@cstross Reportedly, the vast majority of COVID misinformation can also be traced back to a similarly tiny band of assholes (no word on whether there's any overlap between the two groups, but I'd bet that they're not more than a degree or two of separation apart).

There may not be a single reason why we can't have nice things, but this tawdry little coven of Comstocks shows that the total count is often barely in double digits.
