I miss r/conspiracy. The more crazy and outlandish the conspiracy, the more they believed it was real. Interesting people watching but also entertaining to mess with.
Edit: I think they had a convention. The mere existence I found amusing.
Edit2: Shit like:
"We should create the Tax Riot Party, and not pay taxes, and then when they come after us for not paying taxes, we sue the government on the basis of immorality, and then demand direct democracy where we get to allocate our tax dollars into the government programs that we see fit."
Just move to the south. I dropped some stuff at the dump and the dumpmaster was talking at me about how 9/11 was actually holograms and his uncles friend worked for Linden Johnson, so he knows all about the secret alien projects and that we went to war in the middle east to locate a stolen rage/zombie virus that Russia developed and lost.
Yup, I live in the South. It's like a minimum security psych ward with a Dollar Tree inside.
