it’s easy to dismiss conspiracy theorists as a bunch of goofy idiots who are falling for bad alt-right ideology, but what if they’re actually doing the right thing, just in the wrong way? this video explores that idea with reference to the work of comedian conner o’malley, philosopher frederic jameson, writer naomi klein, and more.
