We are living in one of the few times in human history where you can buy a loaf of bread and if it says it’s made with wheat flour and salt and yeast and water and nothing else, it’s probably made from just those ingredients, and some people want to END this.

People are so desperate not to examine capitalism as the driver of events, including authoritarianism, that they'd rather believe people are being blackmailed into doing what they want to do and what they will profit from doing.

That desperation is one of the main drivers of conspiracy theories.
