    my mother used to listen to art bell “to laugh at the weirdos” (until i noticed and pointed out the racism in the show) but we did enjoy listening to a good bigfoot or ufo story. especially since my extended family had a bigfoot costume we liked to bust out at family reunions. you had to be in your 40s or… i don’t know what i did to get the secret insider knowledge it was a costume and not actually bigfoot. I think everyone thought i was going to die so i got all the family secrets early.

      Yeah I know a few people who like to watch/listen to the conspiracy weirdos for entertainment. And thats fine.

      I used to read conspiracy theories in the same way I used to read ghost stories and such. It was just a different kind of fiction, something that felt that it could be real. These days the stupidity is too much and I can’t deal with getting the stuff from the source, I have to use intermediates like Professor Dave Explains, SciManDan, etc youtube channel people.
