Ricki Yasha TarrI feel like the conspiracy theorists are just gobsmacked right now, like pretty much all their theories were true, just not about the people they thought.
Sparkymike@RickiTarr I think most of them are so experienced in denial that they will explain it to themselves in a way that doesn't threaten their beliefs, but also that their numbers are dwindling as some realize that they are being dispossessed by the uncontrolled greed of their former heroes.
burly@mydogwrotethis oh sweet summer child. Words don't matter to fascists, they have no beliefs other than believing an invisible ethereal spirit has chosen them to enforce the hierarchy, and they will say or do anything to further that cause.
They're 'beliefs' are much easier to understand through that lense. If conspiracy theories weren't a route to power then they wouldn't believe them, because in reality they don't believe anything they say. It's that simple.
The lust for unending political domination over others is what drives even their most intimate and strongly professed beliefs, not the other way around. They don't give a single fuck about the greed of their party.
