VejWhat is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?
I feel like flat earthers might be the most insane one I’m familiar with - I don’t keep up with the conspiracy-verse though.

This timeline sucks, I want to go back to when everyone knew the X-Files was a TV show and fascists kept their brainrot on AM radio.
