My best friend has an unnatural talent for this sort of thing and really enjoys toying with conspiracy theory nuts.
When folks start talking about crazy shit, it makes me very anxious and I tend to shut down. Not my buddy. He eggs them on, encourages it, and gets them to say things or agree with things that are even more outlandish than where they conversation started. Things will start at “China invented covid to kill off old people” and somehow end up at “Hillary Clinton paid to have her chromosomes added to the covid vaccines so that DNA evidence can no longer be used against her in the courts”.
I think that basically is yeah. Then, when they saw that it had gathered a following, admins on a #chan who were pro-Trump and think that they’re super smart because they use Haskell took over to pump up fringe support.
It’s possible the name might be related to some TV series that’s been largely un-watched by flyover state boomers who spend 1000s of hours a year listening to MW and SW radio.

I love this method and employ it at bars. It’s like gonzo conversationalism.
Wasn’t that somewhat how Q-anon started?

Yeah, but how do I know that what you just wrote isn’t another conspiracy theory? I’m just so confused
Oh that’s just the normal effect of the alien mind control rays.
Nah. It all started with FBIanon.
