cryptotheism:

Lotta confusion as to “why are the granola save the whales hippies right wing conspiracy theorists now?” And I think the answer is twofold:

  1. Any social movement in the anglosphere is gonna have a certain amount of reactionaries who happen to be temporarily aimed at a good cause. A lot of them were always low-key right wing.
  2. When you have no ability for class analysis, it is a very short idealogical step from “distrust of pharmaceutical companies” to “distrust of modern medicine as a whole” to “judeo-bolsheviks are poisoning white babies for profit”

This trend will continue until people have access to non-predatory healthcare. Conspiracism thrives when people are failed by the systems they rely on.
