    Are you trying to tell me that easily manipulated mindless clowns flock to fringe conspiracies and bullshit pseudo-science filled snake-oil wellness programs?

    Color me surprised!

        The article threw out a lot of potential reasons but the unsaid part about all of them was that they wouldn’t be an issue if so many people weren’t so goddamn stupid.

        Isolation?

        Mistrust of the government?

        Poor treatment of women’s health?

        In all cases, it takes two parts to drive someone to conspiracy theories. A catalyst like one of the above, plus fuel of pure goddamn stupidity.
