Are they mentally ill?

I read once that they’re more likely to be

I love a good conspiracy theory and uncovering the truth about things.

Currently quite obsessed with the whole Epstein thing, find the McCanns situation very odd, covid was strange etc

Are you into them too, am I mentally ill 🙈😬😅

What’s a conspiracy theory? Who decides.

Was covid developed in a lab?

Did Hunter Biden’s laptop exists?

Was Biden cognitively unwell while he was in power?

Was the pretence of WMDs in Iraq a lie?

The ‘conspiracy theorists’ turned out to be right, didn’t they.

Whenever the ‘enlightened progressives’ are protesting too much trying to call you a conspiracy theorist, know that you’re probably right.

Very into them.. If you Youtube Shane Dawson conspiracy theory he has a load of videos about them that are fascinating.. he does other stuff to that doesn't interest me but his conspiracy ones from a few years ago are fab!!

I think it kind of depends on the theory being pushed if you visit Twitter often you will see some quite bizarre and deranged ones and think to yourself "yeah they definitely have something not quite right going on inside their heads.

But I think with some people it's actually maybe jumping on the bandwagon and wanting to feel included in something and maybe they are not entirely convinced of it themselves.

But with one in 3 people will be affected by a mental health issue at some point in their lives in highly possible that their is a mental health aspect to some of their thinking

Depends on which CT . Are the royals really lizards, probably not. Did Lee Harvey Oswald kill JFK definitely not.

I am 'into' them in finding them interesting. I'm not 'into' them as in agreeing with them or letting them form my world view.
