> Yeah, and there’s nothing really “Left Wing” about them. They’re mostly a phenomenon of the nutty fringe that’s always existed, which never had a clear association with one party or one political wing. The nutty fringe just applies the same old CTs to whoever is in office, regardless of party.

Thank you, that’s the point I keep trying to make. These theories were called “fringe” for a reason, they were outside of the fabric of mainstream politics even if they might be tangentially connected.

That was always the case until the right wing began to weaponize conspiracy theories, then the right wing began to unravel and became mostly fringe,

The people on the outside saw this happening, those on the inside, not do much.

That frustrated my conspiritual friends. They actually claim that Alex Jones isn’t political, and the accusations that he’s hard right is just a campaign to discredit him.
