Conspiracy theorists and statists are actually a lot alike.
Neither thinks for themselves. Instead, they are all like dogs on a leash being led. They are told information on 4CHAN or FOX/CNN and believe almost all of it without question as long as it's "their source".
Meanwhile, all of these sources are absolute garbage and filled with fake news.
Pizzagate (4Chan), Gun Control (CNN), Illegal Immigrants (FOX),, etc...
They all have their own level of bs nonsense fearmongering yet the people in each camp can't even see the nonsense.
Whether you believe in conspiracies, or that statism is some saving grace (statists), you're being led by fools and foolishness.
Most conspiracies and statist fearmongering are really just fake news on both fronts.
Empirical libertarians like myself are the real woke!
The "red pill" analogy from the Matrix was actually another mechanism for the machines to control mankind.
