I’ve been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

    Here are some properties of any conspiracy theory worth it’s name:

    • Closed Ideological Systems: They provide an all-encompassing explanation for various events or states, with everything fitting into their worldview.
    • Immunity to Facts: Any contrary evidence is dismissed as false or considered part of the conspiracy.
    • Enemy Construction: They tend to draw a clear line between "us" (those who "know the truth") and "them" (the supposed conspirators).
    • Adaptability: Conspiracy narratives can change and incorporate new "evidence" or events to maintain their credibility.

    It matches for QAnon and the MAGA crowd as well as the lemmygrad crowd.
