The state of the world is super scary but that of my mind, too.

I have reached a point where i wonder whether the whole concept of #ConspiracyTheory was invented to discredit people’s attempts to question the status quo. Or rather, whether actual (crazy) conspiracy theories are constantly put out deliberately in order to make independent investigations that ARE raising legitimate concerns look crazy too.

I fully realise this is NOT a good frame of mind!

@pvonhellermannn totally! Feels like we’re living in one massive conspiracy theory. Is this what the end of a world order feels like (to those inside the dying bit I guess)?
