Extreme conspiracism is flat-earth, or the Queen is a lizard-person. Or, perhaps, what you are doing, and others on this site. In your world, there are all these powerful cults/cabals/clubs who go up against each other. In the real world, there is the cult that swallows all cults, and then authoritarians who know about the cult and utilizes its tricks to get an upper hand. Ultimately, they are the enemy.

But in your world, only the club or cult you choose to focus on is the enemy. You leave out all the allies of the jesuits, and pretend that they are somehow not the same. If their philosophies are different, I'd want to hear them debate it. Oh, no, I'll only ever find them talking about it in some controlled way. I won't believe chronic liars to be honest about their own beliefs.

I'm tired of conspiracy theorists like HibikiBlack and EliFromTheBook, among others, who think they have the secret insights and knowledge that we don't - and refuse to share or explain it, much less present it rationally. I know a crazy lady near me who thinks she's the secret Queen of Canada, among other woo stuff (NOT joking). Her heart is good and she delivers /s/Druthers papers, but I wonder if she makes a bad impression for our community.

I won't miss pointless debate when I'm making videos.

And, I'm descended from Jesus, Guardian of the Holy Grail. Did I never tell you? /s

Yeah, she's probably turning some people away from dissident/conspiracy information.

She also claims to have rare inside knowledge above other skeptics (so tired of that shtick). She really likes to talk, but only with people she trusts, allegedly. I haven't seen her interact with others, so I don't know how much of her confidential crazy talk gets out. She delivers papers in Windsor, so that's good. Her friends must know her well enough. And she's old and feeble so her mobility is limited. She's a Luddite so she's "contained". Apparently she was abducted when younger. I think that was true, but the real question is whether it was by villains or doctors or villainous doctors. She may have been MK Ultraed for all we know.
