Some friends of mine fell right into the Qanon trap, because they just started discovering some of the real conspiracies.
But they did not understand that it was also tricking them with fake promises.

There are several of those "conspiracy" groups.
All divert away from what is really going on, and they attack the realistic investigations.

Sometimes the agents mix in with existing groups to exaggerate or divert things.
This is well-known in UFO groups, but "viruses do not exist" has been very popular lately.
The solution is to stay focused and not to attack each other.
And just start with the evidence and facts if you want to discuss something.

The most extreme are flat earth, and no-plane 9/11.
They start with very extreme assumptions,
and attack anyone who uses real-world science to get to the truth.
Even basic science and basic evidence is attacked or bent in weird ways.

Critical theory is also like that. More on a political level.
Where only feelings matter, even if people are psychotic.
And they put the blame of their psychosis on other people.

Note: feel free to go any rabbithole you want.
It is your choice, but not everyone elses.

The "viruses do not exist" psyop has been incredibly effective since covid. It blows me away that it works. People who were intuitive enough to see through the covid lie just go on to fall for another obvious (to me anyway) deception. It should have been super obvious when it showed up out of pretty much no where after covid started. Another big tell to me is the fact that the big pushers of this theory never got banned from youtube and other platforms. The Bailey's, Kaufman, Cowan et all never got deplatformed and are still allowed to spew their nonsense on all the major platforms. To me that's a glaring red flag and shows that they are either agents of the cabal or simply useful idiots.

I gave the theory a very fair shake. I watched plenty of videos and read a lot of articles arguing the theory, as I always try to be opened minded. It's also a very clever trap because the theory starts off with a very legtimate and sound idea that is not even really controversial, ie that whether you get sick or not has a lot to do with your diet, environment and mental state but then it devolves into this insanity of "viruses dont exist at all" What's worse is the people espousing these ideas fail to provide plausible evidence based alternative explanations for phenomenon we've all experienced directly such as becoming ill when around others who are ill. They almost always answer the question with a question, dodge the question or revert back to some nonsense about how viruses have never been isolated blah blah blah.
