folks creeps above 10% of society, it becomes more tiresome than fun dealing with this nonsense.

So, if you are one of these minions who think Steve Bannon, MTG or Kari Lake speaks the truth - go eat a D. You are ruining society.

Crackpot conspiracy believers have increased greatly in the past 20 years. It is all due to the internet, which allows the malicious and nutcases unrestricted, unfiltered access to tens of millions of people. Before the internet, conspiracy nuts and purveyors of hate speech were restricted to seedy tabloid newspapers and handing out leaflets on corners.

Right from the start the internet should have had editors and fact-checkers vetting every site. Frauds, racists, those advocating violence and sedition should have been banned and allowed no access to the internet.
