Probably the most interesting headline we would get about the Mafia for a while

      It's the same with the "great reset" conspiracy theorists, where it's specifically hitting people who understand that all these neoliberal think tanks, propaganda fronts, and neo-colonial power systems are really fucking bad, but then instead of recognizing the actual lies and crimes they just get hyper focused on vapid PR speak that's just the ghouls trying to euphemize their bullshit and sell it to other ghouls and start imagining that it's some conspiracy to do white genocide.

      And I think that's the point: these conspiracy theories come from the mouthpieces of far-right oligarchs and they prey on people who are disaffected but politically illiterate, turning them towards dangerously incoherent fascist conspiracy theories and away from actually understanding what's wrong with the world in a material sense.
