I do really like looking into the origins of those same conspiracy theories though and how it all gained traction. Look up Bill Cooper if you haven't heard of him, he was a big early peddler of alien conspiracy stuff and his whole story is a fucking wild one. In fact without him the X-Files probably would never have existed.
There's a few episodes of Knowledge Fight about him too if you're into that, he's a real piece of shit but it's interesting to see the inception of so much modern conspiracy culture
Yea I miss when I could indulge in all that weird speculative conspiracy shit without knowing that most of it all basically leads to Nazi shit.
