    Any deviation from the current norm inevitably ends up in conspiracy theories, most likely because it’s one of the most effective ways to avoid or delay change - aka enable the billionaire class to make as much money as long as possible.

    Think about 15 minute cities, eating insects, covid vaccinations, eating soy, trans people existing, …

    A lot of people are fundamentally afraid of change (or, more accurately, want everything to just remain normal), which the capital class gladly abuses to further their own interests.

        I don’t fully understand transgenderism. Doesn’t mean I’m afraid of it. It’s a thing that happens to some people. 🤷‍♂️

        So, I don’t know if fear of the unknown is an adequate explanation. I think people are being taught to fear these things; told that these things will hurt them
