1 month agoI dont think it’s a good strategy to assume that conspiracy nutters are uneducated. My anecdotal data is that I know at least two college educated people who are big Alex Jones fans and were completely on board the pizzagate and sandy hook train. They’re by no means stupid but self-radicalized with YouTube and Fox News. It’s easy to get caught up in the propaganda machine.
I once bought a six pack of beer, some vaseline, a cucumber and rubber gloves. On a Friday afternoon. Didn’t think about it until I got a very weird look from the cashier.
