Couldn't they have moved to Utah?
Something similar between going conspiracy-bonkers and other ways of going bonkers. my next-door neighbor growing up was a reasonable guy, until one day he told his wife he planned to take a second wife in Uganda. She obviously divorced him, she kept the house, he went to Uganda and presumably learned that the second-wife in question was a scammer who needed assistance in paying school fees… maybe believing that the chemtrails are making the frogs gay is just a more controlled way to go through the same emotional process.

this, like JFK, is really just an aside, but the Unabomber isn't/wasn't a conspiracist in really any sense (that I'm aware of). his critique of "the industrial-technological system" is quite rational and really, common-sense, even if his solution is both infeasible and abominable (tho unlike most primitivists, he at least isn't starry-eyed about "the negative consequences of eliminating industrial society", i.e. death and suffering on an enormous scale, he just thinks the price is worth paying).It's not odd she's a green *at all* - they lap this stuff up. Think of the Unabomber. Can all get v "modernity is a trap"/back to the land in an instant.
There's an interesting case of the snake swallowing its tail here, or something like that, in that when it comes to the fossil fuels/climate change issue, the conspiracy theory - "the 'climate change' panic is a hoax created by scientists so they can get more funding/the Chinese to hobble American industry" - is itself the conspiracy.greens in my experience are no more prone to conspiracism than anyone else – a potentially reductionist good and evil view of the economic forces behind environmental degradation, yes (tho sometimes that’s justified – see the lobbying efforts of fossil fuel trade groups and the harm caused by the fake climate change “debate” they created over the last 20ish years) but wild-eyed conspiracy thinking, not really.
Very droll Ollie.I assume they were correct about the weird porn, at least?
