The problem with the discourse on insane conspiracy theories is the omission that every popular mythology circulating right now has it's origins in real policy failures from the last 20 years. This stuff didn't get memed into existence recently.

"Sovereign Citizens" are the natural evolution of the ATF and FBI's policy toward perceived domestic terror threats in the early 90s, and the fact they killed a bunch of folks. Omitting that is like discussing ISIS and omitting the bit where the US invaded Iraq.

The modern "anti globalist" neo Nazi fringe isn't just a creation of 4chan in 2016, it's what happens when ridiculously high incarceration rates in the US rust belt funnel kids into arms of the Aryan Brotherhood, which was the largest criminal enterprise in the US for 20 years.

5g conspiracies are whacko to anyone with a basic understanding of physics, but if you lived in the US fly over states in the 90s, when the government really was covering up the fact the air and water was being poisoned by corporations you can at least see where it starts.

And for all its insanity and the fact that it's probably an intel op, one thing you can't take away from qanon, is that there really is an international elite pedophile conspiracy and its fixer is in court right now.

Even anti vaxxers, arguably the most dangerous of he bunch, have a justifiable gripe in so far as the US pharmaceutical industry have acted with reckless disregard for the public health interest for decades.

Just because folks are crazy doesn't mean their crazy doesn't have a reason.
