| Comment | I explained to her that the whole Wayfair thing was nonsense because given the thousands of products they stock, that it was inevitable that some would match up with the names of people who had gone missing. I also pointed out that many of the missing children were actually no longer missing since it’d happened years ago. That worked pretty well.
I then went on to talk to her about the Pizzagate stuff. I pointed out that it was awfully convenient that the targets of this conspiracy just happened to be Trumps political opponents and celebrities who have criticised him.
Lastly I explained the seductive appeal of conspiracy theories. In a chaotic, random world it’s deeply appealing to attribute the awful things that happen to a grand conspiracy. That they’re not random and unplanned but instead they’re intentional. |
