[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1056748, member: 70552"] Have added that to my list to watch. Social media has definitely accelerated the spread of conspiracy theories re: Covid, but the appeal has always been there. I have also said on here before about the JFK assassination. A book industry flourished from it, film (JFK with Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones). Theories debunked expertly by Gerald Posner in “Case Closed” and also Vincent Bugliosi’s even more detailed book. Reading some of the theories that appealed them and still now, show it’s not a new phenomena. But also how crazy it can get (mix of a POTUS getting killed with the threat of WW3 starting) and how people can go down a rabbit holes even without social media and algorithms. [/QUOTE]
