I can’t help but feel that many conspiracy theorists are slowly trying to rebrand themselves into public intellectuals. A few I follow have been posting their support for a return to the gold standard (for New Zealand and Australia) despite not having any form of Economic qualifications

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social latest article in the Atlantic reminds me of Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke. The New Zealand politician, a video of whom doing a haka was shared around the world. She also thinks she can use the Moon and stars to heal oneself and predict natural disasters.

"When conspiracy theories and nonsense cures are widely accepted, the evidence-based concepts of guilt and criminality vanish quickly too."
