    Conspiracy connoisseur, and I gotta say, since Epstein was fucking merced in broad daylight, so to speak, I'm kinda back on that shit. Seriously though, conspiracies are a good point of entry because, barring alien pyramids and bigfoot, almost all of them have a kernel of truth, and that kernel is capitalism is a fucking terrible system.

        You know, I never actually heard a plausible explanation for the free-fall collapse besides explosives, I just noticed that "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" became a meme, as if that was enough to refute all the fairly obvious questionability of the official explanation. I never even heard the idea that the buildings or planes were empty, never got that deep I guess. TrueAnon did a 5 part series on 9/11 on the week of this year.

            See, I don't think I ever got into right-wing 9/11 circles, I don't remember any of the documentaries I binged mentioning "arabs" or muslims at all, just talking about how no skyscraper has ever collapsed from fire, before or since, and the building fell at free-fall, which unless I just don't understand some shit, only happens when the bottom falls out, not when the top collapses down onto the rest. I recommend the TrueAnon eps, they're lefties, and are still pretty sure the official story is bogus, so I feel a little justified in remaining unconvinced.

                  I think it was Fahrenheit 911 for me. In theaters. I remember the bodies hanging from the bridges. And my father covering my eyes a second too late.

        I also believed in the antisemetic shit when I was a teenager. Started getting into the race realism bullshit too and fell for the imperialist propaganda. Literally never interacted with a black person on a personal level until I was 17. Made some friends on a photography forum and made some offhand remarks that alarmed them so they called me out on my bullshit. Eventually became a liberal but one of the aforementioned friends was a socialist who tried to radicalize me. Of course being a liberal I thought the Manifesto was the communism book so I thought I'd read it and refute it easily because my head was still in my ass but ended up agreeing with Marx. I'm cringing rn thinking about teenage me.
